It’s #Minnesota #FossilFriday! 🦥🐃 🐘 🐴🐪🐟🍃There are no documented Pleistocene-age horse specimens in Minnesota. The small size of this m3 tooth has me hopeful. It's about 25mm in length across the crown.

Found by a friend on a river gravel bar it will be donated to the Science Museum of Minnesota for further study.

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. 🦣

It's #Minnesota #FossilFriday! 🐟🐪🦣 Xiphactinus or Ichthyodectes, that is the question. This vertebra was found on a gravel bar in Southern Minnesota by a friend.

Xiphactinus and the smaller Ichthyodectes were 3-6 meter fish that swam the Cretaceous Western Interior Seaway which covered the central United States for over 40 million years. 🦫🦬🍃

Now donated to the Science Museum of Minnesota.

Happy #Minnesota #FossilFriday! 🦬🍃🦣🐪🦥 Here is a beefy Bison bison humerus found last fall by a friend of mine in Southern Minnesota. It was found eroding out of the side of a small tributary about 4 feet below the soil surface – just downhill from a tee box on a local golf course. ⛳

It has since been donated to the Science Museum of Minnesota for further study.

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. 🦣🦥🐴🐪🦬🍃
