Abstract
THE site at Sahabi, Libya, was first investigated in 1934–-391, and geological, palaeontological and palaeoanthropological research began again in 1977, as part of the International Sahabi Research Project. Further extensive fossiliferous sediments were revealed. A vertical extent of more than 80m of such sediments are exposed, and on the basis of the mammalian fauna their age is inferred as Late Turolian to Ruscinian, 7–4 Myr BP. We present here a report of Sahabi geology and palaeontology based on results obtained up to March 1979. More than 3,000 invertebrate and vertebrate fossil specimens have been collected, and for several taxonomic groups they fill a gap in the African fossil record.
