This model is a high quality casting of a reconstruction of the Kalvarium skull (KMN ER 406) with a partial mandible (Omo L. 7a 125). The Kalvarium skull is approximately 1.7 million years old and was discovered at Lake Rudolph (now called Lake Turkana) in 1970. The partial mandible comes from a different dig but is clearly from the same species. The classification of the species has not yet been indisputably clarified.
