Goose flight, Natural monument and paleontological site near Pavlodar, Kazakhstan.
The Goose Flight site stretches across an 800-meter section along the eastern bank of the Irtysh River near Pavlodar's railway bridge.
Paleontologist Yuri Alexandrovich Orlov discovered the location in 1928 when he noticed geological formations containing bone fragments and mammal teeth.
Scientists have identified fossils of more than 60 different animal species at this location, including Chilotherium, Samotherium, Machairodus, and Lagomeryx.
The site received official state protection status in 1971 and now features an open-air museum established in 2019 for public education.
The deposits at this location date back approximately 4.5 million years, making it one of the largest Hipparion fauna burial sites in Central Asia.
