Lost Bones #7 is now published!
In 1929, a nearly ten-pound mammoth molar was discovered west of New Ulm, Minnesota. It was donated to the University of Minnesota—and then effectively disappeared into nearly a century of museum transfers.

A Mighty Beast follows my seven-year search for the tooth, from a single entry in a 1945 paleontological survey to its eventual rediscovery in a museum collection.

🐘🦥🐪 Happy #MammothMonday - A new mammoth lineage that diverged from other North American species approximately 416,000 years ago was revealed in the journal Science. The specimens were discovered during airport construction near Mexico City.

Researchers were able to extract DNA from more than 80 mammoths, uncovering the new lineage (Clade 1G), indicating a split from their North American cousins between 416,000 and 307,000 years ago.

🐘 #MammothMonday 🐂🦥🐴🐪🐟🍃 These wonderful mammoth tusks are on display at the Vernal Utah Natural History Museum. They were discovered while digging a well in Craig, Colorado, in 1961 and recovered by paleontologist Ernest Untermann. The tusks belong to a Columbian mammoth and were found under 15 feet of gravel.

Its #MammothMonday Jim van Dijk has spent the last few months building the world's first reconstruction of a southern mammoth for the Museum Historyland Hellevoetsluis in Hellevoetsluis, Netherlands.

Not only is the sculpture just an awesome site but Dick “Sir Mammoth” Mol was a consultant on the project.

It’s #Minnesota #MammothMonday 🦣🐪🦥🦫🍃 The beautiful mammoth molar below was dredged from a gravel pit near Carver Minnesota.

The tooth is an upper left molar of a Woolly Mammoth ~11-12,000 years old and is on display at the Carver County Historical Society. Over the same summer in 2001, a second molar and a tusk fragment were also recovered at the same site.

It’s #MammothMonday 🦣🦥🐪 🍑 In 1846 a Scotsman, Charles Lyell, visited a canal being built near Darien, Georgia. His trip and the molar he returned to Britain with would mark the beginning of the story of North America’s Columbian mammoth holotype. The now-defunct 12-mile Brunswick-Altamaha Canal would connect the Turtle and Altamaha rivers in Eastern Georgia.

The holotype M3 or “Elephas columbi” NHMUK PV OR 40769 is now housed at the Natural History Museum of London

🦣🦥🐴🐪 It's #Minnesota #MammothMonday The tusk blow was found in 1975 approximately 30 ft. below the original soil surface in a glacial gravel deposit - a possible outwash from Des Moines lobe (Wisconsin glaciation), near Sterwerville MN

Stewartville is just Northwest of Minnesota’s “Driftless area” which had no glaciation during the last ice age.

The specimen is on display, with several others, at the History Center of Olmsted County. 🦬🍂

Southern Minnesota has a mad mix of glacial deposits overlaying Cenomanian shale, siltstone, sandstone, and limestone which were laid down by a Cretaceous seaway. 🌊 🐚
