Hi there! I am new to this site and woefully uneducated on fossils/bones/skulls but my friend felt like this skull was a bit large to be bison bison so I'd love to hear what anyone on here thinks! The largest diameter around the horn base is 8.5 inches. Item was found in NW Wyoming in the Wyoming range mountains south of Bondurant, WY. It was unearthed in an area that was burned over by the Roosevelt fire in '18. I don't really know what happens to bone when it burns so totally possible its a recent burned skull and not even a fossil but I figured I'd ask. Thanks so much.

Founded in 1818 and housing over 20 million items, the National Museum of Brazil caught fire today and may be a total loss. Does anyone know specifics about their paleontology collections? I imagine the mineral collections included priceless specimens... http://news.trust.org//item/20180903001032-p13t9/
