  1. 🐂#LostBones 🦥🐴🐘🐪 Near Little Sauk, Minnesota, a local naturalist began finding bison bones in the thick marl at the bottom of a river on his property. So, as one does, he started wading in neck-deep water—feeling for bones with his feet!

    This is the fourth such Minnesota skeleton I’ve written about here. If you know of others, or have your own skeleton haunting a basement or garage this Halloween #FossilFriday, I’d love to hear the tale!

  21. #lostbones #FossilFriday 🐂🦥🐴🐪🐟🍃 In late summer 1988, a Granite Falls, MN couple excavating a refuse pit found a ~8000 year-old bison bone bed on their land. Finding a projectile point in the material led to three seasons of fieldwork, uncovering additional points, flakes, and tools, including a stone biface found in situ with the bison remains.

    Some of these bones are now displayed at the Yellow Medicine County Historical Society.

  26. #LostBones #FossilFriday 🐂 Five bison species are said to have roamed North America: The Eurasian Bison priscus adapted into Bison latifrons, which downsized into Bison antiquus. Later, Bison occidentalis emerged in the Late Pleistocene, leading to today’s Bison bison. Are they all distinct, or was it a gradual shift?

  31. 🦌#Minnesota #FossilFriday 🐂🦥🐴🐘🐪🐟🍃Remnants of deer and bison are common along many Minnesota rivers. Teeth, metacarpals, metatarsals, and some long bones withstand the erosive forces of rivers particularly well.

    These specimens were all found during a single kayak trip this field season, along just a two-mile stretch of river in southern Minnesota.

  36. It's #LostBones #FossilFriday!🐂🦥🐴🐘🐪🐟🍃 Bison hyoid bones are quite rare in the collections I have reviewed. This pair is part of a larger assemblage donated in 2022, including elements from both juvenile and adults.

    The bones were all recovered in Wolcott Township by an independent researcher and are currently housed at the Rice County Historical Society in Faribault Minnesota.
