Resumen:
Within a plan of studies on paleodiet and the extinction of Pleistocene fauna of western Argentina (Dacar et al. 2001; García 1999, 2003), analyses of coprolites attributed to Hippidion sp. from the sites Los Morrillos (31° 43` S, 69° 42` W, 3000 m a.s.l.) and Gruta del Indio (34° 45` S, 68° 22` W, 660 m a.s.l.) contributed important information about the diet of this extinct species. Microhistological studies were made of 3 coprolites from Los Morrillos and 12 from Gruta del Indio, and results were compared in order to determine the level of coincidence of the dietary components.Hippidion sp. from the sites Los Morrillos (31° 43` S, 69° 42` W, 3000 m a.s.l.) and Gruta del Indio (34° 45` S, 68° 22` W, 660 m a.s.l.) contributed important information about the diet of this extinct species.
