  6. 🦌#LostBones #FossilFriday πŸ¦ŒπŸ‚πŸ¦₯🐴🐘πŸͺπŸŸπŸƒ You can still find remnants of elk (Cervus canadensis) in Minnesota. They were common, in the thousands, up until the 1800s.
    The Ojibwe called them omashkooz, and the Dakota called them heȟÑka.

    This gorgeous antler specimen was found near Motley, Minnesota, in 1972 and has been housed for the past 50 years at SCSU in St. Cloud.
