Swabian Jura

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
Swabian Jura 

(also Swabian Alps), a cuesta in the southern part of the Federal Republic of Germany, extending southwest from the Franconian Jura. The Swabian Jura is approximately 200 km long and rises to an elevation of 1,015 m at Mount Lemberg. It is composed primarily of Jurassic limestones. At its higher elevations, the Swabian Jura forms a karst plateau; the northwestern slope is steep, and the southeastern slope is gentle. The Swabian Jura is dissected by tributaries of the Neckar and Danube rivers. In addition to coniferous, beech, and oak forests, there are meadows, shrubs, and wasteland.

Dubbed the "Venus of the Hohle Fels," after a cave at Schelklingen in the Swabian Jura of southwestern Germany where it was found, the carving is around 32,000 years old, according to carbon-dating measurements.
The few previously known human PUUV sequences from individual clinical case-patients in Germany, "Berkel" from Munsterland (7) and "Heidelberg" from a region located between Swabian Jura and Spessart Forest (8), as well as human-derived strains from a small 2004 outbreak in the Bavarian Forest (6), were included in this analysis.
The figurines are small, made of mammoth ivory, and have been sifted from the debris in the Hohle Fels cave in the Swabian Jura in south-western Germany.
