Pre-Holocene Taymyr Mammoth Petya: Mineralogical, Isotope, and Geochemical Properties of Bones, Soft Tissues, Skin, and Hair and Paleoecological Reconstructions
New remains of a Taymyr mammoth, including bones, bone collagen, hairs, skin, and soft (muscle and fat) tissues were studied comprehensively by mineralogical, spectroscopic, chromatographic, and isotope-geochemical methods. The results were used to infer the mammoth's biological age and diet, paleoclimatic conditions, and the mechanisms and degree of fossilization of the remains.
