We have studied the fossil Rhinocerotidae from Buñol (Valencia, Spain). It is realized as stratigraphic synthesis of the deposit and dated as Orleanium Mammal Age (lower-middle Aragonium), which is equivalent to the 4b Neogene MammaL Unit (zonation of Mein, 1976). We conclude that the fossil association is a thanatocoenosis, with strongly rounded elements. The paleoenvironment, in which this association was accumulated, was a marsh zone in the distal part of an alluvial fan. Two species of Rhinocerotidae have been determined, one of the ,genus Acerotherium and another of the genus Dicerorhinus. The second is more abundant than the former and probably it would be adapted to a marshy habitat. We describe and figure the more representative material of both species.
