• Resumen

  • Bovid fossils constitute rare findings in the Cerro de los Batallones fossil sites. However, maxillar and mandibular remains of a juvenile individual of a large-sized bovid were discovered in Batallones-1. In the present work, we describe these fossils and assign them to the Eurpoean genus Austroportax (Sickenberg, 1829). We name these fossils as Austroportax sp. due to the lack of more diagnostic additional material belonging to this form.
