In the Russian city of Nizhny Novgorod, a girl fishing on the Oka River discovered a pile of very well preserved bones. mammoth and even a vertebra of a prehistoric bison.
According to reports from Russian newsA girl named Maryam Mirsaitova noticed a number of strange objects discovered as a result of a recent landslide. His father sent photographs to the nearby Nizhny Novgorod Museum-Reserve in the hope that researchers would be able to identify his discoveries.
The girl found the condyle, or knee joint, and the lower tibia of a woolly mammoth (Mammut the firstborn). The bones are fairly well preserved, with spongy tissue exposed as a result of decomposition in the sediment. The size of the bones indicates that they belonged to a large adult mammoth. Researchers have suggested that the animal probably lived about 100,000 years ago.
Maryam’s finds also included a vertebra, probably from a steppe bison (Bison bite), which flourished in Europe, Asia and North America during the Pleistocene era (2.6 million to 11,700 years ago). This is the ancestor of the modern bison (Bison Bonasus) and American bison (bison bison).
