SK 847 is the abbreviated designation for the fossilized fragments of a Homo habilis cranium, discovered in South Africa, which was dated to an age between 1.8 and 1.5 million years.

[2] SK 847 was discovered on July 23, 1969 in Swartkrans, Republic of South Africa by Ronald Clarke, who is also credited with the discovery of "Little Foot".

It is made up of three separate pieces including facial fragments, a temporal bone, and a maxilla.

The facial features of this specimen contribute anatomical evidence that make anthropologists believe that SK 847 is not part of the australopithecine group.

SK 847 has a relatively short and narrow face, pronounced brow ridge, thick supraorbital torus, a sharp sloping frontal bone, delicate curved cheekbones, a rounded forward projecting nasal bones, an obvious supratoral sulcus, and a moderate constriction of the cranium behind the eye socket.
