Anyone know more information regarding this?

From Earth in Upheaval by Immanual Velikovsky:

In 1797 the body of a mammoth, with flesh skin, and hair was found in northeastern Siberia, and since then bodies of other mammoths have been unearthed from the frozen ground in various parts of that region. The flesh had the appearance of freshly frozen beef; it was edible, and the wolves and sledge dogs fed on it without harm. [footnote references an observation of D.F.Hertz in B Digby: The Mammoth (1926), p.9.]
Really what is more interesting is the inference Velikovsky makes from this which is that the mammoths must have been entombed and frozen almost instantly, else they would have rotted. Full text is available at Amazon. (This link takes you to page 19 where the extract I presented appears at the bottom of the page.)

Cool. Reminds me of that old NOrthern Exposure episode where someone fnds a frozen mammoth and the townsfolk eat it before scientists can come to study it. Mammoth burger- yum!
