Description
Summary:The paper highlights the results of complex mineralogical, spectroscopic, chromatographic, isotope-geochemical studies of the remains of the Taimyr mammoth, including bones, bone collagen, hairs, skin and soft – muscle and fatty – tissues, obtained for the first time. The authors have drawn conclusions about the animal's biological age, paleoclimatic conditions of existence, diet, as well as about the forms and degree of fossilization of its fossil remains.
