Where: Spain (42.7° N, 0.3° W: paleocoordinates 42.7° N, 0.3° W)
• coordinate stated in text
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Late/Upper Pleistocene (0.1 - 0.0 Ma)
• One of these bones was 14-C dated, providing an age of 12,770 ± 60 BP. This suggests that the deposit was formed in the uppermost part of the Pleistocene, just before the transition to the Holocene, a moment of important climatic changes
• bed-level stratigraphic resolution
Environment/lithology: cave; unlithified siliciclastic sediments
Size class: macrofossils
Collection methods: sieve
