Out of the Attic: Bison bone found near Cascade Landing between 150 and 12,000 years old

This object is a new acquisition for our collection, and we are unsure of exactly how old it really is.
According to the Iowa paleontologist’s office, the object is thought to be somewhere between 150 and 12,000 years old, and as found by a rather generous patron who brought it to us after she found it near Cascade Landing.
Iowa was very a very different place, as late as 150 years ago. In fact, 12,000 years ago (during the last ice age), Iowa looked more like Canada than the more familiar landscape that we know today. It was much colder, and was covered with forests dotted with pockets of prairie.
