The message reports on the first findings of mammal bone remains from the Holocene and the Late Pleistocene on the Beliy Island (the Kara Sea). In the Polar Station locality (73°45'N, 70°05'E), we found 4 bones of Odobenus rosmarus, 1 bone of Erignathus barbatus, 7 bones of Rangifer tarandus and 3 bones of Cetaceans gen. indet. (all dated to the Holocene) and 1 bone of Pusa hispida, 1 bone of Equus ferus, 2 bones of Ursus maritimus and 3 bones of R. tarandus (all dated to the Late Pleistocene). It is the first occurrence of P. hispida bones dated to the Pleistocene in the Eurasian Arctic. Fossil Pleistocene bones of U. maritimus were found in Eurasia for the second time. Two fossil teeth of Mammuthus primigenius dated to the Pleistocene age were discovered in the Malygin Strait locality (73°10'N, 70°30'E). : The message reports on the first findings of mammal bone remains from the Holocene and the Late Pleistocene on the Beliy Island (the Kara Sea).
