🐂#LostBones #FossilFriday🦥🐴🐘🐪🐟🍃This huge bison skull, from the Melrose Area Historical Society collection, is the broadest I have come across, with a cranial width (between horn cores and orbits) of 32.5 cm. It was found in a local farmer's field after a rainstorm in 2010.

The Des Moines and Superior glacial lobes heavily influenced the geology south of Melrose.
