What Wikipedia says

The Altamura Man is a fossil of the genus Homo discovered in 1993 in a karst sinkhole in the Lamalunga Cave near the city of Altamura, Italy. Remarkably well preserved but covered in a thick layer of calcite, taking the shape of cave popcorn, the find was left in situ in order to avoid damage.
