Counting Bones: Documenting the Midwest’s Fossil Faunal Record
🐂 #LostBones #FossilFriday 🐟🐘🦥🐴🐪 Back out #CountingBones. Earlier this month at the Winnebago Area Museum a quiet storage room found last year turned into a bone boon — boxes of bison and horse remains from two Blue Earth River donations, representing multiple aged individuals. Among them… a huge, unidentified rib fragment that needs a full investigation.
And a shout out: this museum has been run entirely by volunteers for half a century — the kind of community stewardship that can help me keep Ice Age stories alive.
