Laetoli: A Pliocene Site in Northern Tanzania.
Abstract
This work presents the results of intensive fieldwork carried out from 1974 to 1981 at the site of one of the richest fossil sites yet discovered in Africa. In addition to hominid fossils, the remains of a large number of other vertebrate species have been collected. The vertebrate faunas from Laetoli are of special interest because of the differences in composition from other East African faunas of comparable age. Invertebrate fossils include terrestrial gastropods, the ova of solitary Hymenoptera, and some superbly preserved termitaries. This volume also details for the first time accumulated findings from the remarkable Footprint Tuff, a volcanic ash deposit in which are preserved the tracks and trails of a great variety of animals, many long extinct.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
