Oldest fossilised animal food store

According to Official Guinness Records,

In November 2003 a team of scientists from the University of Bonn, Germany, announced their discovery of a 17 million-year-old fossilised rodent burrow containing more than 1,200 fossilised nuts. The animal responsible was probably a hamster or a squirrel. The team was led by Dr Carole Gee (Germany) and the work was published in the journal Palaeontology.
