TL;DR: The age confirms that species of Australopithecus, Paranthropus, and early Homo overlapped in the karst of South Africa ∼2 million years ago and establishes these fossils as the oldest definitive specimens of their respective species ever discovered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Macromammalian faunas, biochronology and palaeoecology of the early Pleistocene Main Quarry hominin-bearing deposits of the Drimolen Palaeocave System, South Africa
TL;DR: The carnivore assemblage described here is even more diverse than established in prior publications, including the identification of Megantereon whitei, Lycyaenops silberbergi, and first evidence for the occurrence of Dinofelis cf.
Journal ArticleDOI
First description of in situ primate and faunal remains from the Plio-Pleistocene Drimolen Makondo palaeocave infill, Gauteng, South Africa
TL;DR: Rovinsky et al. as mentioned in this paper presented the first description of fossil macromammalian faunas from the Drimolen Makondo, excavated 2013-2014, and a total of 531 specimens were recovered, 268 (50.5%) of which are taxonomically identifiable.
Journal ArticleDOI
The pre-Pleistocene fossil thylacinids (Dasyuromorphia: Thylacinidae) and the evolutionary context of the modern thylacine.
TL;DR: The fossil history of the Thylacinids provides a foundation for understanding the ecology of the modern thylacine and provides a framework for future studies of the evolution of hypercarnivory, cursoriality, morphological and ecological disparity, and convergence within mammalian carnivores.
Journal ArticleDOI
Geoarchaeological and 3D visualisation approaches for contextualising in-situ fossil bearing palaeokarst in South Africa: A case study from the ̃2.61 Ma Drimolen Makondo

TL;DR: The first attempt to integrate and publish data from a range of such methods on South African fossil bearing palaeokarst using the newly discovered Drimolen Makondo deposit as a case study was made by as discussed by the authors.
