This young mammoth on display in the St Petersburg Zoological Museum appears to have been preserved in a peat bog. 

It exhibits the classic black, shiny, flattened form of this method of preservation in anaerobic conditions, seen most often in the very detailed remains of humans preserved in peat bogs in northern Europe. -  donsmaps.com
