Steppe wisent - Fossil mandible bone - Bison priscus - 48 cm

A very impressive fossil consisting of a complete mandible (lower jaw) of the steppe bison, Bison priscus, one of the most characteristic large grazers of the Pleistocene.
The mandible is enormous and very robust. This imposing bovine-like creature crossed the mammoth steppes of Europe and Asia during the last Ice Age, together with relatives such as the woolly mammoth and the woolly rhinoceros.
The mandible shows a nicely preserved row of teeth with a clearly visible occlusal pattern, and the characteristic robust shape of the ramus and coronoid process is clearly recognizable.
The fossil is mineralized and shows the typical dark brown to ochre coloration that is characteristic of bone material from this period. The surface has been preserved with Paraloid B-72, which helps bring out the details of the dentition and bone structure even more.
A beautiful object for the serious collector of Pleistocene megafauna, suitable as a study specimen or as a striking decorative element in a collection.
Includes an exclusive black stand.
