  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.

  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?

  16. 🐴 #LostBones #FossilFriday — Molar (SMM P77.20.1), specimen 8 of 12, was recovered in 1976 — the same year the U.S. celebrated its Bicentennial. This much older story emerged from the landscape in St. Cloud, Minnesota, when P. Lansing collected this beautiful upper horse molar near Highway 23.

    Long before modern roads and cities, horses may have roamed Ice Age Minnesota, grazing across open prairie while mammoths and giant bison shared the region.

  21. #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.

  26. Happy #LostBones #FossilFriday! 🐴🦣🐂🦥🍃🐪🐟 Was on the road this week with @dr_crocogator to retrieve specimen #4! This beauty of a horse molar (right p2) is from Wright County, Minnesota.

    It was found on the shore of Olson’s Point on Buffalo Lake in 1976 and was currently housed at the Wright County Historical Society in Buffalo.

  31. 🐴 #LostBones #FossilFriday — Twelve horse teeth from across Minnesota are headed for radiocarbon dating.

    This pristine specimen #3 comes from Flower Valley near Red Wing. It was found by Shari Albers when she was ten, discovered as her dad worked a field.

  36. 🐴 #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?
