Fantastic find was donated to National Museum of Bashkiria
An amazing gift — the lower jaw of a baby mammoth — was brought by a resident of the Dyurtyulinsky District, Sergey Kryuchko. The museum called the find fantastic.
As Elvira Khaziakhmetova, head of the nature department, explained, the jaw is almost completely preserved, and the main "highlight" is two tiny milk teeth, which make this exhibit especially valuable for science and simply incredibly touching.
This little one roamed the land of our region back in the Ice Age. Now the jaw will be stored in the "Natural History" collection and will later be available to visitors at temporary exhibitions.
In the autumn, the museum will host one of the most long-awaited exhibitions, dedicated to Lyuba the baby mammoth.
