I didn't know they inhabited that area either.

But I do know a little about bison and yup, that vertebrae is the main shoulder portion that is found under the hump of the shoulder, it's why there is that long extension for the muscles that hold up their huge heads.

Haven't been there long enough to go through lithification process (turning to stone like a fossil which takes thousands of years) so what you have are those of something probably about as old as a couple - few hundred years. Cool find!
