1989-1992 sample:
1 fragment of right C.
DESCRIPTION
A fragment of a right upper canine is reported to a Pantherine (F9.C.226). The general size of the fragment suggest a large size species like leopard
Panthera pardus
or cave lion
Panthera
(
Leo
)
spelaea
but the intense surface modification (dissolution) and the difficulty to take any measurements do not allow us to make precise attribution. Consequently this speciment is related to
Panthera
sp.
