The first Pleistocene fossil mammals from Albești (Teleorman County), and additional Megaloceros specimens from the Dacian Basin (southern Romania)

Summary/Abstract: This paper describes the first fossil remains discovered in the detritic deposits that crop out along the Burdea River, at Albeşti (Teleorman County). The specimens described in this paper are assigned to proboscideans (Mammuthus meridionalis) and to cervids (Megaloceros giganteus). Along with the specimens from Albeşti, two other specimens are presented, found in Upper Pleistocene deposits near Bucharest, that have never been described previously in scientific literature. The taxa from Albeşti indicate both Lower Pleistocene and Upper Pleistocene deposits are present in the sedimentary succession found along the Burdea River.
