The Jalai Nur Man site is a site of ancient human fossils located in the upper part of the open coal mine in eastern Zhalainuoer, southeastern Manzhouli City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Skulls of ancient indigenous human beings have been unearthed with cultural relics, including microliths, stone arrowheads, Jomon pottery fragments, bone cones, bone needles and jade twigs. Hence, the Jalai Nur Man is a new modern man from the early stage of the Neolithic. The mammal fossils include Late Pleistocene and Holocene species, such as marmots, Ochotonidae, wolves, Mammuthus sungari, Coelodonta antiquitatis, deer, horses, Capreolus pygargus, Procapra przewalskii and Bison exiguus.
