Hi there, @shaun-rhoads this is a very cool find, but it does not appear to be a fossil!
@mackenzie-ross-2 I know it’s not really a fossil but it does belong to an animal that’s been gone for over 200 years and is extinct
extinct is when a whole animal species dies out. like the dinosaurs went extinct. I highly doubt though that that is 200 years old
@smudge-smith the Indians and commercial hunting lead to the Buffalo becoming extinct back in the early 1900s. there was only 540 some odd buffalo still alive in 1889. so about 150 years
oh OK now I get it thanks
@shaun-rhoads and @smudge-smith I know I’m 11 months late, but the North American Buffalo, or bison, isn’t extinct. There are thousands that live in Yellowstone Park alone.
@a-trilobite well they nearly went extinct back then and they’re sure s*** ain’t any in Arkansas and that’s where that was found
