The Pine County History Museum in Askov occupies an entire former high school, features its own café, and even houses a full-sized replica of the Wright brothers' airplane. The lone Bison occidentalis skull pictured has a 79cm horn core span. It was unearthed by the Alexander Construction near a creek in Pine County - May 1968. </p><p><a href="http://www.pinecountyhistoricalsociety.org" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pinecountyhistoricalsociety.or</span><span class="invisible">g</span></a></p><p><a href="https://medium.com/@dbrake40" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">medium.com/@dbrake40</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br>.<br>.<br><a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/Pleistocene" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Pleistocene</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/Palaeontology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Palaeontology</span></a> <a href="https://ecoevo.social/tags/CitizenScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CitizenScience</span></a></p>
