2006-11-16 - Helsinki, Finland.
A mammoth bone was found when the sea bed in front of Helsinki was dredged. The bone is at least 40,000 years old but it is expected to be 120,000 years old. It is 11th finding related to mammoths in Finland. The finding is somewhat weird because the sediment attached to the bone is not typical to the area but to Karelia. Additionally similar findings have not been done earlier from the same era. Thus the origin of the finding will be checked carefully.

Simonsuuri-Sorsa was a young biologist in 1960, when she found a large piece of bone in a summer cottage potato patch in Suomusjärvi. She had just finished a course in paleontology and wondered excitedly whethe...

The first mammoth skeleton to be mounted was that of "Adams mammoth" found at the shores of Lena in the late seventeen hundred. It got the left tusk to the right side and the right to the left! Looking very funny and giving model for plenty of very rongly drawed and reconstructed mammoths. Adams mammoth was shown like this in the Zoological Museum of the Academy of Sciences in St Petersburg until just after the second world war when the tusks where moved to their correct sides!

Since the renaissance, specimens have been central tools of knowledge production in zoological endeavours. The biographies of CN86 and CN87 of the Zoological Museum of the University of Copenhagen--specimens formerly known as hip-bones of giants--have travelled through 300 years of human history, a journey that reveals how the accumulation of objects and changes in scientific methodology can give rise to radical reinterpretation. Although the material form of these specimens has hardly changed, ...
