Abstract


An elephant fossil was found in a cave close to Buena (Asturias, Spain). It was identified as Elephas antiquus (Falconer & Cautley). This initial study is based on the morphological and metrical characteristics of a femur and an hemipelvis. These fossil remains belong to a grown-up quite complete animal which is still waiting for its extraction. According to chronology, we allocate this finding to the last interglacial period.
