Cerro Bombero: registro de Hippidion saldiasi Roth, 1899 (Equidae, Perissodactyla) en el Holoceno temprano de Patagonia (Santa Cruz, Argentina)

A new record of Hippidion saldiasi with new radiocarbon data referred to early Holocene (8,850 ± 80 year C-14 B.P) of Patagonia is reported. Both its peculiar geographic location in a scarcely prospected zone and its radiocarbon age, provide new elements to discuss the previous hypotheses about the extinction of the horses and its relations with the human beings that inhabited the different environments of South America.
