Tomsk paleontologists found the remains of extinct mammals and birds living in the era of the Late Ice Age
In August, in the framework of the II International Field School Seminar "Paleological biogeotsenosis of Mesozoic and Cenozoic ages in Northern Hemisphere " the scientific expedition of Tomsk State University at the new location of the mammoth fauna finished successfully.
During three weeks paleontologists were working in the Novosibirsk region. The result of extensive research were new finds - bones and teeth of ancient horses, buffaloes, rhinos, mammoths and rare remains of birds and other animals. All of them will tell about the particular facts of ecosystem which vanished about 10 thousand years ago, when the world came to an end of the Ice Age.
This expedition will continue at the final module of the field school seminar. Graduate and undergraduate students from the University of Wroclaw (Poland) arrived at TSU to participate in the expedition. The researchers plan to conduct large paleontological, stratigraphic and archaeological work which will take a new step to learn the past. This place is the real treasure for the paleontologists.
