I find the various comments quite interesting. Working in this field of science over the last 3 decades I find that most viewpoints were some what biased and misinformed. We know that mammoth tusks have been found for over three centuries by the hundreds of thousands. There is no rarity or lack of supply for their procurement commercially or for scientific research. Many individual collectors will pay in the thousands of dollars for collection cabnet examples. The Chinese are driving prices up dramatically for their use in carved ivory trade in jewelry and artistic decorative forms. This fossil trade relieves the demand for the living species ivory trade and will help reduce the slaughter that unfortunately is still driven by the demand for local Bush meat in Africa. It's counter productive to restrict active collecting of these specimens and certainly does not endanger the livelihood of an extinct species or their living relatives. Clearly many universities and scientific research organizations are studying mammoth tusks and frozen carcasses for DNA and pathology studies like those in Russia, Japan, Germany and the USA. The University of Michigan's program under their fine world class paleontology department is a leader in mammoth tusk research. The greatest threat imposed by the passionate and commercially oriented collectors is how they are changing the environment by using high pressure water dredging on the Siberian topography. Also many other important vertebrate remains are frequently overlooked by these teams as many do not have qualified professional paleontologists to scrutinize what being discarded. There are many vertebrate taxa that are equally if not more important that may be discovered in these sediments. Also it clear that even if it were possible to save every scrap of bone from these collection areas they would easily fill every major museum in the world. Unfortunately these institutions are cash strapped and undertaking such a challenge would be economically disastrous. There is just too little funding. So this science is between a rock and a hard place financially. At best it would be reasonable to set up a partnership with the commercial collectors and the scientific community. This commercial fossil industry is certainly far from perfect but until the general public realizes that some research on this material is better than the alternative, leaving vertebrate fossil to disintegrate in the open elements and ignore them as a scientific resource completely. It's better to reach a goal for creating a working relationship with these companies and salvage what is reasonable and possible economically. Many commercial fossil collecting companies have striven to partner with various professionals in this science. I really enjoyed the video and hope more like it are offered to the public..

@@ZechsMerquise73 unfortunately a large number of paleontologists have aligned with politicians attempting to out law public fossil collecting altogether even to the point of relinquishing private property ownership. The UK has a treasure act in place where a collector of fossils and artifacts must be turned into their district public magistrate to review the importance of their find and a professional is assigned to determine its scientific value. If this is a common discovery of the kind already in abundance in the British Museum collection they are released to the collector and then must split the find fairly with the land owner. Of those specimens that are of national importance then the state is entitled to procure it but must equally pay the collector and land owner the fair market value of the find. The UK has a public fund under their government to pay such endowments. I believe more countries should adopt this strategy to save historical and prehistory resources. Everyone would win and the professional community would be able to save far more important specimens. In this way it would allow the general public the ability to encounter rare specimens in the field rather than allow these resources to weather away in the field.

@@miss.yesgoodplease1643 at this time there is no substantial or even the slightest residual evidence of these tusks being used as ornamental objects during the end of their existance in North America. We know that tusks are represent as intrinsic building materials on circular house structures in Russia. Some tusks in Europe have produced carvings at a few sites. We have some evidence of Mammoth hunting and Mastodon remains that were butchered here in America. At this time only human remains are repatriated to tribal members in North America. I have been actively working in that program for many years. At this time the archaeological community has never requested a single mammoth tusk to be repatriated to any indigenous tribe. If a carved mammoth tusk were to be interred with Native American burial remains that could be a valid repatriation for consideration. Otherwise its just an assumption that these tusks would all be considered as archaeological artifacts. Most are simply the remains of mammoth that died from natural causes and few could be proven to be associated with human intervention.

For Example: there's pollen in every inch of soil, we can tell what plants were thriving in which layers, and compare that to the dates of different events and establish major ecological events of the past relating to forest fires or undersea currents changing. CURRENTLY we have that technology, but the context is all lost if the ground is partially ice and the ice melts ruining the layers/seriation. So we're losing untold mass amounts of ancient data from the thawing and we're losing "whatever" the future could have created new technology to study, the stuff we can't conceive of finding in archaeology yet is also being lost.

The wildest part is that landscape. I think everyone's entitled to work together to make the most out of the valuable resources that are being reposited. Nobody will be able to dig those in situ anyway. Those sculpted tusks were some works of art too. It looks like it's devastating the land for now, but I do believe it's also returning a vast amount of minerals and resources to the surrounding environment. It's just going to take time for it to find it's equilibrium again.

Like they died in a fluvial or glaciofluvial (idk how its spelt) event. Like a flood, the animals settled in the same sediment layer in a low pressure zone, thus why the guy is finding them in same layer. So aleast for that specific area it could have been a rapid deglaciation event in the area. Volcanic activity or space debris or something like lake Missoula floods could have basically drowned and swept up a bunch of animals. So bloat and float is a bad way to put it. It should be float then bloat? Or swept then sink then stink? Lol. Disclaimer I know nothing, just stoned watching a video hah. P.s. curious about date due to younger dryas impact hypothesis stuff. Like sure you'll find well preserved remains throughout permafrost. But there could be concentrations of animal corpse deposition and if there's enough energy ot could erode permafrost layers with other animals already dead in those layers and redeposit with the freshly dead. In those areas where there is many skeletons of multiple species in 1 sediment layer

@keatoncreates3 жыл бұрын
I agree! Anything fossilized will take the weather fine out of the ground (still 0 degrees) all scientists should be flocking to the area and grabbing what they dont use, it seems they dont have an issue giving the stuff they dont need away but its super remote , im sure they wash away fleshy some fleshy bits though, but honestly if the permafrost is melting anything that was preserved wont be for long, itll get turned into oil underground once decomposition starts. Scientists already has a large number of tusks and even a whole baby carcass to study with living cells, thats pretty much the pinnacle of mammoth finds anyway, as fresh as they get! But it seems the whole area is riddled with a ridiculous amount and theres now way even a tiny % will be uncovered before decomposition given the rapid melt rate.

By prosecuting these people you're creating an even more questionable market that sell to even more questionable buyers.

Not really. They are using hoses to blast holes in the earth and causing quite a lot of damage. If these bones were salvaged legally and by actual paleontologists, then a lot more of the bones would be available for display. Most of them are discarded, as they're literally blasting them with a hose rather than carefully extracting. What they're doing is illegal so it's not exactly "finders keepers" when you're going into nature and causing destruction for money.
