Re your statement that a day or few is a rapid enough rate to preserve a dead mastodon. Put a DEAD ELEPHANT IN THE SHADE ON A SUMMER'S DAY and find out how much of the flesh is putrefied. This wasn't a climate where grass and buttercups grew that cooled slowly because the sun was blocked! Address the evidence, Jim.

In 1797 the body of a mammoth, with flesh, skin, and hair, was found in northeastern Siberia. The flesh had the appearance of freshly frozen beef; it was edible, and wolves and sled dogs fed on it without harm. .. In some mammoths, when discovered, even the eyeballs were still preserved. Microscopic examination of the skin showed red blood corpuscles, which was proof not only of a sudden death, but that the death was due to suffocation either by gases or water.
Re your statement that a shift in the position of the glacial ice dragged the mastodon to the north. The mastodon was FROZEN INTO THE GROUND, along with all the tusks that are being dug out of the permafrost for piano keys and billiard balls. I spent a summer in Alaska, and the tusks were being dug from the permafrost, I can assure you. I personally spoke to the men who were mining them. Address the evidence, Jim.

Fossil tusks of the mammoth - an extinct elephant - were found in northern Siberia and brought southward to markets at a very early time. Northern Siberia provided more than half the world's supply of ivory, many piano keys and many billiard balls being made from the fossil tusks of mammoths. .. The ground must have been frozen ever since the day of their entombment; had it not been frozen, the bodies of the mammoths would have putrefied in a single summer, but they remained unspoiled for some thousands of years.
Re your statement that Siberia is not in a ice age. Indeed it is not! Nor has it been over the past few thousand years, the AGE OF THE MASTODONS. Were glaciers receding in that past of the world? Are there any glaciers in Siberia, Jim? Do we find this kind of perfectly preserved animal remains in other glaciers? Address the evidence, Jim.

In the stomachs and between the teeth of the mammoths were found plants and grasses that do not grow now in northern Siberia .. (but are) .. now found in southern Siberia.
