Mini North American Animals Figurine Playset (Toymany)

Before I start this Blogpost, I must again thank @Kenc and the folks at Toymany for donating this review sample. It is very much appreciated. As with other Toymany set reviews, this is a general overview to introduce the animal toy community to the set and does not prevent others from doing more in-depth reviews of individual figures. I will be covering the animals based on family-level (or […]

#lostbones #FossilFriday 🐂🦥🐴🐪🐟🍃 In late summer 1988, a Granite Falls, MN couple excavating a refuse pit found a ~8000 year-old bison bone bed on their land. Finding a projectile point in the material led to three seasons of fieldwork, uncovering additional points, flakes, and tools, including a stone biface found in situ with the bison remains.

Some of these bones are now displayed at the Yellow Medicine County Historical Society.

#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?

🦌#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.

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.
