  • Kirkdale Cave is a cave and fossil site located in Kirkdale near Kirkbymoorside in the Vale of Pickering, North Yorkshire, England. The cave was discovered by workmen in 1821, and was found to contain fossilized bones of a variety of mammals not currently found in Great Britain, including hippopotamus (the farthest north any such remains have ever been found), elephant, and the remains of numerous cave hyenas. William Buckland analyzed the cave and its contents in December 1821: he determined that the bones were from the remains of animals brought into the cave by hyenas who had been using it for a den, and not a result of the Biblical flood floating animal remains in from distant lands as he had first thought. His reconstruction of an ancient ecosystem from detailed analysis of fossil evidence was admired at the time, and considered to be an example of how geo-historical research should be done. The cave was extended from its original length of 175 metres (574 ft) to 436 metres (1,430 ft) by Scarborough Caving Club in 1995. A survey was published in Descent magazine. (en)
  • カークデール洞窟(カークデールどうくつ、Kirkdale Cave)はイギリス、ノース・ヨークシャーの谷にある Kirkbymoorside 近くで1821年に発見された洞窟である。ゾウやカバ、サイ、ハイエナ、野牛、大鹿や小型の哺乳類や鳥類の骨が発見された。この洞窟はカバの骨の見つかった北限の場所である。 ウィリアム・バックランドはこれらの骨を研究し、1823年に著書 Reliquiae Diluvianae(副題:Observations on the organic remains contained in caves, fissures, and diluvial gravel, and on other geological phenomena, attesting the action of an universal deluge)を出版し、これらの骨がノアの洪水でこの洞窟近くに運ばれ、洞窟に住むハイエナが洞窟へ運んだと結論した。 これらの標本はの考古学展示の最初の収集品となり、この発見がもたらした科学的な興味がの設立を導いたといわれている。 カークデール洞窟は学術研究重要地域 (Site of Special Scientific Interest) に指定され、地質学的保全地域に指定されている。 (ja)
  • Kirkdalegrottan (Kirkdale Cave) är en grotta i Kirkdale nära Kirkbymoorside i , North Yorkshire, England. Grottan upptäcktes av stenbrottsarbetare 1821 och innehöll fossiliserade ben av olika däggdjur som inte längre finns i Storbritannien, bland dem flodhäst (det nordligaste flodhästfynd som gjorts), elefanter och ett flertal grotthyenor. William Buckland undersökte grottan och dess innehåll 1822 och hans slutsats var att benen i grottan kom från rester av djur som släpats dit av hyenorna som använt den som lya och inte som ett resultat av en biblisk översvämning som transporterat dit djur från fjärran länder som man först trodde. Hans rekonstruktion av ett urtida ekosystem genom detaljerad anlys av bevis i form av fossil beundrades av samtiden och betraktades som ett exempel på hur geohistorisk forskning skulle bedrivas. Grottans längd utökades från ursprungligen 175 m till 436 m av Scarborough Caving Club 1995 och en redogörelse publicerades i Descent Magazine. (sv)
