I know, not old enough to be a fossil yet. Found in West Bend in the river where I have found dozens of teeth and bones, possibly downstream from a slaughter site. This is my largest so far and my first guess is a bison. My problem is the larger size.... I am so far East of the Mississippi that only the smaller subspecies of Bison are supposed to have been here. It would seem too small to be a ground sloth or tapir or is there something else I'm not aware of?

Found a mineralized skull fragment with broken horn bases in southeast Texas. Mostly pleistocene fossils here. The horns seem fairly close-set, which I wouldn't expect with bison. But they're fairly wide and thick, so I was leaning away from things like deer or antelope. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks. --Brandy
