Abstract

Two new fossiliferous localities with macromammals from the Upper Miocene of Crevillente (Alicante, Spain) are studied. Crevillente 15 and Crevillente 16 are geographically very close and have provided similar fossil assemblages dated as Middle Turolian (MNI2).
The stratigraphic position of these localities has been related to Crevillente 2, which is the most important locality in the general area. The lithologic interval that includes both new outcrops has also been described.
The paleontological study of the macrommamal remains allows us the identification of the following taxa: Simocyon sp., Paramachairodus cf. orientalis. Machairodus giganteus. Microstonys major. Cervidae indet., Tragoportax gaudryi, cf. Hispanodorcas sp., Hipparion concudense cf. aguirrei. Dicerorhinus schleiermacheri. Deinotherium cf. giganteum and Tetralophodon longirostris.
This work supplies new data concerning the, hitherto poorly known, Turolian mammal assemblages in the eastern margin of the Iberian Peninsula.
