Item Details
Description
Circa 21st-1st century BCE or later; North America
A well-preserved fossilized skull of an American bison, also mistakenly known as an American buffalo
20" H x 24" W" x 9" D

Notes: The bison is an undisputed icon of the American West with a wide, heavy face, prominent eye sockets, and curved horns that project horizontally. A member of the bovine family, the bison diverged from a common ancestor with the water buffalo and African buffalo around 5 to 10 million years ago. During the late Middle Pleistocene, around 195,000-135,000 years ago, the bison migrated across the Bering land bridge from Eurasia into North America, eventually becoming the American bison we know today.
