Fossil fur as a new source of information on the Ice Age biota

From the beginning of the study of the Ice Age, our knowledge on the biotas of that time has been based on mammalian remains, associated organic remains (those of other vertebrates, invertebrates, and plants), and formations hosting these remains. To obtain as complete information as possible on paleolandscapes and paleobiotas, it is sometimes necessary to use data from cuts located far apart, and local factors may dis tort the reconstruction.
