Resumen:
Results of paleoparasitological examination of rodent coprolites are present. The faeces were collected from excavations at the paleontological site "Los Altares", Chubut Province, Patagonia, Argentina. Each coprolite was processed, rehydrated, homogenized, spontaneously sediment and examined using light microscope. Coprolites and eggs were described, measured and photographed. Samples were positive for eggs of Heteroxynema (Cavioxyura) viscaciae and an unidentified oxyurid (tentatively attributed to Helminthoxys) (Nematoda: Oxyuridae); and for 3 morphotypes of anoplocephalids (Cestoda: Anoplocephalidae). Coprolites were dated at 2210 ± 70 yr B.P. to present. This is the first paleoparasitological study carried out on this site.
