Untermassfeld fossil site
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Untermassfeld fossil site is a palaeontological site in Thuringia, Germany. Excavated continuously since its discovery in 1978, it has produced many fossils dating to the late Early Pleistocene or Epivillafranchian geologic period, approximately 1.2 – 0.9 million years before present (BP).[1] Claims that hominins were also present at the site have sparked a major controversy.[2][3][4]
