Large mammal vertebra

This is about the most complete vert that I’ve found. I’m horrible at identifying vertebrae, but I’m going to stick my neck out (pun intended) and suggest that this is a bison cervical vert. Found on the Brazos River in SE Texas

Nice, Steppe Bison.   I also found exactly same size and shape vertebrae in North Texas Pleistocene layer couple of years ago.

Yep, I would say bison also! That size, and if heavily mineralized might go with your Latifrons horn core. Looks like you're still killing it!
