Thuringia: Archaeologists discover new fossil art!

In Thuringia, archaeologists again cause a stir through a spectacular find. As part of research at the famous Bromacker Fossilfundstätte in the UNESCO Global Geopark Thuringia Inselsberg-three same have made experts a groundbreaking discovery that offers insight into past ecosystems.

The importance of the find

The 290 million year old site has proven to be the treasury of the early agricultural virgines. The finds of diadectomorphs, including skeletons from Diadectes Absitus, Orobates Pabsti, Martensius Bromackerensis and Eudibamus cursoris, are particularly remarkable

The discovery of a new kind

With the help of modern technology, such as computer tomography, researchers have previously found unknown details on the skulls of the diadectomorphic. These findings led to the identification of a new type - diadectes triple -scenis. The name of the species is derived from the UNESCO GLOBAL GEOPARK Thuringia Inselsberg - three equalize where the site is located, and refers to the three striking mountain crests in the region.

The differences in the skulls and the unique features of the diadectomorphic provide new insights into evolution and the behavior of these early herbivores. The connection to the Thuringia region makes this discovery particularly significant and contributes to researching the historical ecosystem in the region.
