Product information "Australopithecus africanus transvaalensis, Sts 5 (Cast)"
Cast of a skull without lower jaw.
Also known under the collection number "Sts 5".
At that time assigned to the genus Plesianthropus (BROOM, 1947), hence the nickname "Mrs. Ples". Unlike Broom, who found and described the skull, today's researchers assume that it could actually be "Mr. Ples".
In addition, the constant technical development means that the age of the hominin fossils found in Sterkfontein can also be re-evaluated.
Age: Lower Pleistocene;
Locality: Sterkfontein, South Africa
Delivery: If the cast is marked ‘green – in stock’, it will be shipped within 2–4 days. Otherwise, the stated delivery time applies, depending on the current order situation.
Our casts are made in-house from casting wood and hand-colored, so it is possible that a photo may differ slightly in color from the piece supplied.
