New tiger fossils from Sangiran:

Some months ago someone put a picture of a new tiger fossils, a bone from a limb that was broken, but no more information was provided.

Today I was navigating the internet when I found this article:
https://kebudayaan.kemdikbud.go.id/bpsmp...-sangiran/

Is about a new tiger fossil with several bones in situ, and includes a part of a skull and a femur! Check the image from the article:

A picture of the partial skull was published in AVA years ago, here it is (in the left side):

This is in the Sangiran Museum. By the way, this is not the museum where the tiger skull found by Dr Koenigswald is housed.

I used Google translator and the fossil was found in 2011 and apparently there are more on the way. Now, check also this article:

It seems that the bones has not been published (and I afraid, they never be). So its measurements are still unknown. The article also quote a document in Indonesian language but the pdf says nothing important, check the image of that document:

So there are new tiger fossils in Java from the Pleistocene, but we still need to wait for its publication. Reply
