案例简介：照片由 @ paoloverzone/巴塞罗那西北约30英里处，当ICP (古生物学研究所Miquel Crusafont) 的同名Miquel Crusafont在该地点发现中新世大猩猩的部分下颌骨和牙齿时，Can Mata降落在20世纪40年代初的化石地图上。随后的发现有助于将Can Mata确立为古生物学遗址。尽管具有这种地位，但自20世纪80年代中期以来，它也已合法地作为垃圾填埋场运营。在21世纪00年代初中，当站点运营商Cespa废物管理公司希望在至少100英尺深的深度挖掘新的垃圾箱时，根据西班牙法律，该公司有义务确保其机器不会被化石或将其埋在垃圾堆中。Cespa与一些发现化石的科学家接触，以监督挖掘工作，他们抓住了这个机会。ICP主任David Alba (如图) 自博士学位以来一直在Can Mata进行发现。学生。他的早期发现是Pierolapithecus catalaunicus，这是中新世最完整的灵长类动物骨骼之一。阿尔巴说: “从古生物遗产的角度来看，垃圾场对科学做出了巨大贡献。”有关此故事的更多信息，请单击我们简历中的链接。关注 @ paoloverzone获取更多照片和故事。

案例简介：Photo by @paoloverzone / About 30 miles northwest of Barcelona, Can Mata landed on the fossil map in the early 1940s when Miquel Crusafont, namesake of the ICP (Institute of Paleontology Miquel Crusafont), discovered the partial mandible and teeth of a Miocene great ape at the site. Subsequent finds helped establish Can Mata as a paleontological site. Despite that status, it also has operated legally as a landfill since the mid-1980s.In the early 2000s, when site operator Cespa Waste Management wanted to dig new trash-holding cells at least 100 feet deep, the company was obliged under the Spanish law to make sure its machines weren’t crunching through fossils or burying them beneath mounds of trash. Cespa approached some fossil-spotting scientists to supervise the excavations, and they jumped at the chance. ICP director David Alba (pictured) has been making discoveries at Can Mata since he was a Ph.D. student. Among his early finds was Pierolapithecus catalaunicus, one of the most complete Miocene primate skeletons. “From the viewpoint of paleontological heritage, the dump is making a huge contribution to science,” Alba says.
