Geological relevance of location
The fragments of bones originate from dry-land and/or river sediments rich in coarse debris. The material is found in lenses in only a few horizons and provides evidence of a mud flow caused by a flash flood, which rolled down a dry valley, carrying everything in its path, including animals drinking at a water hole. The animal remains are preserved as if they had been \"baked\" in a lump of dough. The fauna includes predecessors of the present-day gazelle, antelope, elephant and horse. These particular bone fragments have been washed free of sediment in order to select identifiable specimens.
