content: Gray/brown plastic cast cranium and mandible of AL 444-2. This large male skull was found at the same locality as the famous Lucy skeleton. It is much bigger than the skull of Lucy and other females of this species, indicating there were differences in body size between the sexes. The cranium and mandible are mostly complete, however, missing pieces are indicated in orange. AL 444-2 is about 3 million years old.
