RMZ Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 I found this skull in the Arkansas River in northeast Oklahoma. It is definitely fossilized. It weighs a lot. I hope the pictures are good enough. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread might help to identify it, though it would help to still have the horns available. I'm not familiar with the specific fauna in that area. Cool find !

Shellseeker Posted April 21, 2021 Share Posted April 21, 2021 Quote Bootherium bombifrons is the scientific term used to describe the regal woodland musk ox. During the Pleistocene era, this large mammal was one of the most prominent musk ox species in North America. Woodland musk ox fossils have been discovered all over the country, including in Alaska, Texas, California, New Jersey, and Oklahoma. I learn something new every day.....
