Abstract
This paper deal with the biostratinomic processes and fossildiagenetic processes which affected the bone rest of Pleistocene age from the Liñares Sur carstic cave. All show that the active processes was creepy remaining the fossil bones close to the original situation of the animal and showing a distinctive intervention of rodents (rooth marks) inmediately after the death of those. The burial was produced by solifluxion which includes bone remains in between clays and shales resulting from the decalcification of the hybrid limestones that constitutes the cave. After this happened the bones were affected by edaphic processes becoming encrusted, patinated and tinged by Fe and Mn oxides.
