For #FossilFriday - another rare Midwest specimen! This Cervalces scotti partial skullcap and antler beam marks the first stag-moose specimen found in Minnesota.
Recovered in 2008 from Tyson Spring Cave the find, along with a Homothereium skullcap, was later identified by Chris Widga and colleagues, and published in Boreas (Widga et al., 2012), expanding the Ice Age megafauna taxa in the Great Lakes region.
