Abstract

Remains of a mammoth from the late middle Pleistocene fluvio-lacustrine deposits outcropping along the flow of the Conca river (Cattolica, Romagna, Italy), are described. The material is referred to M. cf. primigenius, wich represents a new element of the Conca fossil mammal fauna, attributed by Conti et al. (1982) to the penultimate cold stage. The morphometric characters of the Conca mammoth do not exclude the possibility it belongs to a more primitive form than typical late Pleistocene M. primigenius.
