案例简介：照片 @ paoloverzone / Can Mata是西班牙加泰罗尼亚地区最大的活动垃圾填埋场，并且不断扩大。受够了气味和噪音，许多当地人希望它关闭。但是每次扩展都使古生物学家可以接触到地下深处的化石，否则这些化石将是遥不可及的。Can Mata的土壤拥有大约1120万至1250万年前的迷人化石，其中包括世界上其他地方都没有的古代灵长类动物。古生物学家一直在监测垃圾场的扩张2002年。来自Can Mata的各种骨骼和牙齿包括已灭绝的猪 (1)，老鼠鹿 (2)，古代大象亲戚 (3) 和巨型乌龟的遗骸。化石中化学物质的变体 (称为同位素) 为该地区过去的气候提供了线索，例如降雨和温度的变化。碳同位素还可以指示动物一旦进食的植物或猎物的类型。请关注 @ paoloverzone以获取更多照片和故事。有关此故事的更多信息，请查看Nat Geo在bio中的链接。

案例简介：Photo by @paoloverzone / Can Mata is the largest active landfill in the Catalonia region of Spain, and it keeps getting bigger. Fed up with the smell and noise, many locals want it closed. But each expansion offers paleontologists access to fossils deep underground that would otherwise be out of reach.The soil at Can Mata holds fascinating fossils from about 11.2 million to 12.5 million years ago, including species of ancient primates found nowhere else in the world. Paleontologists have been monitoring the dump’s expansion since 2002. The diverse bones and teeth from Can Mata include remains from an extinct pig (1), a mouse deer (2), an ancient elephant relative (3), and a giant tortoise. Variants of chemicals in the fossils, called isotopes, hold clues to the region’s past climate, such as changes in rainfall and temperature. Carbon isotopes also indicate the types of plants or prey the animals once ate.Follow @paoloverzone for more photos and stories. Check out Nat Geo's link in bio for more on this story.
