Bromacker deposit is 4 million years older than previously thought, new dating reveals
Analysis of a volcanic ash tuff layer, only a few millimeters thick and discovered during excavations in 2024, revealed that the fossil-bearing Bromacker rocks are 294 million years old—four million years older than previously thought. These findings have now been published in the journal Gondwana R...
