Description from the seller

The Steppe Bison was the undisputed king of the Mammoth Steppe. Towering over modern bison with a massive shoulder hump and horns spanning up to two meters, it roamed the vast plains of Europe and Asia. This fossil fragment offers a tangible connection to the prehistoric wilderness of the Late Pleistocene.
