| Description |
English: This specimen of southern mammoth (Mammuthus meridionalis) is on exhibit since 1898 at the Galerie de paléontologie et d'anatomie comparée in the French National Museum of Natural History, in Paris. Before that it was on exhibit, since the mid 1870s unil 1898, at the former galeries d'Anatomie comparée ('Comparative Anatomy Galleries'), whose building is nowadays known as le bâtiment de la baleine ('the Whale Building'). The mammoth was found in 1869 in the town of Durfort and is constituted by fully fossilised bone in rock. The town of Durfort is situated in the department of Gard, south of France, and is in the present day officially named Durfort-et-Saint-Martin-de-Sossenac.
