  5. 🐴 #LostBones #FossilFriday 🐟🐘πŸ¦₯πŸͺ 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 bonesβ€”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.

  13. #LostBones #FossilFriday πŸ‚ 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 πŸ‚πŸ¦₯🐴🐘πŸͺπŸŸπŸƒRemnants 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.
