BellamyBlake Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 It looks bison or camel to me, but between those two I'm leaning towards bison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digit Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Is the location you found this jaw known for Pleistocene finds? If not, consider modern-day cow as a possibility. Cheers. -Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two mammoth fossils (partial tooth and tusk fragment - see my other posts) and possible ancient horse tooth have been found in the same stretch of river but the majority of what around is modern. We find a lot of cow and modern hog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Pristis Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 Well, I think it's bovid and probably bison.
