Finding a preserved baby mammoth

Paleozoology. Workers retrieving the carcass of a baby mammoth (Mammonteus sp.). The animal was discovered in the Susudan district of northern Russia, and was remarkably well preserved by permafrost in the soil. The preserved cell material may be used for DNA sequencing. Various microorganisms and pollen grains may be preserved on and inside the carcass, giving an indication of the climate and natural environment at the time of the animals death. Photographed in 1989

Field Fossil Mammoth Mammoth Mammoths Palaeozoology Preserved Palaeontology Unearthing


EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment when workers unearthed a preserved baby mammoth in the Susudan district of northern Russia. The remarkable preservation of this ancient creature was made possible by the permafrost that enveloped it, safeguarding its delicate cell material for centuries. This discovery holds immense significance for paleozoology and paleontology, as scientists can now potentially extract DNA from this well-preserved specimen. Beyond its genetic value, this baby mammoth also offers a unique window into the past climate and natural environment. Various microorganisms and pollen grains found on and within the carcass provide valuable insights into the ecosystem during its time of death. Researchers eagerly anticipate unraveling these clues to better understand our planet's history. Photographed in 1989, this image serves as a testament to human curiosity and scientific exploration. It showcases not only our relentless pursuit of knowledge but also our deep fascination with prehistoric life forms such as mammoths. As we continue unearthing these magnificent creatures from their icy tombs, each discovery brings us closer to unlocking secrets buried beneath layers of time. This photograph is part of Science Photo Library's extensive collection, which aims to inspire wonder and spark intellectual curiosity through visual representations of scientific discoveries.
