Thanks! One last oldie from the NY Times:
Scientists Dig Up Near-Intact Woolly Mammoth
Reuters
October 21, 1999
The mammoth, dubbed "Zharkov" after a local man who first discovered its tusk sticking out of the ice in 1997, was a nine-foot tall adult male that would have looked like a hairy elephant to the modern eye. Carbon dating of bits taken from the mammoth at the site show it is 23,000 years old. Other tests show it died at the prime of its life, aged about 47 years... If they can get an intact cell nucleus, they may try to clone the mammoth using an elephant egg and an elephant as a surrogate mother. Or they might use frozen sperm, if they can get any, to try to create an elephant-mammoth hybrid.
