Bison bones found on the mudflats off East Mersea. They were found by Chris Nower and Julie Shead, and identified by Steve Boreham of the University of Cambridge. He confirmed the bison bones as bing about 120 years old. The ribs, skull, vertebrae, jawbone, femur and shoulder-blade are some of the recognisable bones.
The bones are on display in Mersea Museum 2019 Summer Exhibition.
