The rise and fall of the Iberian cobras (Elapidae, Naja) in the context of their European and global fossil record

Very few remains of elapid snakes are known from the Iberian Peninsula, but these include a probable endemic extinct species of cobra, Naja iberica from the Late Miocene. We here describe isolated cobra vertebrae from several Middle-Late Miocene localities in the Vallès-Penedès Basin (Catalonia, Spa...
