Apidima Cave A, Griechenland

Fundort:	Apidima Cave A, Griechenland, Lakonia, Griechenland
Taxon:	Homo neanderthalensis aus der Familie Hominidae
Fossilien und Beschreibung der Fundstelle:
Macrofossils,mesofossils, The Apidima caves are karstic formations within the Middle Triassic-Late Eocene limestone (Plattenkalk) of depth 500m, from 4m to 24m above sea level, in a vertical zone of depth 20m. Very thick and cohesive breccia up to 23m above sea level. Dated using ESR on travertine calcite and fossils - two samples with dates of 250-450,000 and 200-300,000BP. "As the Apidima fauna is stratigraphically mixed, careful interpretation is required", Quaternary terrestrial deposits are represented, in some places, by very cohesive cemented breccias, sometimes with fossils; and scree and talus cones compacted during the Mindel, Riss and Wurm. The Apidima caves are karstic formations within the Middle Triassic-Late Eocene limestone (Plattenhalk).
