Summary

Description
Afrikaans: Skema van die Dinaledi-grotkamer in die Rising Star-grotstelsel naby Swartkrans in die Wieg van die Mensdom. Dit illustreer die geologiese en tafonomiese konteks en verspreiding van die fossiele, sedimente en vloeisteen in die Dinaledi-grotkamer. Die verspreiding van die verskillende geologiese eenhede en vloeisteen word saam met die veronderstelde verspreiding van fossielmateriaal aangedui. Die fossiele het die kamer binnegekom met die afsetting van eenhede 1 tot 3, via die kameringang regs bo.
Eenheid 1 verteenwoordig vroeë sediment wat slegs enkele knaagdierfossiele bevat. Eenheid 2 is sedimente wat aan vloeisteen aan die kamermuur geheg is, en wel fossiele van H. naledi bevat. Eenheid 3 bevat die oorgrote meerderheid fossiele van H. naledi.
English: Cartoon illustrating the geological and taphonomic context and distribution of fossils, sediments and flowstones within the Dinaledi Chamber. The distribution of the different geological units and flowstones is shown together with the inferred distribution of fossil material.
The fossils came into the cave at the time of the deposition of the unit 1, 2 & 3 sediments via the chamber entrance at top right. Unit 1 represents early sediments which contain only some rodent fossils. Unit 2 represents sediments attached to side wall by flow stone, i.e. remnants of early deposits that do contain fossil bones of Homo naledi. Unit 3 represents rubble sediments containing most fossil bones.
