by Professor of Geology and Paleontology, National University of Athens profits. D.
Dermitzakis. Several years later, several residents of the area is discovered in

The University of Athens, thus helping to develop tourism in the region and largely

vertebrates, which is organized so that the visitor gets a general impression of the
kinds of animals lived in the area before 2 million years. Representative samples
are monkeys, horses, carnivores, deer and cattle, rhinos and giraffes, the
proboscides and turtles.

regarding the age of the fauna, the reasons for the disappearance of nykterefton
and giant turtles and the way of walking paradolichopithikou. The study of skeletal
material from Vatera paradolichopithikou will help to better understand how the
