title = "New insights on the fossil mammals from Casal de{\textquoteright}Pazzi (Rome)",
abstract = "The mammal fauna from Casal de{\textquoteright}Pazzi (Rome) has been listed in several papers during the past decades, but a detailed taxonomic study has never been published. In this paper, the specimens retrieved or still embedded in sediments from the musealized area of the Casal de{\textquoteright}Pazzi site are described and compared for the first time. The morphological and morphometric analyses allow the detection of the following taxa: Palaeoloxodon antiquus, Canis cf. lupus, Crocuta cf. spelaea, Equus sp., Stephanorhinus kirchbergensis, Hippopotamus cf. amphibius, Sus scrofa, Cervus elaphus, Dama dama, and Bos primigenius. The studied remains, although comprising a small sample compared to those collected in situ during excavations, represent an important record in the context of the Middle Pleistocene faunal assemblages of the Roman Basin.",
