Found in the Cimarron River in Kingfisher County, OK. 25" tip to tip on his horns, 26.5" from top of skull to tip of nose. I would like more info on what he is, Antiquus, Occidentalis, or B.Bison.

It's a beauty. Identification of bison skulls can be difficult if it is not your specialty...and it's not mine. ;) However, downloading this PDF and comparing measurements might get you closer to an ID.

Bison skull from the historic era 1860 - 1900. Bison antiquus was larger than the modern buffalo with broader horns. Also, the condition just looks too good to be old enough an antiquus.
