Crâne original d’un individu juvénile de l’espèce "Australopithecus africanus", dit fossile de l’"Enfant de Taung" ("Taung child"), exposé à l’université du Witwatersrand à Johannesburg, en Afrique du Sud. Découvert à Taung en Afrique du Sud en 1924, il a permis à l'anthropologue australien Raymond Dart de définir en 1925 un nouveau genre d'hominidé, les Australopithèques et une nouvelle espèce, "Australopithecus africanus".
