MARQUETTE, MI-- Department of Natural Resources officials say bones found by a boy near Picnic Rocks in Marquette last week are from a horse, not a moose.
The remains of a skeleton were unearthed from the sand Thursday and bagged by police. Initial reports said the bones came from a moose, but DNR biologist Brian Roell says the skull has upper incisors and is the more heavily built skull of a horse. He says it was probably buried long ago and unearthed by recent high water levels.
Biologists will dispose of the bones.
