Is This Possible Also?
A few weeks ago I posted a link regarding a fossil find that was amazing.

That was food for though, but get this. Talk about Europe rewriting "History". Tis but nothing compared to this find. We are truly on the cusp of greater understanding.

//The first paper on the find will be uploaded to Researchgate in a week's time. The teeth are still being examined in detail, but from the end of October they will be displayed at the Rhineland-Palatinate state exhibition// From the first link.
The second link has been translated from the German Link below.

//In the ur Rhine in Rhineland-Palatinate, Rhenish Hesse archaeologists have found fangs of apes that do not resemble any of the previously known fossils from Europe or Asia. However, the teeth are comparable to African finds, the scientists of the Natural History Museum of Mainz explained in the presentation of the finds on Wednesday.
However: the fossils from the Rhenish Hesse Eppelsheim are 9.7 million years old, i.e. four to five million years older than the African. "This is a great puzzle," said Herbert Lutz, head of the research project.
The Rhineland-Palatinate archaeologist Axel von Berg is sure that the finds will receive a lot of attention. "It will be a marvel from the experts," he said. In Europe, these fossils are unique. According to Berg, the age and the place are certainly determined. Also state archaeology Marion Witteyer holds the teeth for "extremely unusual ".
"The actual work begins now"
The two 9.7 million-year-old jaws and canines are similar to the indications that no genus are from Europe or Asia. But they remembered much younger people from Africa-the diamond shape of the canine and the Zahnmaße. The greatest similarity would be with the famous Lucy (Australopithecus afarensis) and Ardi (Ardipithecus Ardipithecus) from Ethiopia. But that's the wrong place and the wrong time to compare. "Curiosity," found Lutz.
Now the work of the international research community, which is supposed to make a rhyme for these finds, continued Lutz. The results of the Rhineland-Palatinate archaeologists will be uploaded to the research network Researchgate next week. Experts should then examine the enamel thickness and structure of the teeth as well as kinship relationships. "The real work is now beginning," said Lutz.
Fossils very well preserved
In Eppelsheim, archaeologists continue to sift through the sands and gravels, perhaps to find additional teeth or other skeleton parts. Near the two primate teeth, they also found a tooth of a Urpferdes (Hippotherium date), which helped them determine the age of the fossils. The two teeth were found only 60 inches apart, so according to Lutz they belong together. The fossils are fantastically well preserved-even the growth streaks in the enamel are visible.
In the Upper Miocene (about ten million years ago), in the bed of the Great Rhine, Eppelsheim gravel and sands were deposited, which lead to fossils. 1820 was the first finding of a fossil ape. But also many other mammal species were discovered in Eppelsheim, such as a pine of an elephant and a relative of the red Panda. In the excavation, which has been underway since 2001, 6800 fossil remains have been documented and salvaged. Twenty-five species were discovered there for the first time.
