#TatonkaTuesday - Finally getting around to writing a detailed #LostBones Substack about the Melrose Minnesota site - a peat deposit uncovered during MN I-94's construction in 1967.
The largest skull from the site (left) is SMM P67.1.33. At 89.5 cm (35.24 inches) across its horn cores. In life the span could have been nearly 45 inches with its outer sheaths
Blog post coming soon! If you know of other sites - comment!

🦬🐘🦥🐪 For #FossilFriday Highway crews in the 1960s uncovered Ice Age megafauna while building Interstate 94 in central Minnesota. Among the finds were the tibia bones of multiple bison — the fifth most common veribrate mammal element I’ve documented in collections across the Midwest. Each bone carries data from ancient herds roaming post-glacial midwestern landscapes.
