The vast majority of early hominid fossil from Java is cranial material. The second one only occurs in the eastern part of the belt. Note the similarity of the lithofacies shown here to the prolific hominid bearing sandstone pictured in Photo 7. The plant remains, which include leaves, wood, nuts, and fruit, as well as pollen and spores, represent rain forests, swamp forests, mangrove forests, disturbed forests, montane forests, and deciduous forest, and possibly the existence of grass-dominated landscapes. The vertebrates include nonhuman primates - orangutan, gibbon, macaque, and leaf monkey.
Carnivores are tiger, leopard, large-tooth cat, hyena, wild dog, bear, otter, and civet.
Elephantids include both elephant and Stegodon. Anteater, turtle, crocodile, and fish also occur. Porcupine, rabbit, rat, and several bird genera are also known. The fauna of Java lacked horses, camels, and giraffes - elements common in Eurasia.
