Scientists want to create a geological monument in Yakutia
Scientists at TSU and North-Western State Medical University named after I.I. Mechnikov want the status of a geological natural monument assigned to the Yakut natural boundary Yunyugen - to preserve the unique location of the mammoth fauna. The initiative came after a joint expedition with the M. K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University Mammoth Museum.
The Yunyugen tract, located in the Yana River basin, is called the “mammoth cemetery”. There, in the permafrost, a huge amount of the remains of mammoths, bison, woolly rhinos, and other ancient animals has been preserved. Some of these remains were preserved along with soft tissues: wool, tendons, muscles, and horn covers.
