Resumen

The lignite mine of Alcoy (Alicante, Spain) is a classic macro mammal locality that was already known before 1845. This locality was placed in the Upper Miocene by several authors, but it was placed in the Pliocene by others. The fauna includes a suid, that helps to date the locality. During the long period that the suid was known it has been determined as Hyotherium soemmeringi. Korynochoerus palaeochoerus and Sus arvernensi. It also might represent Korynochoerus provincialis. The material studied by us belongs to Korynochoerus palaeochoerus. There are four species of importance for dating Alcoy: K. palaeochoerus, Dicerorhinus schleiermacheri, Hipparion gromovae and Hipparion crassum. The first three species are thought to have their last occurrence in MN 13, the last species is thought to have its first occurrence in MN 13. Alcoy is placed in MN 13 - the Upper Miocene.
