Check out my free exhibit i put together with river legacy nature center in Arlington Texas if your local or in town. there a lot of good trails to hike in the Trinity river forest and bottom lands. I loaned some of my collection all that were found by me and my kids over the years to go along with there summer camp classes of 2nd graders that is centered around extinct mammals etc. here are the display cases I put together with staff. will be on display till end of summer.

After 20 years of searching creeks and local Texas river I finally found a bison skull well the cap with horns. Creek was just low enough for me to see it. Think roots growing in it helped it not wash away. Found a few bones 30 yards down stream that prob came from same animal found 100s prob close to over 500 bones of this species and others but no skull cap with horns. just a few jaws with teeth etc. here she is. Will start to preserve it and sitting in water right now. tons of roots in it in every little hole and compact deposit mud and rock. i added in my opinion the prettiest of north Texas fish species also I caught. I have a native aquarium at my house. Also my 11 year old thosand mile walked together explorer dog also. she keeps Sasquatch at bay and and other things I cannot see at bay or alerts they are around while my head is looking at ground. good advice is to get a dog that can be vicious when needed. Just saying. Some weird stuff in the woods I have encountered. IMG_3548.MOV

Hello, I found this bison skull in a creek yesterday after a very heavy rain (that downed many trees in a few areas). Positive it's bison, but not sure if it is a young bison bison, or possibly a bison antiquus calf? The horns from tip to tip are 20 1/2" and the length of the skull is around 19 1/2" There are 3 upper cheek teeth present, the back 2 worn down considerably. Any help would be much appreciated!

Hello, can anyone identify what mammal these bones may have come from? I know with some it may be very difficult, but any help would be appreciated. All fossils other than the first one that was found from a borehole from the north sea 46 metres down are from Happisburgh, all Norfolk, UK. I will post the next fragments after this post.
