"'The Bison of Norgervaart' (NL). Discovered T. Vermaning 1972. Drawing P. Dijkstra. "The bison is sculpted in steep retouche all around the circumference of an ancient frostsplit slice of bryozoic Scandinavian flint. The worn dark brown cortex has been used to indicate the hairy frontal parts, whereas the belly has an orange-ochre glossy patina whichwas already there before the retouch. It is most probably attributable to a Gravettian Upper Palaeolithic tradition with "Font Robert" tanged points, that was discovered by Vermaning in the immediate vicinity. On the boulderclay plateau in the provice of Drenthe; Northern Netherlands."
