Remains of woolly mammoth, woolly rhinoceros, bison, reindeer and horse bones were found in 2006 y in gravel pit in Wilga Valley near Garwolin. The most numerous represent the mammoth bones: fragments of skull, teeth, and pelvis with biting trace by predators. The bones were found in the fluvial sands and gravels at the depth of 5–6 m below the ground surface. Geological studies have identified the origin and age of the deposits for the period of Vistulian. The age of mammoth bones in two analysis used 14C method is between 38 and 46 ka and is correlated with the Grudziadz Interstadial. Below the Vistululian sands and gravels are located tills of the Wartanian Glaciation, and above Holocene peat.
Aunique set of mammoth bones and tusk was found in active gravel pit in vicinities of Zastruże near Żarów, Lower Silesia. The use of archaeological methods made it possible to uncover 17 bones belonging to a single individual (Mammuthus primigenius). This is the first record of so complete set of mammoth bones in the Lower Silesian region. Mammoth remains were found to be accompanied by some bones of a horse and a flint artifact. The mammoth bones were dated radiocarbon method at 23 790 š 160 years, that is at the beginning of the last Pleniglacial of the Weichselian Glaciation. The mammoth remains were embedded in slope sediments of a small valley so they did not occurin anatomical order.

In the Natural History Museum of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine in Lviv there is a collection of a famous Pleistocene mammoth and a woolly rhinoceros, the so-called "first rhinoceros" from Starunia. The mammoth and the first rhinoceros were found 102 years ago, on 5th October and 6th November, 1907, respectively, in a shaft of an ozokerite (earth wax) mine near Starunia village (the Eastern Carpathians). The discovery of large Pleistocene mammals in Starunia was a spectacular, world-famous scientific event. Beside the mammoth and the rhinoceros, many specimens of Pleistocene flora and fauna from Starunia and other places of the Fore-Carpathian region are exhibited in the Lviv Natural History Museum.
