Horse jaw bone

Horse jaw bone

An ancient horse jaw from a mud flow of a collapsed slope near Midway Lake, on the Peel Plateau, in the Fort McPherson area. It was recovered by Bernard Lauriol of the University of Ottawa in 2010. North American horses died out 12,000 years ago but not before they migrated to Eurasia.
