That's One Giant Beaver!
Giant beavers as big as bears (6 to 9 feet long, weighing 200-500 pounds) ranged the Mississippi River flats over 15,000 years ago. Picture here, in 1947, is Louis H. Powell, director of the Science Museum of St. Paul, comparing a giant beaver skull dug up on the Mississippi flats, near Hidden Falls park, with the skull of a large modern beaver.
In 2021, the Science Museum of Minnesota nominated a Giant Beaver specimen to be the official state fossil. You can read the campaign online. A bill was introduced in 2022.
Photos from the Minneapolis Newspaper Photograph Collection in the Hennepin County Library Digital Collections. The 1947 newspaper article which featured these photographs incorrectly stated that the fossil was dug up below the Lake Street Bridge, but Hidden Falls Park is in St. Paul.
