The bovid from the Carriça clay-pit (Coja): a discussion

Abstract

Key-words: Bos taurus - Modern Contemporary - Côja - Portugal. A Bovid tooth referred to in the litterature as from the same locality that yielded upper Eocene mammals belongs to a modem or probably contemporary Bos taurus (domestic cattle); it is not a fossil and certainly was not found in situ. As it may induce in confusion, it must not anymore be taken into account in future paleontological and stratigraphic work.
