Name:
Ice Age Bison Jaw
Age: Pleistocene
Formation: Ice Age Glaciation
Location: Nebraska
Size: Jaw is about 15.7 inches tip to tip
Here is an extremely interesting fossil. This is the lower jaw of an Ice Age Bison from Nebraska. This jaw is very large, obviously from an adult animal. There are still two large molar teeth embedded in the jaw. The enamel of the teeth is in fine condition, and the cusps of the teeth are easily seen. The bluish white teeth contrast nicely with the brown bone. This is a wonderful example of a lower jawbone with teeth from this large Pleistocene mammal.
