Le Sueur River, Minnesota
Le Sueur River, Minnesota
After a brief hiatus from the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers Nathan Kniefel and Brent "The Boss' Ekstrom were able to make a trip down to southern Minnesota to investigate along the Le Sueur River, focusing their efforts on a branching creek.
The terrain was slick with runoff and sharp shale protruding from the rocky outcroppings. Multiple large bones were found, although where they came from was inconclusive. Expedition Lead Brent Ekstrom pulled them from the hillside as they were searching for tracks in the soft mud and clay. See the images below.
