The Calaveras Skull (also known as The Pliocene Skull) was a human skull found by miners in Calaveras County, California, which was purported to prove that humans were in North America as early as the Pliocene, and used to support the idea the humans, mastodons, and mammoths had coexisted. It was later revealed to be a hoax, although it is now known that humans, mastodons, and mammoths had indeed coexisted, but much more recently (the Pleistocene). Coincidentally, calaveras is the Spanish word for "skulls".

(ko) Калавера́сский че́реп — окаменелый человеческий череп, обнаруженный шахтёрами в Калаверасе, штат Калифорния, США, в 1866 году и якобы доказывавший сосуществование в Калифорнии людей, слонов и мастодонтов. Находка черепа вызвала значительные научные и теософские дискуссии. Позже было доказано, что он являлся мистификацией, и этого мнения придерживается абсолютное большинство учёных. Ныне Калаверасский череп считается одной из самых известных археологических фальсификаций, статья о нём была опубликована ещё в 11 издании Энциклопедии Британники. (ru) Czaszka z Calaveras – sfałszowane szczątki prehistorycznego człowieka odnalezione rzekomo w 1866 roku w hrabstwie Calaveras w Kalifornii. Czaszka miała zostać wykopana w lutym 1866 roku, w trakcie prac górniczych prowadzonych na południowy wschód od Sacramento, w znajdującej się pod pokładami lawy warstwie na głębokości 40 metrów. Przesłano ją następnie Josiahowi Whitneyowi, geologowi z Harvard University, który po przebadaniu tej skamieniałości uznał ją za autentyczną. Kopalne szczątki człowieka pochodzące z głębokich osadów plioceńskich miały potwierdzać tezę, iż kontynent amerykański jest zasiedlony co najmniej tak długo jak Azja i Europa. (pl)
