🐘🦥 For #FossilFriday: an account of a mammoth mystery. This is the Franklin Street tooth, the first of twelve specimens discovered in New Ulm, Minnesota. Found in 1912 buried in glacial drift, it is the earliest known discovery.

Discoveries in New Ulm continue to this day! To read more about the first “dirty dozen” proboscidean finds, check out Lost Bones #3 (one of the free articles) on my Substack.

This is my eldest. #Molar #cat #Portrait #kitty

This mystery mammoth molar was donated to the Pope County Historical Society in Glenwood, Minnesota, along with a large bison skullcap and another mammoth molar.

I am actively investigating its discovery location, along with several other donations. Check the link in my profile to uncover more stories of 'lost' Pleistocene specimens, where I’ve pieced together the details of their discovery and preservation.

It’s a #LostBones #FossilFriday 🦥🐴🐪🐘 🐟 This mammoth molar's dentin/enamel plates have separated. It was found in a gravel pit on a farm in Nora Township by a Works Progress Administration (WPA) crew in November 1941.

If placed together in its original form, it measures about 14cm x 14cm. It is now housed in the Pope County Historical Society Museum in Glenwood, MN.

Mammoth teeth are composed of plates of dentine surrounded by enamel. A series of these individual plates is held together by cementum, forming ridges along the lamination boundary, creating a coarse chewing surface ideal for grinding fibrous plants and grasses.

It’s a #LostBones #FossilFriday 🐘 🦥🐴🐪🐟 This mammoth specimen is not from #Minnesota, but you can see it here! This molar and partial jaw were found west of Fairbanks, Alaska, in the Tanana River Valley in 1975, until the fall of 2024 when it was donated to the Runestone Museum in Alexandria.

The museum also holds the controversial Kensington Runestone, proposed to provide evidence of pre-Columbian trans-Atlantic contact in Minnesota.

I got a rotten #molar #tooth pulled out about 4 months ago, and thought it healed fine. Got it check out by the dentist and everything. Just now, however, I felt something glance past the gum there and got this shooting #pain like an intense #cavity even though the tooth is gone. Felt back there with my finger, and I swear there is like bone or something jutting out of my gum to a sharp point. Holy shit. I guess I never felt it because it was so far back. Is this a #dental emergency?

It’s #Minnesota #FossilFriday! 🦥🐃 🐘 🐴🐪🐟🍃There are no documented Pleistocene-age horse specimens in Minnesota. The small size of this m3 tooth has me hopeful. It's about 25mm in length across the crown.

Found by a friend on a river gravel bar it will be donated to the Science Museum of Minnesota for further study.

It’s #Minnesota #MammothMonday 🦣🐪🦥🦫🍃 The beautiful mammoth molar below was dredged from a gravel pit near Carver Minnesota.

The tooth is an upper left molar of a Woolly Mammoth ~11-12,000 years old and is on display at the Carver County Historical Society. Over the same summer in 2001, a second molar and a tusk fragment were also recovered at the same site.

My 10 year old boy is having 2 molars out tomorrow. He's a bit worried about it. So am after the fediverse's recommendations for a) reassuring things I can do and b) things he'll be able to eat/drink while recovering

So… I always find teeth, don’t know why- they catch my eye somehow. I have many more of these, but most are “just” rabbits, foxes, mice. There is also a complete minute weasel skull somewhere in a box and I have some bird skulls and a variety of vertebrae….harmless collection, honest. I find bones and teeth aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes they end up in sculptures, sometimes they are just in a box as treasure.
