  1. #FossilAdventCalendar Day 22 (delayed due to time with the family)

    Our first #fossil from north of the #Arctic Circle is from the most iconic of #IceAge #megafauna. This woolly #mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius, was found over a century ago in the far #north of Siberia and gifted to Paris' #MuseumNationalD'HistoireNaturelle by the tsar. Like the squirrel featured yesterday, this mammoth was partially preserved in #permafrost; you can see its #mummified face and leg in the case at the right.
