Paranthropus is a genus of extinct hominin which contains two widely accepted species: P. robustus and P. boisei. However, the validity of Paranthropus is contested, and it is sometimes considered to be synonymous with Australopithecus .
Lake Chippewa; 10,700 – 7,500 YBP, [1] covered the lowest elevations in the Lake Michigan basin forming a linear lake in the middle, linked by a narrow proto-Straits of Mackinac and the Mackinac Falls to Lake Stanley. [1] Lake Chicago; 14,000 – 11,000 YBP [1] along the southern shore and growing slowly northward. Lake Superior basin
The Peninj Mandible(Peninj 1), also called Natron mandible, [1] is the fossilized lower jaw and teeth of an australopithecine specimen, likely that of Paranthropus boisei [2] or a similar population. [3] It was discovered in West Lake Natron, [4] in Ngorongoro District of Arusha Region of Tanzania by Kamoya Kimeu, [5] [6] Glynn Isaac, and ...
The DNH 7 Paranthropus robustus skull from DMQ, the most complete skull of this species ever discovered and a rare female example.. The Drimolen Palaeocave System consists of a series of terminal [disputed – discuss] Pliocene to early Pleistocene hominin-bearing palaeocave fills [1] located around 40 kilometres (25 mi) north of Johannesburg, South Africa, and about 6 kilometres (3.7 mi ...
The Burren (/ ˈ b ʌr ə n / BURR-ən; Irish: Boirinn, meaning 'rocky district') [1] is a karst/glaciokarst landscape centred in County Clare, on the west coast of Ireland. [2] It measures around 530 square kilometres (200 sq mi), within the circle made by the villages of Lisdoonvarna, Corofin, Gort and Kinvara. [3]
Paranthropus boisei, the last species included in the genus Paranthropus, was first found in Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania and around Ethiopia and Kenya. [10] P. boisei was known for massive facial and dental bones and structure, primarily larger mandibles, molars, and premolars, which was an adaptation allowing them to consume hard plant foods with ...
Paranthropus aethiopicus is an extinct species of robust australopithecine from the Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene of East Africa about 2.7–2.3 million years ago. However, it is much debated whether or not Paranthropus is an invalid grouping and is synonymous with Australopithecus, so the species is also often classified as Australopithecus aethiopicus. [1]
Lough Hyne was probably a freshwater lake until about four millennia ago (2000 BC, during the Atlantic Bronze Age), when rising sea levels flooded it with saline ocean water. The lake is now fed by tidal currents that rush in from the Atlantic through Barloge Creek. The stretch between the creek and the lake is known as "The Rapids."
