A fossilized tooth of a Pleistocene aged bison, or Bison sp. from the Texas City Dike in Galveston County, Texas, United States. The presence of a stylid or isolated ridge in the center of the tooth differentiates bison (and cows) from camels and llamas. This specimen was found in the 1970s and comes from the old collection of the late George E. Wolf of Texas, United States.
