In addition, many artifacts and fauna fossils are found. Those findings were kept in a stratigraphy, which was uninterruptedly deposited for more than 2 million years old. Sangiran uniqueness is completed by the presence of several saline water seeps in a field, about 600m eastward from Sangiran Museum. Was Sangiran a marine environment in the past time?
