Identification of ambiguous fossil bone remains following 13C and 15N isotopic signals on bone collagen
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] In this paper we deal with an useful application of isotopic studies on fossil bone remains. Following δ1 3C and δ1 5N signals recorded in bone collagen, it is possible to classify into the proper taxon some ... -
New excavation campaigns in the Upper Pleistocene cave bear site Potocka zijalka, Slovenia - state of investigation
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] Potocka zijalka is a unique site with rich archaeological and palaeontological remains. From 1997 onward new excavation campaigns were carried out in co-operation with the Institute of Geology in Ljubljana and ... -
O Vulcanismo na transição Câmbrico/Ordovícico da Zona Centro-Ibérica na região de Trás-os-Montes (NE Portugal) como elemento de referência estratigráfica
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)The Cambrian/Ordovician transition of the Central Iberian Zone in the region of Trás -os-Montes displays quite distinct features. One is gradational with no noticeable unconformity: Moncorvo (REBELO et al , 1983); S. ... -
Phylogenetic Problems of the Alpine Cave-Bears
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] The metric and morphological characteristics of 23 alpine cave bear fauna are been studied and compared with the normal lowland form. The phylogenetic conclusions are drawn: 3 new subspecies? -
Pleistocene small cave bear (Ursus rossicus) from the South Siberia, Russia
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] The skull, mandibles and cheek teeth of U. Rossicus from four localities of the South Siberia are examined. This species inhabited the steppe regions in early Middle and Late Pleistocene. By odontological ... -
Preliminary report on sediments from Pocala Cave: sedimentological and heavy mineral analysis
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] In 1999 two borings were performedin the area of Pocala Cave, one outside the cave and the other inside in the cave. In particular four samples of the first boring were studied.It seems that mineralogy is strictly ... -
Preliminary report on the Late Pleistocene small mammal fauna from the Loutraki Bear-cave (Pella, Macedonia, Greece)
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] The Loutraki Bear-cave (Northern Greece) yielded a rich Pleistocene fauna including mammals, amphibians and reptiles. In the present study the small mammal fauna associated with cave-bear remains is studied. The ... -
Reflections on the fate of some geomorphological ideas
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] In geomorphology, as in other sciences, investigation is concerned with the collection and characterisation of data, and the generation and testing of working hypotheses. Considering the analysis of landforms ... -
The Evolution of Metapodial Bones in the Cave Bear Group and its biostratigraphical Implications
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] A short description of the methods is followed by some central results obtained from the analyses of metapodial bones in the cave bear group from sites in Austria and Italy. The evolution of metapodials shows, ... -
The problem of the species concept in the phylogeny of the cave bears
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] This a short review of a series of concepts daily used in palaentology, trying to connect them with their meaning in other fields of study in Biology. Firstly, it should be pointed out if the concept of species ... -
The updated record of cave bear and other members of the genus Ursus on the territory of Czech Republic
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] During the 2nd half of 20th century, a succession of new Pleistocene localities was discovered and some classical paleontological sites were revised. From many of those places also bear remains were recorded. ... -
The Ursus spelaeus disappearance archaeologically registered in the Northeast of Catalonia
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)The extinction of Ursus spelaeus remains controversial. In this paper, data from two archaeological sites from NE Iberian Peninsula are presented. Thus, the Middle-Upper Paleolithic term is thoroughly analysed by combining ... -
The wolverine (Gulo gulo L.) in Spain – one of the south most spreading during the Pleistocene
(Universidade da Coruña, 2001)[Abstract] This paper is a contribution to the study of the wolverine (Gulo gulo ) in Europe. The scarce findings of this species in the Iberian Peninsula are described and metrically compared with those living representants ... -
