Beskrivelse
Fossil remains of several Bovidae species were collected from three museums in South Africa for ancient DNA analysis. A total of 324 unique specimens were collected, of which 323 are georeferenced. The majority (320) were collected from the Iziko Museums of South Africa's Archaeology Collection in Cape Town, while three were collected from the National Museum Bloemfontein's Florisbad Quaternary Research Collection, and one was collected from the Ditsong National Museum of Natural History's Archaeozoology Collection in Pretoria. As the collections had not yet been digitized by the museums, permission was obtained by Deon de Jager to publish the occurences on GBIF on behalf of the museums.
