"In 2010, a small bone fragment of a finger bone was discovered in Denisova cave in the Altai Mountains of Asia. Later genetic analysis indicated that it belonged to a heretofore unknown ancient human species, named Denisovans"

I've read that the dna from this little piece of bone has had a more thorough dna analysis than any other bone anywhere.

In the process of studying the hell out of that DNA, the bone fragment has vanished, existing now only as the archive of genetic data.
