翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Cornelia, Free State ： ウィキペディア英語版 Cornelia, Free State Cornelia is a small town in the Free State province of South Africa. In 1875 D.J. Steyn bought the farm "Mooiheid" and J.D. Odendaal bought the farm "Sugarloaf" (known as Tafelkop) for a sum of R2000. They settled there in 1876. At that time it was in the Harrismith district. There was no boundary fences and wild dogs, warthogs and wildebeest were plentiful in the open grassveld. In 1886 the two farmers and other people formed the Afrikaans Baptist Church and J.D. Odendaal was the first preacher. The Odendaal family made an important contribution to the church. D.J. Steyn donated a piece of land to the church to erect a church building. There was a need for an educational institution and the church founded the school of Cornelia in 1889. In 1894 it was named after the wife of former Free State President Francis William Reitz. One of the previous pastors of the Afrikaans Baptist Church of Cornelia (1959 or 1960) was Jurgens Lambrechts, later well known for appearing in numerous quiz programmes on radio and television from the 1970s to the 1990s. The town is near the ''Skoonriver'' (Clean/Pretty River). ==Fossil discoveries== On the Uitzoek farm, 10 km north of Cornelia, fossils were discovered in Pleistocene alluvial deposits by Van Hoepen in the 1920s and 1930s.〔Butzer 1974; Brink et al. 2012〕 These fossils include extinct mammal forms such as a donkey-sized pig (''Metridiochoerus modestus''), the three-toed horse (''Eurygnathohippus cornelianus'') only previously found in Tanzania, the giant buffalo (''Synerus antiquus''), Bondi's springbok (''Antidorcas bondi''), and the giant wildebeest (''Megolotragus eucornutus'').〔Brink 2005; Brink et al. 2012; Cook 1974〕 Acheulian Stone Age tools such as handaxes and cleavers have also been found here.〔Clark 1974; Brink et al. 2012〕 Recent research document excavations of a fossil bone bed, possibly resulting from the accumulation by hyaenas and redepostion by dongas (i.e., gullies). Associated with the fossil bone bed were a human (''Homo sp''.) tooth and Acheulian artifacts. These deposits are dated to the Jaramillo subchron (1.07 - 0.99 Ma) by paleomagnetism.〔Brink et al. 2012〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cornelia, Free State」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
