    The full bison build is officially taking shape at the Southern Minnesota Museum of Natural History. The Cherney site’s bones are finally moving from crates into museum care. Vertebra by vertebra, limb by limb, a Pleistocene giant from Coon Rapids, is rising again in Blue Earth.

    Huge thanks to Jim Pollard and Walter Varcoe for the interview and for letting me see part of the mounting process in action. 🦏

  2. Happy #LostBones #FossilFriday! πŸ΄πŸ¦£πŸ‚πŸ¦₯πŸƒπŸͺ🐟 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.

  7. #goodhuecountyhistory #lostbones #citizenscience #fossilfriday #mnmuseums - The Goodhue County Historical Society tops my list. Not only do they feature some of my favorite megafauna specimensβ€”like bison, mammoth, and giant beaverβ€”but they also offer a wide array of historical, archaeological, and regional displays that highlight the rich cultural and natural heritage of the Red Wing area.
