Title: Mammoths and the mammoth fauna: studies of an extinct ecosystem. Proceedings of the First International Mammoth Conference in St. Petersburg, October 16-21, 1995.
Description: Rotterdam, Deinsea, 1999. 8vo. 221 pp., numerous figures and tabels. Original pictorial wrappers over a pictorial soft cover. = Interesting collection of papers, mainly on extinct Quaternary megafaunas and in particular proboscideans, but e.g. also a chapter on the woolly rhino. Questions are posed and answered relating to the palaeo-environments, mammoths in cave-art, the speciation and extinction of mammoths and other large proboscideans, dwarfism, permafrost and preservation, and even DNA sequences (fro which it appears that the mammoth is closer to the Indian than to the African elephant). Published in the series, Deinsia. Annual of the Natural History Museum of Rotterdam 6. A mint copy.
