Abstract

FIRST RECORD OF ANTIFER ULTRA AMEGHINO 1889 (ARTIODACTYLA: CERVIDAE) IN THE PLEISTOCENE OF ENTRE RÍOS. The first record of Antifer ultra (Artiodactyla: Cervidae) from the Late Pleistocene of Entre Ríos Province (Argentina) is reported. The specimen, belonging to one of biggest deer paleospecies, consists of an almost complete left horn which was recovered from sediments of the Arroyo Feliciano Formation near the locality of Diamante. The finding extends the chronological range of Antifer ultra in Argentina from the Bonaerian (Middle Pleistocene) to the Lujanian Age (Late Pleistocene- Early Holocene)
