[1] [2] The first excavated lion fossil was found in southern Germany, and described by Georg August Goldfuss using the scientific name Felis spelaea. It probably dates to the Würm glaciation, and is 191,000 to 57,000 years old. [3] Since then, older lion skull fragments were excavated in Germany and in other parts of Europe, including in ...
The oldest widely accepted fossils of P. fossilis in Europe date to around 700,000-600,000 years ago, such as that from Pakefield in England, [20] [21] [3] [22] with possible older fossils from Western Siberia dating to the late Early Pleistocene, [23] with a 2024 study suggesting a presence in Spain by 1 million years ago during the latest ...
This cat entered Eurasia about 780,000–700,000 years ago and gave rise to several lion-like forms. The first fossils that can be definitively classified as P. fossilis date to about 612,000–660,000 years ago. [3] Possibly earlier records of P. fossilis are known from the late Early Pleistocene (over 780,000 years ago) of Western Siberia. [10]
