Несмотря на многочисленность костных остатков этого вида и давнюю историю исследования, до конца не изучены особенности вымирания степных бизонов в конце плейстоцена и замены их современными формами американского бизона (Bison bison) и европейского зубра (Bison bonasus). Систематика ископаемых бизонов до сих пор спорна и не разработана окончательно. В данной статье приведены результаты исследования редкого по сохранности черепа ископаемого бизона, найденного в Верхоянском районе (Якутия). Этот череп сравнивался по морфологическим и остеометрическим признакам с другими черепами бизонов из коллекций отдела изучения мамонтовой фауны АН РС (Я) и Музея мамонта СВФУ, найденными в разное время и на разных местонахождениях в верхнеплейстоценовых отложениях, а также с черепами современных американских бизонов Bison bison из коллекции Зоологического музея Московского государственного университета им. М.В. Ломоносова. Даны описания и стандартные морфометрические показатели черепов и рогов бизонов, снятые с использованием методик промеров Скиннера и Кайзена. Анализ имеющихся данных показал, что черепа Bison priscus из позднеплейстоценовых отложений Якутии по большинству параметров соответствуют максимальным размерам современного американского бизона Bison bison или крупнее последнего. Рога же бизонов из позднего плейстоцена превышают по размерам рога современных бизонов в 1,5–2 раза и сопоставимы с таковыми среднеплейстоценового длиннорогого бизона B. p. crassicornis Richardson (=longicornis). Подобная диспропорция в размерах черепа и рогов у позднеплейстоценового бизона, по-видимому, обусловлена обитанием их в открытых ландшафтах арктической степи. Морфологическое своеобразие степного бизона позднего плейстоцена Якутии представляет интерес для дальнейших исследований, так как он может быть выделен в самостоятельный таксон (подвид), что имеет принципиальное значение для региональной палеонтологии и стратиграфии.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The steppe bison (Bison priscus) is one of the most widespread and numerous representatives of the mammoth fauna. However, the features of the extinction of steppe bison at the end of the Pleistocene and their replacement by modern forms of the American bison (Bison bison) and European bison (Bison bonasus) have not yet been fully studied. Thus, complete skulls of fossil steppe bison are of great interest for studies on taxonomy and kinship relations in the genus Bison. This article presents the results of a study of the ﬁnely preserved skull of a fossil bison found in the Verkhoyansk district (Yakutia). This skull was compared by its morphological and osteometric features with other bison skulls, which were found at diﬀerent times and locations in Upper Pleistocene deposits, as well as with the skulls of modern American bison Bison bison from the collection of the Zoological Museum of the Lomonosov Moscow State University. Standard morphometric indicators of bison skulls and horns were obtained using the Skinner and Kaisen measurement methods. Analysis showed that skulls of Bison priscus from Late Pleistocene sediments of Yakutia, according to most parameters, correspond to the maximum size of modern American bison Bison bison or even larger than the latter. The horns of bison from the Late Pleistocene are 1.5–2 times larger in size than the horns of modern bison and are comparable to those of the Middle Pleistocene long-horned bison B. p. crassicornis Richardson (=longicornis). The disproportion in the size of the skull and horns of the Late Pleistocene bison is due to their habitat in the open landscapes of the Arctic steppe. The morphological uniqueness of the steppe bison of the Late Pleistocene in Yakutia has prospects for further research, because it deserves to be identiﬁed as an independent taxon (subspecies), which is relevant for regional paleontology and stratigraphy.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>степной бизон</kwd><kwd>мамонтовая фауна</kwd><kwd>морфологические особенности</kwd><kwd>плейстоцен</kwd><kwd>арктическая степь</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>steppe bison</kwd><kwd>Mammoth fauna</kwd><kwd>morphological features</kwd><kwd>Pleistocene</kwd><kwd>Arctic steppe</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено за счет гранта Российского научного фонда № 23-24-00569, https://rscf.ru/project/23-24-00569.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This study was supported by the Russian Science Foundation (grant No. 23-24-00569, https://rscf.ru/project/ 23-24-00569).</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Benecke N.
