🐂 Happy #Minnesota #FossilFriday! 🦥🐴🐘🐪 These large upper bison molars — plus partial maxilla — are part of a 2024 donation to the Melrose Area Museum. The collection, contributed by a museum board member, also includes horn cores, mandibles, individual teeth, and other Ice Age materials.
If you’re into Midwest deep time stories, follow along and explore the full project in my bio.

📡 Italian citizen-science network CARMELo (16 SDR receivers tuned to GRAVES 143.050 MHz) published its April 2026 report. Lyrids were weak this year, but the spectacular fireball over the Tyrrhenian Sea on April 23 (mag −13, 350 IMO reports) left 21 radio echoes within 15 seconds. Grass-roots radio astronomy at its best. 📅 May 7, 2026

This year's theme for #NationalHeritageWeek (all 32 counties) is "Heritage at Risk". If anyone feels like doing a little workshop about mapping place names, #benchmarks, sewer vents, jostle stones or anything else heritage and at risk, it would be much appreciated. I'll certainly do one about field names in my local library - will share details asap.

And speaking of discoveries, PRONI have added 8 of the potential monuments I discovered while mapping buildings in Northern Ireland to their database as well. The links to them on their website don't work, but the numbers are DOW017:068, DOW001:066, DOW009:116, DOW021:082, DOW020:119, DOW028:079, DOW030:049 and DOW044:072 .

🐴🐘🐪 This tooth survived the end of the Ice Age in a gravel pit. 🦷
Found 5 miles east of Montevideo, this lower horse molar may have belonged to one of the last Equus roaming Minnesota before their disappearance from North America. It’s tooth 10 in the 12 specimen project tracing Minnesota’s Ice Age horses.
Follow the whole 12 tooth journey in Lost Bones #4 thru the link in my bio.
