East Turkana - Area 1 - KBS - KNM-ER 42700, Kenia

Fundort:	East Turkana - Area 1 - KBS - KNM-ER 42700, Kenia, , Kenia
Taxon:	Homo erectus aus der Familie Hominidae
Fossilien und Beschreibung der Fundstelle:
Macrofossils, From "1.5 m below the Main Ileret Caliche" (boundary between the KBS and Okote members) above the KBS Tuff (1.869 +/- 0.021 Myr) and below the Lower Ileret Tuff (1.527 +/- 0.14 Myr), but much closer to the latter and well above an ash correlated with a Shungura Formation ash that is just above the Morutot Tuff (1.607 +/- 0.019 Myr); estimated age 1.55 +/- 0.01 "assuming constant sedimentation rates", Hominid specimen was "fully embedded in a matrix of coarse sandstones and carbonates... 1.5 m below the Main Ileret Caliiche" ("carbonates" probably refers to carbonate concretions shown at this level in a figure)
