[email protected] Abstract The fossil deer (Cervidae, Mammalia) from Cueva Victoria are described and compared to the other Pleistocene deer from Europe. These fossils belong to a large and a mid-sized species. The large species, represented by 153 fossils, including antlers, teeth and limb bones, is different from the known species of giant deer and the name Megaloceros novocarthaginiensis n. sp. is proposed. The mid-sized species, represented by 34 fossils, is assigned to Dama cf. vallonnetensis.
