[Nhcoll-l] The first museum aurochs

[Jack Ashby]

Hi everyone
I'm trying to locate the world's first aurochs skeleton to be mounted for display. In our collection, we have a sub-fossil aurochs (Bos primigenius) skeleton that was mounted in 1873-1874, and the annual report for that year claims it was the first of the species to be articulated in the UK. So, I'm wondering whether anyone knows of examples in other countries that were mounted before that?
Any pointers would be very gratefully received.
Many thanks
Jack
