Abstract
Un diente yugal de un elefántido inmaduro fue recogido de un bloque desprendido de las capas T06, caído al fondo de la Trinchera de Atapuerca. Estas piezas son raras en las colecciones; en ellas los rasgos diagnósticos son débiles, y son muy escasas las referencias en la literatura. La pieza no está del todo completa, y se halla en un estado de desgaste avanzado. Se identifica como un último molar de leche, 04, inferior, del género Mammuthus, y se atribuye con alguna duda a una subespecie progresiva de M. tamanensis, - M. m. Voigstedlel1sis", M. m. "cromerensis", etc.-, más bien que a un primitivo M. trogontherii.
An inmature elephant tooth was recovered from a fallen block of rhe TD6 Beds, in rhe Atapuerca Railway Cut, at the foot of Gran Dolina section. Such dental pieces are seldolll collected, theír diagnostic trails are feeble, and are but rarely illustrated in the Iiterature. The 100th is 110t fully preserved; it was al death in a state of advanced abrasion. The observable and comparable numeric traits allow its identification as a last lower milk molar, 04, of the genus MamlJ1l/thus. The piece is assigned, not wi th full security, to a progressive variety of M. meridionalis -either M. m .. "tall1anensis", or M. 111. "voigstedtensis " , 01' "cromerellsis" or similar- more probably than to a primitive variety of M. trogol1r/¡erii.
