Resumen:
In this presentation we analyze bone modifications(skeletal representation, breakage, and tooth marks)produced by two native carnivores from the Pampas ofSouth America: Pampean fox (Lycalopex gymnocercus)and geoffroys cat (Leopardus geoffroyi). The mainobjective is to identify the modification patternscharacteristic of these two species. Both carnivores were fed with rabbits and the non ingested bones were analyzed. Skeletal representation, as well as size,morphology, and location of the tooth marks wereregistered and compared using digital images and GIS.Our results will contribute to distinguish carnivoreinduced bone modifications from other formationprocesses.
