“Each eruption has its own fingerprint — its own evolutionary story below the surface, which is determined by the pathway the magma followed,” said Dr. Céline Vidal, a researcher in the Department of Geography at the University of Cambridge. The scientists carried out new geochemical analysis to link the fingerprint of the thick volcanic ash layer from the Kamoya Hominin Site with an eruption of Shala volcano, more than 400 km away.Since the Omo I fossils were found deeper than this particular ash layer, they must be more than 230,000 years old.from the region was older than previously assumed, I was really excited,” Dr. Vidal said.
