Happy #fossilfriday. I’ve previously posted about the two most documented terrestrial mammal skeletal elements in the county museums I’ve worked with: #1 (teeth) and #2 (mandibles). Today, we’re moving on to number #3—rib bones. Across nearly thirty museums to date, I’ve come across 32 ribs.
Curious about some of my more surprising finds? Check out the link in my profile to explore my writing spaces on Substack or Medium.

🐂 #LostBones #FossilFriday 🐘🦥🐴🐪I've previously posted about the early '90s Cherney bison site near Ham Lake, MN, where Pat Cherney recovered well over 100 bison skulls, and many other bones.
In June 2024, the Southern Minnesota Museum of Natural History in Blue Earth, MN, acquired the Cherney collection.
The museum is currently raising funds to assemble a full skeleton from the site for an upcoming exhibit.

It’s a #lostbones #FossilFriday 🐘 🦥🐴🐪🐃 🐟 This mammoth molar from Cannon Falls #Minnesota was found in 1962 ~40 ft below the surface in the Wacouta gravel pit.
It is on display, with several other #Pleictocene proboscidean specimens, at the Goodhue County Historical Society.
