In June 1921, workers removing the overburden at the Sagamore Mine near Riverton, Minnesota uncovered a peat layer ~eight feet below the surface that held a rich Pleistocene bone bed. Among the material recovered from this layer were a horse molar (specimen #6) and an horse incisor, found alongside other late‑Quaternary remains within the same sedimentary zone.
