For a month, scientists and students of TSU’s Faculty of Geology and Geography conducted an excavation in the Novosibirsk Region at one of the largest mammoth graveyards in Eurasia, Remnants of these ancient animals abound in the Wolf Mane area. But this time, researchers stumbled upon a very deep level of bones whose existence no one had suspected. At a depth of about 1.7 to 2.1 meters, paleontologists discovered the bones of young and adult mammoths, which were much larger than their younger (in geological terms) relatives.
