Abstract

The revision of the Early Pleistocene collection from the site of Monte Argentario (southern Tuscany, Italy), housed at the Istituto Italiano di Paleontologia Umana (Roma), revealed the occurrence of a mostly complete left horn core, attributable to a small-middle size bovid species corresponding to the genus of Asian origin Soergelia (Soergelia sp. cf. Soergelia minor). This is the first finding of the genus in the Italian Peninsula. The Monte Argentario fauna associated with Soergelia includes the African origin saber-toothed tiger Megantereon whitei and other Late Villafranchian species. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd and INQUA.
