Such approaches are being considered in terrestrial contexts, with various groups attempting to resurrect extinct species (known as “de-extinction”), such as the great auk and the woolly mammoth (Corlett, 2017). Indeed, by extensive and rigorous bio-banking it may be possible, in the long ...
The scientists plan to take cells from these frozen mammoths. In a laboratory, they’ll use them to create a new cluster (群) of cells called an embryo. The embryo will be placed into the womb of a living female elephant. That elephant will then give birth to a baby woolly mammoth. ...

Original material fossils are one of many types of fossils. Made of original organic materials, these fossils can be comprised of part or all of an organism's body. The 1948 discovery of a woolly mammoth at an Alaskan gold mine is an example of an original material fossil.Fossil...
Researchers have used computed tomography (CT) scanning to examine and reconstruct cranial fossils belonging to two extinct species of monkey, Caipora bambuiorum and Cartelles coimbrafilhoi. The fossils were found almost 30 years ago in a cave complex in
The really neat part is how they then used this finding to paint a picture of the world when fir trees were colonizing the Mediterranean. At the time these fir trees diversified, what we now think of as the Mediterranean climate, temperate and favourable to biodiversity, didn’t exist, and...
Deep-time protein preservation has attracted increasing interest and rapid research activity within the palaeobiological community in recent years, but there are several different viewpoints without a cohesive framework for the interpretation of these proteins. Therefore, despite this activity, crucial gaps...
