Cap Blanc Rock Shelter

Cap Blanc is a Magdalenian-era limestone rock shelter in the Vezere Valley, Dordogne [1]. Its 13-metre frieze of relief sculptures depicts horses, bison, and reindeer, with the central horse measuring 2.2 metres long [1] [2] [3]. In 1911, excavators found a nearly complete adult female skeleton (the "Magdalenian Girl") in front of the frieze, exhibiting the earliest recorded case of impacted wisdom teeth [3] [4]. The shelter was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979 as part of the Vezere Valley caves [1].
