Fossil Bison antiquus Bones Right Front Leg Pleistocene Ice Age Buffalo

Fossil Bison antiquus bones - Right Front 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. Although they have minor cracks and erosion, they are solid.

The fifteen bones included in this composite leg are: humerus (13.7"), fused radius (12.7") & ulna (16.0"), scapula (19.6"), five carpals (radial, intermediate, ulnar, fused 2nd & 3rd, and fourth), metacarpal (8.2), and a complete set of six phalanges. When assembled in its proper orientation, it stands approximately 60-inches tall. 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. The five included carpals have been tacked together with hot glue. Otherwise, they can be separated later by warming them a bit or using acetone to soften the glue. I'm offering matching right & left rear legs in separate auctions.
