A recent study found that the famous Australian caves are more than 500,000 years old, which we thought – and this helps to explain the mystery of the huge animals that existed at that time.
Narcorte caves, which is located in southern Australia, is one of the most important excavation sites in the world, and it contains a record that extends for more than half a million years, among the remains preserved in layers of sand the bones of many types of famous huge Australian animals that became extinct between 48,000 and 37,000 years, According to Theconversion.
The reasons for the disappearance of these types of huge animals discuss an intense controversy, but the more we advance the excavations that we can find, we could better understand the development and extinction of species.
So far, determining the careful age of the caves was difficult. However, the new research for the first time shows the age of Narcorte caves already – and the answer is older than he previously thought up to 500,000 years.
The results we have reached a new light on the ancient times of this important place, and it hopes this will help in understanding how the biological diversity of the changing climate responds over time.
Caves can be unusual time capsules, often maintaining the remains of plants and animals that have long been extinct in great details, for example, Narcorte caves in southern Australia.
Caves were formed when groundwater was leaked through cracks in limestone, which led to their dissolution and the formation of cavities. It was previously history between 0. 8 and 1. 1 million years – estimated by the history of a series of fossil sand dunes located above the cave complex, this complex work included in the modern study took five years..
