Fossil muskoxen of Ohio
Two species of muskoxen have been found as fossils in Ohio's Pleistocene deposits, the extinct Symbos cavifrons and the extant Ovibos moschatus. Symbos currently is represented by six specimens, and Ovibos, by two; all specimens are brain-cases. One of the Ovibos was found in Hamilton County, O...
