Waking the Baby Mammoth Aug 22nd 2011, 10:00 The 40,000 year old baby mammoth called Lyuba was discovered on the bank of the frozen Yuribei River near this location. In this photo, University of Michigan Paleontologist Dan Fisher puzzles over the sediments which consist of very thin layers of soil. The implications are that Lyuba wasn't buried in this location and eroded out of the deposit, but rather was deposited by the movement of the river or ice after she eroded out of the permafrost farther upstream. The location where Lyuba spent forty thousand years buried in the permafrost has yet to be discovered and may never be known.
