Altamura Man is the 400,000 year old calcified remains of hominid species believed to be Homo heidelbergensis. Altamura Man was discovered in a limestone cave, called grotta di Lamalunga, near the city of Altamura, Italy. The remains are located at the end of a cave’s narrow tunnel and are coated with a calcareous layer of variable thickness which often resembles a coral formation.
