"The cave contained three strata... filling a complex of fissures and openings. Maba 1 and a diversity of mammalian fossils were found in the second level. These deposits extended as much as 10 m above the first level and were 8 m in length, 7 m in width, and 6 m in total height... The associated faunal remains... indicate a later Middle or Late Pleistocene age for the Maba cranium (9– 11). A uranium series date on associated vertebrate teeth yielded an age of 129,000–135,000 y before present (yBP) (12), but it is not clear whether this determination accurately dates the cranium" because of possible analytical biases; "More recent 230Th/234U dating of capping flowstone samples from Southern Branch Cave, another chamber in Lion Head Mountain, suggests that some of the Maba deposits may be as old as 237,000 yBP" "primarily... yellow brown clays" IVPP
