Spain had camels 6 million years ago, discovery shows LOGRONE, Spain -- Spanish scientists have discovered Europe's first fossilized camel footprints, Professor Felix Perez Lorente from La Rioja University said Monday. The footprints found at a site near Murcia were 6 million years old. They revealed the existence of a hitherto unknown camel-like species, which the scientists named Paracamelichnum Jumillensis. The 191 footprints were made by about a dozen adult animals which walked as a group together. |
