Nuevos datos sobre los macromamíferos turolienses de Crevillente (Alicante)

New finds of large mammal fossils in Crevillente-2 (Alicante) increase the diversity of Lower Turolian macromammals in Spain. The site is equivalent in age to Piera (Vallés Penedés, Catalonia) whose faunal remains have been so far the base for the knowledge of Spanish Lower Turolian large mammals. M...

Sumario:New finds of large mammal fossils in Crevillente-2 (Alicante) increase the diversity of Lower Turolian macromammals in Spain. The site is equivalent in age to Piera (Vallés Penedés, Catalonia) whose faunal remains have been so far the base for the knowledge of Spanish Lower Turolian large mammals. Main similarities between Crevillente-2 and Piera are in the presence of the same species of Plioviverrops, Hipparion, Dicerorhinus, Microstonyx, Birgerbohlinia and Tragoportax. The proboscidean abondance, the absence of Aceratherium, the different carnivore faunal association, the presence of a second giraffid and the cervids, in Crevillente, mark the differences with the catalonian site
