East Turkana - Area 131- Okote- FxJj 20E, Kenia

Fundort:	East Turkana - Area 131- Okote- FxJj 20E, Kenia, , Kenia
Taxon:	Paranthropus boisei aus der Familie Hominidae
Fossilien und Beschreibung der Fundstelle:
Macrofossils, Maximum age= 1.64 +/- 0.03 Ma (Base of Okote Tuff, K/Ar and Ar/Ar dating); Minimum age = 1.4 Ma ( Chari Tuff, K/Ar and Ar/Ar dating). Datum plane is the Conglomeratic sandstone. Section extends -12.2 meters below datum plane., Massive bed of mudstones reaches a maximum thickness of 1.3 m. Bioturbation as evidenced by numerous rootcasts and rodent burrows. This massive tuffaceous ssandy mudstone unit can be divided into two subunits: (1) mudstones are greyish-orange and compacted and comprosed of tuffaceous silts and sands with medium to fine grain sizes. (2) mudstones are orange-brown, less compacted and contain more sand with numerous large irregular-shaped calcium carbonate nodules and small calcareous concretions.
