I thought that was a little later model, but I can't really tell the size. Cool find. In Oklahoma, I've found a few buffalo skulls. And a mammoth tusk and tooth. As many buffalo as there were, you'd think the bones would be about a foot thick all over the land, but early settlers collected them and sold them for fertilizer, and pretty much cleared them out. (Yeah, I know, buffalo-bison.)

Def would think that! My buddy owns the land where he founded the Waco mammoth site. They tied up his land for a few years and we're trying to not let him build or do anything so he made the Waco mammoth site so it was his and protected. That's about the only mammoths I've seen in person.

Antiquus quite a bit straighter horns

And bone black I believe, going back to the poster asking about the Buffalo jump if I were collecting bones to make a living that would be a great place to look maybe that’s why there aren’t more bones there… also there’s soil conditions, here in se Kansas bone doesn’t last long under most conditions…
Also I believe antiquis was more solitary, if I remember correctly bison weren’t originally herding animals. A bison latifrons skull would be killer if we’re talking extinct bison

Oh me too man! Hope we find 1. I got a buddy that sent me some hair from a woolly mammoth from the Frozen tundras in Russia. It's pretty awesome

He could make a fortune selling that hair to fly tiers.
