Archaeological
site found by Paul Abell and Mary Leakey in 1976; contains more than 50
hominid footprints made by three individuals, a small individual on the left, a large one on the right, and a third, medium-sized set superimposed on those of the larger individual on the right; the
biomechanics are remarkably similar to those of the modern
human. The footprints were made in
Tuff 7 of the
Laetolil Beds, an airfall
tuff dated 3.75-3.6
mya.
Aka the
footprint tuff, the
G-1 Trail and the G-2/3 Trail.
