oh good, @KateShaw just released an episode on trees, megafauna, and seed dispersal, featuring the weird Kentucky "Coffee" tree.

#happyhumpday Garden County, Nebraska, has a rich paleontological history. The county’s Broadwater Formation dates back to the Pliocene, and includes the Lisco Camel Quarry which has yielded the extinct genus Camelops from the Pleistocene epoch. Morrill Hall at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln features a display of a full Camelops skeleton. The museum also houses the University of Nebraska Elephant Hall

#lostbones #FossilFriday 🐂🦥🐴🐪🐟Back in Northfield, Minnesota today and excited to work with the Science Museum of Minnesota for some photogrammetry of the mastodon tooth found in 1918 by Leslie Shaw! 🐘🦷
Fun fact: The museum is the First National Bank building, famously tied to the James-Younger gang's attempted robbery in September 1876 and holds the ear of one of the robbers!

#lostbones for #FossilFriday! 🐂🦥🐴🐘🐪🐟🍃 This partial mastodon pelvis was recently donated to the Brown County Historical Society in New Ulm, MN. It was found in 1987 in a gravel pit within the city limits. New Ulm borders the western bank of the glacial River Warren’s river valley, which now contains the Minnesota River.

It’s a #lostbones #FossilFriday! 🐂🦥🐴🐘🐪🐟 This remarkable mammoth 🦷 has an even more remarkable story! Housed at the Interstate Park Ice Age Interpretive Center in Taylors Falls, WI - the tooth originated in #Minnesota.
It was discovered in 1987 by a heavy equipment operator excavating gravel from a Gray Cloud Island gravel deposit ~125 feet below the original surface!

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.

#Testosterone in tusks: #Hormones in #mammoth #fossils excite #paleontologists
There’s a lot we can correlate #hormone levels with, because #proboscidean tusks record the life of that animal. Its rings record days and years of growth, for example, seasons in which it experienced famine or abundance, from when it was born to when it died. So if further information, such as additional hormones, can be detected, this opens up a new window into the lives of #extinct #species

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.

Missing #Mammoth! 🦣🐪🦥🦬🦫 The New Ulm, MN mammoth tusk is missing! If you are wondering where it went – it’s back at the Science Museum of Minnesota where it is being fitted for a new display case!
The Brown County Historical Society is working with the museum’s exhibit services team to create a case that will keep the tusk safe and stable for generations to come. 🦣

🦣🦥🐴🐪🦬🍃 Happy #MastodonMonday! Here is an interesting article on the discovery of Nova Scotia's first recorded mastodon. The location, a cut bank along the bed of Cape Breton’s winding Middle River, makes a beautiful scene - a glacial geologist’s dream. 😉

It's #Minnesota #MammothMonday. 🦣🦷 More Southern Minnesota proboscideans! - see my previous #MammothMonday posts. Here's a partial tooth found in 2019 by a friend. It was stuck in the muddy river bottom along a cut bank. Surprisingly not fully tumbled apart - the rest of the animal could be close! Donated to the #sciencemuseumofmn. 🦣🦥🐴🐪🦬🍃

I teach courses in #eighteenthcentury #literature, #bookhistory, #earlymodern #womenswriting, and #SFF.
