Das Mammuth von Borna (1912) is a short scholarly publication devoted to the discovery and scientific description of a mammoth skeleton found near Borna (Saxony, Germany). The author, Dr. Johannes Paul Felix, presents detailed paleontological and anatomical observations of this important find, which was uncovered in 1908 and later exhibited at the Municipal Museum of Ethnology in Leipzig.
The publication comprises 52 pages and was issued in 1912 by R. Voigtländer as part of the series Veröffentlichungen des Städtischen Museums für Völkerkunde zu Leipzig. It discusses the morphology of the bones and teeth, includes measurements and comparative analyses, and contributes to contemporary knowledge of mammoth anatomy and phylogeny.
This work represents a valuable early-20th-century document of a significant prehistoric discovery. At the time of its excavation, the Borna mammoth was regarded as one of the region’s most remarkable paleontological finds; the mounted skeleton was later destroyed during the bombing of Leipzig in 1943.
