Abstract
Abstract - The fossil musk ox Bootherium brazosis Hesse 1942 was distinguished as a species largely on the basis of spurious characters founded upon the misorientation of the type specimen. Correct orientation reveals that B. brazosis is conspecific with and a junior synonym of B. sargenti Gidley 1908.
