U-M researcher's techniques
Research featured in National Geographic cover story,
TV program
Extensive studies of a 40,000-year-old baby mammoth carcass discovered in Siberia two years ago validate techniques developed by University of Michigan paleontologist Daniel Fisher for extracting information about prehistoric pachyderms' lives from their teeth and tusks.

The story was widely covered in the media, including an interview on the Today Show, NPR’s Science Friday and Discover Magazine.
