Taxonomic assignment of fox remains from La Adam Cave (Constanța County) and Stoieni Cave (Mehedinți County), using upper dentition morphology and morphometry
The genus Vulpes is represented in the Upper Pleistocene deposits from Europe by fossil remains belonging to three taxa: Vulpes lagopus (arctic fox), Vulpes corsac (corsac fox), and Vulpes vulpes (red fox) (Kurtén, 2007). Following the excavations carried out in the late 1950s, the Upper Pleistocene fossil-bearing sediments from La Adam Cave (southeastern Romania) yielded specimens belonging to all of the above-mentioned species (Dumitrescu et al., 1963; Dumitresco et al., 1965).
