A mammal assemblage discovered in a small fissure filling in the Surconis area, near the village of Bolotana (Marghine mountain range, central-western Sardinia, Italy) is described herein. The association is composed of several taxa: Prolagus sardus, Microtus (Tyrrhenicola) henseli, Rhagamys orthodon, Cynotherium cf. sardous and Praemegaceros (Nesoleipoceros) cazioti. The analysed assemblage infers a Late Pleistocene or Early Holocene age (“Microtus [Tyrrhenicola]” Faunal Complex). The Surconis assemblage represents to date the richest fossil mammal site reported in the Marghine mountain range.

Abstract
A mammal assemblage discovered in a small fissure filling in the Surconis area, near the village of Bolotana (Marghine mountain range, central-western Sardinia, Italy) is described herein. The association is composed of several taxa: Prolagus sardus, Microtus (Tyrrhenicola) henseli, Rhagamys orthodon, Cynotherium cf. sardous and Praemegaceros (Nesoleipoceros) cazioti. The analysed assemblage infers a Late Pleistocene or Early Holocene age (“Microtus [Tyrrhenicola]” Faunal Complex). The Surconis assemblage represents to date the richest fossil mammal site reported in the Marghine mountain range.
