... View of an 48-million-year-old placenta... uniquely and exceptionally well preserved prehistoric horse foetus from the Messel Pit fossil site... archaeologists have found this foetus in its mother's womb.... the animal died shortly before giving birth to her young... with more than 40,000 finds to date, the Messel Pit is one of the world's most productive fossil sites, documenting dramatic changes to the biosphere during past geological periods... the site is a must-see for anyone interested in Earth's history and the fascinating world of fossils... it's a window into the past that offers a unique and educational experience... Thanks Dustin! (ツ)
