The "Dinotherium-Museum" in Eppelsheim holds fossil remains of mammals from deposits about ten million years old from the prehistoric Rhine near Eppelsheim. These deposits are known as the Deinotherium Sands, because they often contain teeth and bones from the extinct proboscid deinotherium.
Besides the dinotherium fossils, the femur of a "Paidopithex rhenanus" was found in the area in the 19th century. This was a now-extinct catarrhine primate.
In 2017, researchers reported finding teeth of an ape dating to about 9.7 million years ago. The teeth seem to belong to a kind of ape similar to Lucy ("Australopithecus afarensis"), but that animal first appeared in Africa more than 4 million years later.
