Caracal caracal (Schreber, 1776) (Caracal) MATERIAL EXAMINED. — CD 9172, a left 1st metacarpal. DESCRIPTION AND TAXONOMIC ASSIGNMENT This specimen is complete, but heavily encrusted with pyrolusite. From the size (total length = 18.5 mm) and visible morphology it is a good match for caracal. Note that the specimen (CD 324) tentatively identified as a lower carnassial of a caracal in Berger et al. (2003) is the posterior portion of a very heavily damaged P 4 and is not identifiable.
