Cueva Coro Tracito (Telia Sin, Huesca) el primer yacimiento de alta montaña español de Ursus spelaeus Ros.-Hein. Nota preliminar

Abstract

In this paper we present the first results of metrical analysis of premolar and molar lengths and metacarpal length and width of Ursus spelaeus Ros.-Hein. from Coro Tracito cave, the first cave bear high mountain site in Spain. According to their dental dentition size the Coro Tracito bears can be grouped into de the ?normal sized? cave bears of Spain. Their slender metacarpal bones place them between into the Ismail paw? cave bear group. The lower dentine aspartic add razemization ratios allowd us to date the Coro Tracito cave bear population as a tardy population that probably inhabited the area at the 3 Oxigen Stage Episode
