Abstract
A complete faunistic description of fossil animals at the location of the upper reaches of the Enge-Yuryue river in the Srednekolymsky region of Yakutia was carried out. Descriptions and standard morphometric parameters of the bone remains of mammals of the mammoth fauna are presented. Species and morphometric parameters were determined according to the standard methods described in the original article. The presented bone remains were found directly at the site at the area of approximately 60 square meters in one bone-bearing layer. The material contains data on 9 mammals of the mammoth fauna. There are also the remains of rodents, but they are not included in this work due to the complexity of identifying the species. The geological age of the finds is presumably Middle and Late Neopleistocene.
Supporting agencies: This work was carried out within the framework of the research program of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) «Study of Biological Aspects of Mammoth Fauna».
