La Roma

La Roma is a Miocene fossil site in the Teruel Province of Spain.^[1]

A micropaleontological analysis of the digestion and diet of hyenas of the latter part of the Miocene age was made possible from a large sample of coprolite in the La Roma 2 site.^[2] A species of Hipparion from the later Vallesian was found at La Roma 2.^[1]

Bones of the rhinoceros Dicerorhinus schleiemacheri in La Roma 2 and Masia del Barbo in the Teruel region were exceptionally larger than the upper range for the species as specified by Guérin (1980).^[3]

Excavation of two sites assigned to

MN 10 contained the youngest example of the Semigenneta (Viverridae) and the oldest Ursidae (bear) genus Indarctos.^[4]
