File talk:Bison skull pile-restored.jpg

I recognize this photo has being from the national archives and Library of Canada, so even though it is PD, you should try and dig up the accession number Fawcett5 01:47, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It says 'head' in the description - does it mean herd, I don't get how that sentence makes sense.

"Head" is a unit of counting livestock as in, "50 head of cattle." The caption could have read, "a few hundred individual bison." A2Z 20:19, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

size[edit]

it's very small for a featured picture. --Ysangkok 20:46, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sometimes that's all we have got with historic pictures. But content beats size every time. If you are lucky and dig around a bit with the clues given in the source link, you can sometimes find a archive with a larger version that you could upload (often the link to the big archived raw Tiff, isn't as obvious as the jpeg that was originally uploaded). -- Solipsist 23:32, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I found a high-res version here: http://imgur.com/r/pics/0Q2OL — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xiaoranz (talk • contribs) 16:34, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Better scan, smaller resolution[edit]

The photograph seems to not be scanned very well, at least compared to another scan I found here and I've upload to the commons here: Buffalo_skulls.jpg. Hartmanga (talk) 14:40, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Much better copy also on Wikimedia[edit]

There is a much better version of this file also on Wikimedia here. Does this one still need to exist? B.Rossow · talk 18:24, 26 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
