Ca. 37,000-year-old cub of Homotherium latidens found near the Badyarikha River, Siberia.. This is a list of Ice Age species preserved as permafrost mummies.It includes all known species that have had their tissues partially preserved within the permafrost layer of the Arctic and Subarctic.
It has been shown that the prevailing climate at the time of extinction (40,000–50,000 BP) was similar to that of today, and that the extinct animals were strongly adapted to an arid climate. The evidence indicates that all of the extinctions took place in the same short time period, which was the time when humans entered the landscape.
The appearance and behaviour of this species are among the best studied of any prehistoric animal because of the discovery of frozen carcasses in Siberia and North America, as well as skeletons, teeth, stomach contents, dung, and depiction from life in prehistoric cave paintings.
Ice Age footprints of mammoths and prehistoric humans revealed for the first time using radar. ... We can study these extinct animals from their bones – but also from the preserved footprints ...
Lyuba (Russian: Люба) is a female woolly mammoth calf (Mammuthus primigenius) who died c. 42,000 years ago [1] [2] at the age of 30 to 35 days. [3] She was formerly the best preserved mammoth mummy in the world (the distinction is now held by Yuka), surpassing Dima, a male mammoth calf mummy which had previously been the best known specimen.
The species is known from several frozen mummies found in northeast Siberia, including: a pregnant 4-5 year old female (the Indigirka/‘Sana” mummy), discovered in 1953 during a gold mining operation in the upper Indigirka River basin, around 41,000 years old with a preserved foetus; a 7-8 year old adult male (the Selerikan mummy), also ...
The steppe bison [Note 1] or steppe wisent (Bison priscus) [2] is an extinct species of bison.It was widely distributed across the mammoth steppe, ranging from Western Europe to eastern Beringia in North America during the Late Pleistocene. [3]
Microplastics have been found in historic soil samples for the first time, according to a new study, potentially upending the way archaeological remains are preserved.
