Summary:A review of previously published palaeontological data, jointly with new discovered fossils, allowed to stablish that the older fossils into detritic endokarstic deposits in the studied area are of Lower to Medium Pleistocene age, being located in caves of the southern side of the Central Range. In caves of the northern side, fossils with ages from Medium Pleistocene have been found. The mentioned chronological difference could be due to the fact that the endokarst at the southern side of the Spanish Central Range was earlier that in the northern side accessible to animal species that used it as a refuge
