Extinct species of deer

Cervalces carnutorum Temporal range: Late Pliocene to Early Pleistocene PreꞒ Ꞓ O S D C P T J K Pg N Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Infraclass: Placentalia Order: Artiodactyla Family: Cervidae Subfamily: Capreolinae Genus: †Cervalces Species: †C. carnutorum Binomial name †Cervalces carnutorum Laugel, 1862

***Cervalces carnutorum***, sometimes known as ***Alces carnutorum***, is an [extinct](/source/Extinction) [species](/source/Species) of large [deer](/source/Deer) that lived in [Europe](/source/Europe) during the [Early Pleistocene](/source/Early_Pleistocene). Fragments were found in the site of [Saint-Prest](/source/Saint-Prest), near [Chartres](/source/Chartres),[1] and described by Laugel in 1862.

The exact position of species within the genera *[Alces](/source/Alces)*, *[Cervalces](/source/Cervalces)* and *[Libralces](/source/Libralces)* is of debate. Many large, prehistoric moose-like cervids were originally placed in *Alces*, but have since been moved to *Cervalces* or *Libralces* by many (but not all) authorities. Both *Cervalces* and *Libralces* have also been used interchangeably with regards to certain species.
