Abstract

Sima del Uro (NW, Spain) is a cave that although it has been developed in limestone, it has morphological characteristics defined by the recent tectonic activity in the area. Inside this cave it has been discovered a quality important paleontological fini-Holocene deposit that does not correspond, as is usual in the area, with a cave of hibernation or room but it was developed by the fauna fallen from the outside in the trap defined by a doline of collapse. This work presents the morphological cartography of the cavity that indicates the situation of the paleontological remains found.
