I base my guess on preservation, size, and the smooth enamel (bison enamel typically has shallow crenulations). 1 http://pristis.wix.com/the-demijohn-page What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time? ---Shakespeare, The Tempest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
