Salzofen Cave

Salzofen Cave is an archaeological site in Styria, Austria [1]. In 1924 two hunters, who had taken shelter in the cave from a storm found several fossilized bones in the entrance area [1]. They handed them over to Otto Körber, a local school principal from Bad Aussee [1]. Körber visited the site on the next day and immediately began to dig, progressing almost 100 m until summer, unearthing large amounts of bone fossils [1].
