Numerous small snake vertebra collected from a Harvester Ant Mound on private ranch in the Badlands of Nebraska – Early #Oligocene, Brule Formation. Most likely, these snake fossils are from small boids. Scale = mm. #FossilFriday #NebraskaFossils

Here are a couple of small rattlesnake fangs that split open showing their hollow structure – venom flow through the fangs up to tip where there’s a small opening. Rattlesnakes tend to shed their fangs every 6 – 10 weeks. Found in Nebraska on a Harvester Ant Mound. #RattleSnake
