New Late Pleistocene locality of the Alpine Ibex (Capra ibex L.) (Mammalia: Bovidae) in Bulgaria.

There were a total of 12 localities of fossil Alpine Ibex (Capra ibex) in Bulgaria till now, all of Late Pleistocene. Most of them were from the West part of Stara Planina Mountain. The paper reports the easternmost cave locality of this species from the Pchena Cave (Tvardishki Balkan area, Stara Planina Mnt.), near the town of Tvarditsa. The find represents a cranial fragment, bearing the horn shafts. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
