Four and a half years ago, a gold miner used a water cannon to blast through a wall of permafrost in Canada's Yukon Territory. That day, Neil Loveless didn't find any precious metal. Instead, he chanced upon something far rarer: an almost perfectly-mummified wolf pup who died 57,000 years ago. Her body was so well-preserved that scientists could tell what she ate (salmon!) for her last meal.
That leads me to wonder what some miner or forager will find 57,000 years from now.
