  1. 🐴🐘🐪 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.

  6. 🦥🐴🐘🐪 #FossilFriday — A lower horse molar (SMM P2025.8.7) from Olmsted County is specimen 9 of 12 headed for radiocarbon dating.

    Olmsted County has produced multiple Ice Age finds over the years, including several mammoth tusks and both mammoth and mastodon teeth from county gravel deposits—many of which I’ve posted about previously.

  11. Horses vanished from North America ~10,000 years ago. So why are these fossilized teeth turning up across the Midwest

    A friend found the infamous “black tooth” back in 2018 — and now we’re waiting for the radiocarbon dates. No dates have previously been documented!

    Will they point to the Ice Age, or something pre‑European contact? 💬 Share your thoughts — what do you think the dates will reveal?

  23. 🐴 #FossilFriday — Horse molar (SMM P2020.7.34)❤️‍🔥. Specimen 7 of 12 for radiocarbon dating — another incredible Ice Age find from my good friend Bill in 2018 — New Ulm, Minnesota.

    Every one of these teeth and bones helps us answer a bigger question: Were Ice Age horses still roaming Minnesota later than we thought?

  28. #LostBones #FossilFriday #RadioCarbonDating 🐂🦥🐴🐘🐪In June 1921, workers removing the overburden at the Sagamore Mine near Riverton, Minnesota uncovered a peat layer ~eight feet below the surface that held a rich Pleistocene bone bed. Among the material recovered from this layer were a horse molar (specimen #6) and an horse incisor, found alongside other late‑Quaternary remains within the same sedimentary zone.

  39. 🐴 #LostBones 🐘🦥🐪 For #FossilFriday, a new series: 12 horse teeth from across Minnesota, each one headed for radiocarbon dating to finally pin down when these animals moved across the state’s post glacial landscape.

    Specimen #1 comes from a private collection near Little Sauk, Minnesota — a single horse tooth pulled from a skull found in the black marl of the Sauk River.

    How do they fit into the lives or paleo-Minnesotans?

    The original specimen—now in a private collection—is about 33cm (13 in) tall at the shoulder. It is one of two known specimens from the Fossil Butte Member at Fossil Butte National Monument, Wyoming.

    Found by a friend on a river gravel bar it will be donated to the Science Museum of Minnesota for further study.
