英文摘要: The exceptional discovery of a complete and extraordinary well-preserved skull of Stephanorhinus kirchbergensis (Jäger, 1839) on an alluvial bar of the Po river near Spinadesco (Cremona, Lombardia, Northern Italy) in July 2013 presented us with the opportunity for reporting on the specimen. The thorough morphometric and morphological analyses carried out on the specimen (dentition included) revealed typical characteristics of S kirchbergensis - also known as "Merck's rhinoceros". These peculiar tracts highlighted distinctive taxonomic characteristics which are useful for reassessing the classifications of the specimens found in adjacent areas up to now.In this paper, the distinguishing characters are discussed privileging the morphological features rather than the metrical characteristics also if the dimensions of the skull are significative. The adopted criteria, employed for the first time by Loose (1975), were used also for comparing the skull from Spinadesco with other fossil rhinoceros skulls discovered in the Po Valley adjacent areas: the Dicerorhinus hemitoechus falconeri (. Azzaroli, 1962) from Mezzana Rabattone (Zinasco, Pavia), the Dicerorhinus hemitoechus aretinus (. Azzaroli, 1962) from San Colombano al Lambro (Milano), and the Dicerorhinus hemitoechus intermedius from the Torrente Stirone studied by Cigala-Fulgosi (1976).Up to now, S.kirchbergensis appears to be a rather rare species on the vast Eurasian landmass as few fossils have been found in a relatively limited number of localities. Furthermore, there are generally not available chrono- or biostratigraphic data. © 2014 Elsevier Ltd.
