Abel (KT-12/H1) [1] is the name given to the only specimen ever discovered of Australopithecus bahrelghazali.Abel was found in January 1995 in Chad in the Kanem Region by the paleontologist Michel Brunet, [2] who named the fossil "Abel" in memory of his close friend Abel Brillanceau, who had died of malaria in 1989.
Australopithecus bahrelghazali is an extinct species of australopithecine discovered in 1995 at Koro Toro, Bahr el Gazel, Chad, existing around 3.5 million years ago in the Pliocene. It is the first and only australopithecine known from Central Africa , and demonstrates that this group was widely distributed across Africa as opposed to being ...
Australopithecus fossils become more widely dispersed throughout eastern and southern Africa (the Chadian A. bahrelghazali indicates that the genus was much more widespread than the fossil record suggests), before eventually becoming pseudo-extinct 1.9 million years ago (or 1.2 to 0.6 million years ago if Paranthropus is included).
The Pokémon Fossil Museum (Japanese: ポケモン化石博物館, Hepburn: Pokemon kaseki hakubutsukan) is a travelling exhibition based on the Pokémon media franchise, displaying illustrations and "life-size" sculpted renditions of the skeletons of fossil Pokémon, along with the actual fossils of the real-life prehistoric animals and other organisms on which they were based.
Beginning in the 1930s, some of the most ancient hominin remains of the time dating to 3.8–2.9 million years ago were recovered from East Africa. Because Australopithecus africanus fossils were commonly being discovered throughout the 1920s and '40s in South Africa, these remains were often provisionally classified as Australopithecus aff. africanus.

This list of fossil sites is a worldwide list of localities known well for the presence of fossils.Some entries in this list are notable for a single, unique find, while others are notable for the large number of fossils found there.
These, along with Australopithecus bahrelghazali, were the first discoveries of any fossil African great ape (outside the genus Homo) made beyond eastern and southern Africa. [1] By 2005, a third premolar was recovered from the TM 266 locality, a lower jaw missing the region behind the second molar from the TM 292 locality, and a lower left jaw ...
