Fossilised Steppe wisent bones (Bison priscus) from the Late Pleistocene, three specimens (a humerus and two metacarpals) in natural condition, desalted during treatment, found in the North Sea.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Fossil bones of the steppe wisent - Bison priscus
3 bones of the Bison: 2 x a metacarpal (from the foreleg).
1 x Humerus (upper arm bone)
It is a lower part of the bone.
The steppe wisent (Bison priscus) is an extinct bovine species.
The steppe wisent was much larger than the current wisents and bison. The bulls had a shoulder height of about 2.20 meters and weighed nearly 1,500 kilograms.
It will also be called The Steppe Bison.
After the last ice age, the steppe wisent, mammoth, and woolly rhinoceros disappeared permanently.
These bones are desalted; everyone preserves them in their own way. I am happy to leave that to the next owner.
Doggerland no longer exists, but traces of it can still be found on the beaches of the North Sea. It is not uncommon for walkers, enthusiasts, and researchers to find something special there.
So, wondrous treasures like an Ace vertebra of a Steppe viper. Also, bones are brought to the surface in spouted sand dunes and in fishing nets, just as in Summer 2024.
