#pleistocene — Public Fediverse posts

Anthropology.net: The Bag Before the Bowl: Pleistocene Origins of Mobile Container Technology. “The new database, published in the Journal of Anthropological Archaeology,1 documents 739 Pleistocene mobile containers drawn from 210 sites across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas.”

🐂 Happy #Minnesota #FossilFriday! 🦥🐴🐘🐪 These large upper bison molars — plus partial maxilla — are part of a 2024 donation to the Melrose Area Museum. The collection, contributed by a museum board member, also includes horn cores, mandibles, individual teeth, and other Ice Age materials.

If you’re into Midwest deep time stories, follow along and explore the full project in my bio.

🐴🐘🐪 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.

To place these findings in a broader context, the newly reported assemblages were analyzed together with other Pleistocene assemblages across the IWP region (Indo-West #Pacific). Only weak geographic and temporal separation was detected, suggesting a relatively #cosmopolitan #community composition in #subtropical waters during the #Pleistocene, likely reflecting low temperature variability despite glacial–interglacial cycles.

🦥🐴🐘🐪 #FossilFriday — A lower horse molar (SMM P2025.8.7) from Olmsted County is specimen 9 of 12 headed for radiocarbon dating.

Olmsted County has produced multiple Ice Age finds over the years, including several mammoth tusks and both mammoth and mastodon teeth from county gravel deposits—many of which I’ve posted about previously.

#FossilFriday #MnMuseum highlight: Carver County Historical Society. Carver County’s past is on display, anchored by a mammoth molar amid exhibits on Indigenous history, agriculture, and military service.

The molar was found in 2000 at the W. Mueller & Sons gravel pit in Chaska, when Mori Willemsen’s clamshell dredge—dropping through 100 feet of water—hauled up a proboscidean tooth.
