May I ask from my complete ignorance... how do you know it's 15,000 years old?

That is incredible... I'm going to Google Isle of Wight... Plehbah has me interested how... gotta check out weirdos.

It has been taken to a museum they put all the information on the tag but the photo is a bit wobbly the Isle of wight is a great place that has many shipwrecks and dinosaurs footprints ect

That is a very cool find, especially considering that the location of recovery was the Isle Of Man. But then again, that place is not short on oddities.

It is actually a "horn core", as bison will shed the actual keratin "horn" on a seasonal basis. Your piece is bone, and a part of the skull.

Very interesting.

That is not true,Bison did have "Horns",not antlers, which means they do not shed there horns.Sheep and goats are the same way.I beleive Antelope are the only mammal that has a bone core yet has antlers(sheds them yearly)
