Prehistoric BISON TOOTH (found in north texas creek bed)

This prehistoric bison tooth was found in a North Texas creek bed, making it a unique and fascinating collectible fossil. Bison first arrived in North America from Asia between 135,000 and 195,000 years ago. The ancestors of modern bison crossed the Bering Land Bridge, which connected Asia and North America during the Pleistocene Epoch. The first bison in North America rapidly differentiated into new species, including the long-horned bison, which had horns that could measure up to 9 feet from tip to tip. The modern American Bison appears in the fossil record about 5,000 years ago. This piece offers a glimpse into the ancient past, showcasing the impressive size and structure of a bison tooth from a bygone era. A must-have for any fossil enthusiast or collector interested in North American prehistory.

The bison population began a slow decline in the Late Holocene, and by the late 19th century, they were near extinction.
