Peter Kapustin and his sons found three ten-million-year-old prehistoric elephants. Jurassic Park is located in Weipersdorf in the municipality of Langenpreising.
Among the 120 bones secured are the tooth of an ancient rhinoceros and the bones of a prehistoric cat. The bones had been underground for ten million years and were extremely affected by frost and water. The deinotheres would have reached a shoulder height of four to five meters, describes Dr. Gertrud Rößner, senior curator at the Bavarian State Collection for Paleontology and Geology.. They stayed closed for a year. That's why we were now able to go public. There is already an application for a doctoral project. Today's African elephants are 3.5 meters tall. The specimens have not yet been completely measured, but this much is clear: “Both the skull from 2004 and the current one indicate that they were not yet fully grown animals”
