List of mammoth specimens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This list of Mammoth specimens covers mammoth remains which are either notable in their history or preservation. Mass accumulations of mammoth remains are included in the latter portion of this list.

List of notable individual fossil or subfossil mammoth remains

Name Image Location of discovery Date of discovery Age of remains in
radiocarbon years BP 		Comments
Adams mammoth
Mouth of the Lena River, Siberia[1] 1799[1][2] 35,800±1200[1][3] It is the first complete mammoth skeleton ever to be reconstructed. Originally, it was an entire mummified mammoth carcass.[2]
Beresovka Mammoth
Berezovka River, Siberia[4] 1900[4] 44,000±3,500[4] Except for head, it is an almost wholly preserved, mummified mammoth carcass.[4]
Fairbanks Creek Mammoth (Effie)[5] Fairbanks Creek near Fairbanks, Alaska[5] 1948[5] 21,300±1,300[5][6] It consists of the mummified head, trunk, and left forelimb of a mammoth calf. It was recovered from muck near a prehistoric scraper.[5]
Fishhook Mammoth[7] Shoreline banks of the estuary of the Upper Taimyra River, Taymyr Peninsula, Siberian Federal District.[7] 1990-1992[7] 20,620±70[7] Partial woolly mammoth carcass[7]
Jarkov Mammoth[8][9] Taymyr Peninsula, Siberian Federal District[9][8] July 1997[8] 20,390±160[8] Found by members of the Jarkov family, who are Dolgan reindeer herders.[8]
Kirgilyakh (Magadan) Mammoth (Dima)[8][10]
Northeast Siberia, near Kirgilyakh Creek in the Upper Kolyma basin[8][10] June 23, 1977[10] 41,000±900[10] The discovery of the frozen carcass of the Kirgilyakh (Magadan) Mammoth or Dima provided the first opportunity for a detailed study of the anatomy of a mammoth calf.[10]
Lyuba Mammoth[11][12]
Near the Yuribei River on the Yamal Peninsula in northwest Siberia.[11][12] May 2007[11] 41,700+700/-550[11] Lyuba is regarded to be the most complete and best-preserved mammoth calf discovered. It is nicknamed Lyuba after the diminutive of the name of the wife of the reindeer herder who discovered it.[11][12]
Malolyakhovsky Mammoth[13] (Buttercup)[14] Maly Lyakhovsky Island of the New Siberian Islands archipelago[13] 2012[13] 28,610±110[13] While many mammoths found in permafrost are dried up and mummified, “this was really juicy,” said Herridge, who likened the appearance of the muscle to a “piece of steak — bright red when you cut into the flesh and then as it hit the air, it would go brown.”[15]
Yuka Mammoth[16][17]
Oyagossky Yar coast, 30 km west from the mouth of the Kondratieva River near Yukagir, Siberia.[17] August 2010[17] 34,300+260/−240[17] The Yuka mammoth corpse consists of about 95% of its hide, and soft tissues around limbs were preserved in articulated position. This female mammoth calf was nicknamed ‘Yuka’ after the village of Yukagir, whose local people discovered it.[16][17]
Sopkarga Mammoth (Zhenya)[18][19] Taymyr Peninsula, Siberian Federal District[18] August 28, 2012[18][19] 43,350±240[19] The Sopkarga Mammoth (Zhenya) was found on the right bank of the Yenisei River about 3 km north of the Sopochnaya Karga Meteorological Station on Sopochnaya Karga Cape. Zhenya is the diminutive of the name of the 11-year-old boy who discovered it.[18][19]
Khroma Mammoth[20] Allaikhovskii District, Yakutia, Khroma River[20] October 2008[20] greater than 45,000[21] Khroma is very well preserved excepting the absence of trunk.[20]
Yukagir mammoth
Northern Yakutia, Arctic Siberia, Russia Autumn of 2002 22,500 cal. BP [22] Notably well-preserved head, which revealed that woolly mammoths had temporal glands between the ear and the eye[22]
Nun cho ga mammoth Yukon, Trʼondëk Hwëchʼin First Nation, Canada June 21, 2022 greater than 30,000.[23][24][25] Considered the most complete mummified mammoth found in North America, and only the second such find of a calf since Effie (1948). Also roughly same size as Lyuba (2007).[23][25]

List of significant fossil or subfossil mammoth bone accumulations

[26]

Name Image Location of discovery Date of discovery Age of remains in years BP Comments
Achchagyi–Allaikha mass accumulation[26][27] Achchagyi–Allaikha stream, Yana-Indighirka coastal lowlands, Siberia.[27][28] 1987[27] 12,490±80 to 12,400±60 BP., C14[27] The concentration of bones in the Achchagyi–Allaikha mass accumulation was likely result from the simultaneous deaths of a large number of animals within herd-family groups in one or several seasons. The formation of this mass accumulation is argued to be a direct consequence of short but strong climatic warming (Bølling oscillation) and associated unfavorable environmental conditions.[27]
Berelyokh mass accumulation[26][27][28] Byoryolyokh River, Yana-Indighirka coastal lowlands, Siberia.[27][28] 1947[28] 12,720±100 to 11,900±50 BP., C14[27] The concentration of bones in the Berelyokh mass accumulation was likely result from the simultaneous deaths of a large number of animals within herd-family groups in one or several seasons. The formation of this mass accumulation is argued to be a direct consequence of short but strong climatic warming (Bølling oscillation) and associated unfavorable environmental conditions.[27][28]
Condover site[29] Norton Farm Pit, Condover, south of Shrewsbury, United kingdom[29] 1986[29] circa 12,300 BP., C14, Greenland Interstadial 1[29] Remains of several mammoths trapped in glacial kettle-hole[29]
The Mammoth Site[30]
Hot Springs, South Dakota[30][31][32] 1974[30][31] Greater than 26,000 B.P, C14[32] As of 2016, the remains of 58 North American Columbian and 3 woolly mammoths have been found within pond sediments filling an ancient sinkhole.[31][32]
Waco Mammoth National Monument[33][34]
Waco, Texas[33] 1978[33] 66,800±5,000 BP, calendar[35] As of 2016, two bone beds have yielded 25 Columbian mammoths along with the remains of other co-existing fauna.[34]
Mammoth central[36] Santa Lucía, Mexico 2020[37][38] 10,000 to 20,000 As of 2020, at least 200 Columbian mammoths have been uncovered as well as 25 camels and five horses.
