Here are some of this year’s finds from the Lower Pleistocene (ca. 1.7 Ma) paleontological site Tsiotra Vryssi (TSR, northern Greece), with the joint University of Tübingen-University of Thessaloniki team!

The excavation finished last week and the team is now preparing the fossils at the lab! The fauna is rich and includes, among others, hyaenas, sabertooths, wolves, horses, bisons, giraffes, rhinoceroses and mammoths!
