Bobby Rico Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 Just two updates first I finally made a stand for my tip of a tusk from a Straight Tusked elephant . Sorry if you have already seen this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Rico Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 A Bison horn not massive but a good size 13in. It has a label in side saying Maxey Peterborough 2/1/84. There not much Bison material found in the UK . I have research the location and I thought it was wrong . Until I found a little nearby museum that also has local Bison finds. This is quite rare in the UK Cheers Bobby Thank you all for looking . In the background a partial Mammoth tooth quite large found on the Norfolk Coast . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got really lucky with the bison horn. I purchased it thinking the location may have been wrong but I thought it was impressive looking piece and price was pretty good . After a little research I was pleased to find out that the location is correct making it a rare UK find. All the best Bobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
