Mammoth remains from the Opole area, southwest Poland
Journal Title: Fragmenta Naturae - Year 2016, Vol 49, Issue
Abstract
Isolated skeletal remains of woolly mammoths, found in the Opole region, are described and illustrated. Most of these were recovered in the first half of the twentieth century; they are now deposited in several museum collections but have not yet been described in detail, nor illustrated. Recent discoveries in the area were the prime trigger for the present review of previously collected material. A summary of current knowledge of all finds of mammoth remains from the Opole area is the main aim of this note, inclusive of a brief history of research. In addition, a single radiocarbon dating has been performed. All skeletal elements, i.e., molars, pelvis, femur, scapula, jaw, tusks and cement with enamel have been identified. The morphology of these is described, inclusive of biometric characteristics and photographic documentation.
