**Special Containment Procedures:** Each SCP-7887 item is stored within a Standard Object Containment Cube at Site-409. Research regarding the origins and utilizations of the objects is ongoing.

**Description:** SCP-7887 is a collection of ancient objects, relics, and miscellaneous effects recovered from a shallow cave near Sargodha, Pakistan. The interior of the cave, coated in a thick layer of wax and animal fats, contains several clay bricks of unknown origin -- as well as partially intact //Ambulocetus//[[span class="fnnum"]].[[/span]][[span class="fncon"]]An extinct genus of amphibious cetacean that lived during the Eocene.[[/span]] skeletal remains.

SCP-7887 objects (designated SCP-7887-1 through SCP-7887-43) are composed of common materials, and appear only several thousand years old, despite radiocarbon dating methods having confirmed that each instance exceeds thirty-five million years of age. It is unclear how the items remained intact for this amount of time, or how they were created.
