So, just when did the ancient long horn bison become short horn and do we have anything showing a shortening of the horns over the millenniums.
Do the European bison show such changes?

Phosphate mining in central Florida always brings up sharks teeth of various sizes. Occasionally, it would cough up some mastodon parts.

Just yesterday a research paper was released about a site near Tallahassee, in that case a water filled sinkhole.
They found bison and mastodon bones that dated to 14,500 and showed clear signs of human butchering.
I grew up in Florida, and I can't recall ever being taught that large grazing animals once roamed the state. In fact, modern day Florida really has nothing that resembles large dry ground grasslands, so it's hard to understand what a bison could have survived on, especially in the Vero Beach area.
The cool thing about the Tallahassee site is that the 14,500 year date plays havoc with the consensus idea that Clovis people were the first to inhabit the Lower 48

——They were approximately 8 feet tall, 15 feet long and weighed close to 3,500 pounds...——
What a massive animal...
Imagine a beast as tall as the standard height of a room in a standard built home...

Please add me to your “ping” list. Here in So. Dak., geologists and archeologists have found fossils of tropical ferns, fauna, sea life and and other prehistoric critters. Results of an ancient ice age.

Glad I could help! I couldn’t recall her name a few days ago, either, and I think it’s because she was so ugly, it shocked my brain to think of her. GAH!
