Bison antiquus taylori tooth Florida Pleistocene Age (2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago) This specimen has great color and presents well. This tooth measures 1 1/4" across and sits 1 1/4" tall. Bison antiquus, the ancient or antique bison, was the most common large herbivore of the North American continent for over 10,000 years, and is a direct ancestor of the living American bison. B. antiquus was taller, had larger bones and horns, and was 15-25% larger overall than modern bison. It reached up to 2.27 m (7.5 ft) tall, 4.6 m (15 ft) long, and a weight of 1,588 kg (3500 lb). From tip to tip, the horns of B. antiquus measured about 3 ft (nearly 1 m).

Membranipora Bryzoan SITE LOCATION: James City Formation, James City Formation, USA TIME PERIOD: Pleistocene age (2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago) Data: Membranipora is a genus of bryozoans in the family Membraniporidae. A typical example is the widely distributed species Membranipora membranacea that commonly encrusts seaweeds, particularly fronds of the kelps Laminaria digitata, L. hyperborea, and Saccorhiza polyschides. Colonies of M. membranacea show different forms of polyphenism as spines, tower zooids, chimneys and stolons.

Cyclocardia granulata Bivalve SITE LOCATION: James City Formation, Beaufort Co., North Carolina, USA TIME PERIOD: Pleistocene age (2,588,000 to 11,700 years ago) Data: Cyclocardia is a genus of molluscs in the family Carditidae. The related genus Vimentum is sometimes included here. Carditidae is a family of marine bivalve clams of the order Carditoida, which was long included in the Veneroida. They are the type taxon of the superfamily Carditoidea. Delimitation of this family versus the closely related Condylocardiidae is somewhat problematic.
