Risch-Rotkreuz ZG, partial mammoth skeleton

3D Model

[Deutsche Version siehe https://skfb.ly/TPAW.]

In July 2015, a tusk and several bone fragments (marked in red) of an adult bull mammoth have been found in Risch-Rotkreuz, Canton of Zug. They have been radiocarbon dated to the end of the last ice age at around 15‘000 BC. See https://skfb.ly/oyPL9 for all 3D models.
