Comments
DgPe-VP, Del Bonita: An amateur paleontologist's collection contained a variety of bison crania ranging "from small ones to one comparable in size with ~Bison priscus<. The dated material included large but immature horn cores, only tentatively identified as occidentalis" (Wilson, 1978: 18).
