The eruption took place 10 million years ago. At that time, a crater lake was formed, which was visited by numerous animals. Fossil discoveries of 13 ancient horses, antelopes and rhinos provide evidence of the subtropical climate of the time. The fossils were excellently preserved in the lake sediment.
