  1. For #FossilFriday—dinosaurs headline the Minnesota State Fair, but an Ice Age predator is also on display!

    These 26,900-year-old Homotherium serum fossils from Tyson Spring Cave include a skullcap, shoulder blade and foreleg. Found beginning in 2008, they provided the first record of this scimitar-toothed cat in Minnesota and the Great Lakes region.

    See them through Sept. 7!
