  5. It's #Minnesota #FossilFriday! 🐟πŸͺ🦣 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. πŸ¦«πŸ¦¬πŸƒ

    Now donated to the Science Museum of Minnesota.
