Abstract
Equid remains are frequent in Pleistocene deposits. The equid remains studied were from Valdegoba’s cave (Northwestern Burgos, in the northern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) dated to Upper Pleistocene. Morphometric and morphological features of permanent premolars and molars have been investigated. The combination of both metrical and morphological features has allowed us to differentiate two forms in the site. The big one presents the characteristics of caballoid horses and the small one presents the own features of stenoid horses. We have assigned the caballoid material to E. ferus and the stenoid remains to E. hydruntinus.
