The Remarkable Geosites Triple Volcano and Tayos Caves in Ecuador – Potential Candidates for the World Natural Heritage List
Based on the concept of presenting exceptional and extraordinary sites for protection or preservation for humanity, the current research proposes two different Ecuadorian caves as exceptional candidates for the World Heritage List of the UNESCO. The first cave named Tayos, is a typical 5 km long, karstic cave situated in the Amazonian lowland, being composed predominantly of chemical and clastic sediments of Triassic age. The cave exhibits clear …

An early modern human from Romania with a recent Neanderthal ancestor
Reconstructing the evolution of cave systems as a key to understanding the taphonomy of fossil accumulations
Fossil remains in karst and their role in reconstructing Quaternary paleoclimates and paleoenvironments
Ancient human footprints in C iur‐ I zbuc C ave, R omania
In 1965, Ciur‐Izbuc Cave in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania was discovered to contain about 400 ancient human footprints. At that time, researchers interpreted the footprints to be those of a man, woman and child who entered the cave by an opening which is now blocked but which was usable in antiquity. The age of the prints (≈10–15 ka BP) was based partly on their association with cave bear ( Ursus spelaeus ) footprints and bones, and the bel…

Peştera cu Oase 2 and the cranial morphology of early modern Europeans
Between 2003 and 2005, the Peştera cu Oase, Romania yielded a largely complete early modern human cranium, Oase 2, scattered on the surface of a Late Pleistocene hydraulically displaced bone bed containing principally the remains of Ursus spelaeus . Multiple lines of evidence indicate an age of ≈40.5 thousand calendar years before the present (≈35 ka 14 C B.P.). Morphological comparison of the adolescent Oase 2 cranium to relevant Late Pleistocen…
