The animal, which they named Paracamelichnum Jumillensis, lived in the Upper Miocene period some six million years. Among their topics are the stratigraphy and geochronology of the late Miocene Adu-Asa formation at Gona, tephrostratigraphy of the Hadar and Busidima formations, depositional environments and stratigraphic summary of the Pliocene Hadar formation, and herbivore enamel carbon isotopic composition and the environmental context of Ardipithecus at Gona. |
