Description
Summary:See PDF] TECHNICAL QUESTIONS The article lacks either information on geomorphology, section documentation or description, or a simple schematic explaining the spatial and hypsometric correlation of the section and the lithologic sequence from a certain location, presented in the article (Table 1 in Lozhkin and Anderson, 2018). [...]the description, as well as the hypsometric scale (Fig. 2 in Lozhkin and Anderson, 2018), violates the geologic description standard (bottom to top). [...]their figure 2, showing the hypothetical reconstruction, directly follows the map and opens a series of images, which present factual materials, its position lending it some undeserved legitimacy. [...]an alternative view on the timeframe, mechanism, and causes of the formation of the Berelekh mammoth remains accumulation has neither geologic nor chronometric evidence, and the construction as a whole lacks a factual basis.
