Fossil Bison antiquus Bones Left Rear Leg Pleistocene Ice Age Buffalo
Fossil Bison antiquus bones - Left Rear Leg from the Pleistocene of Southeastern Nebraska. This leg is a composite made up of dark brown bones from several different individuals. The bones were closely matched according to size and color. The bones are in their original condition and have not been repaired or coated with sealant. Although they have minor cracks and erosion, they are solid. The thirteen bones included in this composite leg are: femur (15.2"), patella, tibia (14.5"), astragulus a. Talus, calcaneus, the fused central & 4th tarsal, metatarsal (10.2), and a complete set of six phalanges.
When assembled in its proper orientation, it stands approximately 46-inches high. Although it's difficult to say with certainty which species these bones came from, the bones were chosen to match the median sizes for a female Bison antiquus occidentalis as defined by McDonald's (1981) biometric values. These bones were legally collected on private land in southeast Nebraska with permission of the land owners. I'm offering a matching right rear leg and a matching right front leg in separate auctions. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Rocks, Fossils & Minerals\Fossils\Vertebrates\Mammals".
