abstract:
The Kosmos Museum of the University of Pavia (Lombardy, N. Italy) keeps a large amount in
fossils coming from the most important fossiliferous localities in Europe and numerous bones
coming from the Pleistocene alluvial sediments of the Po river and its tributaries. Among these the
fossils ascribed to the Rhinceratidae are surely suggestive. In this study a revision of the specimens
of this family stored within the Kosmos are sudied and are different taxa individuated contrarily to
what was believed about the mere presence of Stephanorhinus hemitoechus.
