#lostbones for #FossilFriday! 🐂🦥🐴🐘🐪🐟

Here is a nice collection of bison bones from the West Hennepin History Center in Long Lake Minnesota.

The collection was found during road work near Hgwy(s) 169 & 494 in Southern Hennepin County.

Happy #Minnesota #FossilFriday! 🦬🐪🦣🦥🦫🍃 What is the most common Bison bison specimen found in river gravels besides teeth in Southern Minnesota? It's usually a metacarpal or a metatarsal.

These stout solid bones survive well within a river's fluvial processes. Here are a few example specimens.🦴
