Bison leg bones found at Hansen Park, New Brighton, Minnesota

Bison leg bones found at Hansen Park, New Brighton, Minnesota
Bison bones were unearthed from a boggy area near a creek at Hansen Park in New Brighton by three boys, Steven Sullivan, Joe McHale, and Joe Evangelist. A neighbor, who was a geologist, identified the bones as from a bison, which lived sometime after the last glacier melted in the area some ten thousand years ago.
