Preliminary analysis of M1 of Late Pleistocene and Recent populations of Terricola savii from Italy (Arvicolidae, Rodentia)
No full textThe main object of this research is the study of the variability degree of the first lower molar in Late Pleistocene and living populations of Terricola savii in Italy (whose conspecificity has been proved by genetic analyses) and its comparison with that of fossil populations (assigned to T. savii on a morphological basis) in order to find a way to attribute isolated fossil remains to specific systematic groups. On this basis, we attempted to establish, through different analyses and direct observations on the occlusal dental surface morphology, the relationships that exists between fossil and living populations, and to verify the existence of a temporal and/or geographic cline
Morphological and biometrical defferences in the limb bones of Ursus arctos and Ursus spelaeus and phylogenetical considerations on the two species.

Middle Pleistocene vertebrate fauna from Cretone (Sabina, Latium).
No full textA fossil vertebrates assemblage has been discovered near the Cretone spa (Sabina, Latium). The fauna can be referred to the late Middle Pleistocene (Torre in Pietra F.U., Aurelian Mammal Age). Several taxa of small and large mammals and the avifauna testify temperate-cold climatic conditions and a woody environment with several open spaces

Mammuthus meridionalis (Nesti, 1825) from Campo di Pile (L'Aquila, Abruzzo, Central Italy)
No full textIn the summer of 2009, four molars and two tusks, of a single individual of Mammuthus meridionalis, were discovered at Campo di Pile (L’Aquila, Abruzzo, Central Italy) in a fluvial beach sediments of a depositional sequence dated to the late Early Pleistocene. A new fragmentary tusk of a second individual has been recently discovered not far from the former. In the L’Aquila Basin, southern mammoth remains have been already reported, in the nearby Campo di Pile, at Madonna della Strada-Scoppito, where a complete skeleton of M. meridionalis was found in sediments dating to the pre-Jaramillo Early Pleistocene, while some other isolated remains have been recorded at Rocca Santo Stefano and Colle Mancino. During the early Middle Pleistocene Mammuthus (? M. trogontherii) and Palaeoloxodon co-occurred in the faunal assemblage of Pagliare di Sassa. The Campo di Pile findings can confidently be regarded as intermediate in age between the Madonna della Strada and Pagliare di Sassa ones. Ongoing research on the Campo di Pile site contributes to enhancing our knowledge of the Quaternary fauna and paleoenvironmental evolution of L’Aquila Basin
