Mammalian and other animals fossil footprints had been found from the Early Miocene beds in Fukui and Hyogo Prefectures since the first discovery from Fukui in 1996. Fossils were found from the Ito-o Formation and the lower part of the Kunimi Formation in Fukui and the Yoka Formation in Hyogo.
Mammalian footprints are identified to that of the three orders (Proboscidea, Pressodactyla, Artiodactyla). From the Yoka Formation a few other animals (Crocodila, Aradeiidae, Gruidae or Ciconida) and a Proboscidan morlar of Stegolophodon sp. were collected.
