Prehistoric elephant footprints documented for first time in Murcia’s fossil dunes

Antelope bone fragment in rock from the 3-million-year-old early human site, Makapansgaat (South Africa). Its bone marrow cavity is filled with a white carbonate-rich precipitate. Paleometabolomics can describe the well-being of that animal and provide ultrafine-scale reconstructions of its paleoecology. Credit: Timothy Bromage and Bin Hu, NYU College of Dentistry
