Is this a cow, horse, or bison scapula? I live in an area where bison used to roam and know that on the same property, bison skulls and bones have been found. Please let me know your thoughts and reasoning on how it was identified. Thank you!

This is Not equine in that your sample shows a definite acromion process, lacking in horses. Also the supra to infraspinus fossa ratio looks to be wrong. 1:2 in horses, 1:3 in bovine. I know nothing about bison though!!!!!!!!!!
