MkVl-9, Old Crow River Locality CRH-11: This is one of the high bluffs along Old Crow River, and fossils can be found eroding from its face and being transported downstream along its base. In addition, MkVl-9A is a gully behind the bluff contains the slumped remains of many individual Bison crassicornis that perished in the closing millennia of the Wisconsinan.
