While deer hunting in 1971 I found this prehistoric bison skull on the banks of the Niobrara River about 15 miles south of Merriman, NE. It had been washed out of the river by a late fall flood. I took it to Chadron State College, Chadron, NE and Larry Aganbrod, professor of archeology, dated it between 8,000 to 15,000 years old. The horn caps were purchased in 2006 from a store in Custer, SD. It is in excellent condition, and if you shake it hard enough you can still get sand out of it.

   Modern skulls from the harvesting of buffalo can be purchase for $75.00 to $200.00. Due to the ancient age of this skull, I am asking $300.00. Or you can make an offer by calling me at 314-308-5203.

   Here is what the buffalo skull and dancing stick look like on a wall. This was taken in my former office at Concordia Publishing House. Pictured with me is Art McClean, former classmate at St. John’s College, Winfield, KA.
