Summary

The variability coefficient proposed by Freudenthal & Cuenca Bescós (1984) for samples of fossil cricetid teeth, is calculated for about 200 samples of fossil and recent murid teeth. The results are discussed, and compared with those obtained for the Cricetidae., Two sections in continental deposits of the Granada Basin, that had hitherto been described as being of Pliocene age, have yielded teeth of three species of Allophaiomys, which means they should be dated as Early Pleistocene., Several new fossiliferous localities were found in the northern part of the Granada Basin. One of these, Purcal 4, yielded a rich fauna of micromammals, that clearly demonstrates an Early Pliocene age of the beds.
