  6. 🐴 #LostBones #FossilFriday 🐟🐘🦥🐪 In the summer of 2012, students from the Geology Department at Gustavus Adolphus College collected over 800 bones on the Des Moines River near Jackson, Minnesota.

    This crunchy but beautiful left horse femur was part of the project and is now housed at the Jackson County Historical Society in Lakefield.

    These two skulls were discovered along with 52 additional bones—ribs, femurs, tibiae, vertebrae, and various fragments near a peat bog in Wabasha County, #Minnesota.

    Peat is anoxic, preserving ancient remains very well. It's often speculated that bison were driven into bogs while being hunted, but in many cases, no signs of butchery or human activity are found.

  12. #LostBones #FossilFriday 🐂 Five bison species are said to have roamed North America: The Eurasian Bison priscus adapted into Bison latifrons, which downsized into Bison antiquus. Later, Bison occidentalis emerged in the Late Pleistocene, leading to today’s Bison bison. Are they all distinct, or was it a gradual shift?

  17. 🦌#Minnesota #FossilFriday 🐂🦥🐴🐘🐪🐟🍃Remnants of deer and bison are common along many Minnesota rivers. Teeth, metacarpals, metatarsals, and some long bones withstand the erosive forces of rivers particularly well.

    These specimens were all found during a single kayak trip this field season, along just a two-mile stretch of river in southern Minnesota.

  27. It's #LostBones #FossilFriday!🐂🦥🐴🐘🐪🐟🍃 Bison hyoid bones are quite rare in the collections I have reviewed. This pair is part of a larger assemblage donated in 2022, including elements from both juvenile and adults.

    The bones were all recovered in Wolcott Township by an independent researcher and are currently housed at the Rice County Historical Society in Faribault Minnesota.

  32. 🐌It’s #Minnesota #FossilFriday🐂🦥🐴🐪🐟🍃 Believe it or not, these snail, clam, fish and ammonite fossils from the Cretaceous period are from Minnesota!

    Minnesota’s Iron Range lies below what is know as the Coleraine Formation, the 85 to 95-million-year-old shoreline of the Western Interior Seaway, which crossed the North American for nearly 100 million years.

  33. 🐘#LostBones #FossilFriday🐂🦥🐴🐪🐟🍃 This Mastodon tooth, from an unknown donor, arrived at the History Center of Olmsted County in 2012. It is displayed alongside a Mastodon tusk from a quarry in High Forest Township, also of Olmsted County.

    So far, this tooth is one of only two found in Southern Minnesota county collections that I have come across during my #LostBones research.

  44. 🐘 #MammothMonday 🐂🦥🐴🐪🐟🍃 These wonderful mammoth tusks are on display at the Vernal Utah Natural History Museum. They were discovered while digging a well in Craig, Colorado, in 1961 and recovered by paleontologist Ernest Untermann. The tusks belong to a Columbian mammoth and were found under 15 feet of gravel.
