Happy ! 🐴🦬🦣 More on the horse of course. The next year of the horse isn't until 2026 but the last couple of years were great for finding horse specimens for me and a fellow amateur fossil hunter in Southern Minnesota.

These finds are all from riverbed gravel deposits in Southern Minnesota. The area has a mix of glacial sediments crossing over Cenomanian siltstone, sandstone, and limestone. 🦥🐪🦴

Happy !🦬🍃🦣🐪🦣 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.

🐴 Happy ! The next year of the horse isn't until 2026 but the last couple of years have uncovered many horse specimens for me and a fellow fossil hunter. Horse specimens for us are second only to Bison bison finds. One of these teeth, if verified, will be the first Pleistocene horse documented in Minnesota! , , 🦬🦣🦥🐪
