Rock Hax, which is often known as “desi” in South Africa, is a dear, thick set of creatures with small legs and has no understanding. They spend most of themselves in the sun on the rocky output.
Another thing they sometimes do is to drag their butts to the ground. Dog owners know that this behavior can be a sign of parasitic infection. The reason for this is less clear in the Hyracia, but this process leaves specific marks in the sandy areas.
Signs and tracks – just, Jovashima – We read in the African Center for Coastal Pale Science through the Cape South Coast Iconology Project. Over the past few decades, we have found about 400 400 screambate track sites on this coast, some of which are 400,000 years old, known as Plastson Epoch’s Evlanis. The pledge continued until about 2.5 2.58 million years ago until 11,700 years ago.
We are creating a picture of the environment during this period and how the animals and plants are currently living.
Appeared in our latest results ichnos There are two signs of two fiancée, which seems to have been made by Rock Hax long ago. There is a track site and the other is the impression of Bit drag in which it can have a foam.
The potential track site was brought to our attention by a passionate tracker, a passionate tracker, from a site near Walker Bay on Cape South Coast. He is about 76 76,000 years old. We have the impression of a potential bit drag in the east of Steel Bay on the same coast, and it is most likely to be 126,000 years old.
The impression of Butt drag is the first of its kind to be described from anywhere in the world. In addition, these are the only potential fossils to identify the tracks. In the world of pelvicology, it is important to be something unusual and we feel the honor of being able to translate them.
To translate drag mark
Dating on our sites is done through a technique known as optical stimulation luminescence, which works by analyzing when materials like sand were last tossed to light.
The impression of Bit drag is 95 cm long and 13 cm wide. It has five parallel structures. Its outer margins are lifted slightly, and has a 2 cm high feature, 10 cm 9 cm. It was clearly dragged to some level when it consisted of loose sand.
We considered the possible reasons besides the hysteries. Among them, a leopard or ancestral man dragged, or perhaps an elephant in which his trunk drag. O.L., however, they will be expected to leave the tracks, and secondly, in such interpretations, the feature raised cannot be explained.
But if it was a hiccup, it would mean, because the hips were traced after tracks and they would have been removed. And the lifting feature can be a copylite: a fused fuse of harares dropped.
Old dung and urine
The rock hicks leave much more than the tracks and the Butt drag signs. Since they prefer rocky areas, their tracks are often not found, but they polish the surfaces of the rocks for a shiny end. It is like a buffalo on the Perry of North American, which creates “buffalo rocks”.
Hoxes also leave urine and dung reserves. Urea and electrolytes are concentrated in their urine, and they emit large amounts of calcium carbonate. It becomes cement and forms a wide reservoir on the surfaces of the rocks. Due to their sectarian habits, Hiracles often urinate in the same preferred areas in many generations.
Their urine and dung often form a substance. It is found in the name of Hirsim. Hirsim has been used to treat a number of diseases as a traditional drug, including epilepsy, and for diseases.
Hirsium can be tens of thousands of years old, and can be considered as a threat, non -renewable resources. Midens, being sensitive to climate change and contains foolish jugs and other evidence of ancient life, create valuable natural archives for the translation of past climate, plants and environment.
Thinking Hirsim as a trace fiancée, something that was not apparently done before, can help protect this unbearable resources.
Although the fossil urine is unusual, there is a word to explain: “Uroolite”, to distinguish it from “Caprolite” (fossilized pope). Hyrex looks like a lion’s share in the world’s Eurolite. At the peltology conferences, students can be seen playing sports T -shirts, which strictly describes: “Coprolat is.” In South Africa, the more appropriate term “is Eurolite.”
By appreciating the importance of Bit drag, the importance of utolitis, copylitis and hyirasium, and learning about the rocky hires and other animal environments during the plason, we will never see these cute creatures in the same light.
