Weather of Arabia - Australian geologist Paul Hosfield found a 6,000-year-old skull in Papua New Guinea in 1929, which may have been a victim of a tsunami .

Scientists analyzed geological sediments in the area, and found strong evidence of a tsunami occurring there, indicating a possible cause of death for the owner of the skull .

In the research published in the journal " PLOS ONE ", researcher Mark Goltico of the University of Notre Dame confirmed that they took samples from the sediments in the area for re-analysis in order to determine the age and date of sedimentation.

The researchers found a large number of remains of single-celled aquatic organisms called diatoms, a large group of algae and one of the most famous types of phytoplankton in the seas and oceans .

The researchers found that the chemical traces and samples taken from the sediments indicate the occurrence of a tsunami that led to many victims, similar to what happened as a result of the 1998 tsunami that killed 2,000 people .
