Large Ice Age Bison Skull Cap with Horns
Bison priscus
Pleistocene
Rhine River, Germany
A fine fossil skull cap with impressive, well preserved horns from an extinct ice age bison. Bison priscus, also known as the steppe bison, inhabited the mammoth steppe during the Quaternary (as early as 2.6 million years ago) and ranged throughout Europe, Central Asia, Northern to Northeastern Asia, Beringia and North America. The present impressive specimen would be equally at home in a vertebrate collection or as a dramatic focal point in a distinctive interior design scheme. Measuring 46 x 14 x 6 in
