Abstract

AbstractThe Upper Miocene fossil site of Orzola in Lanzarote (Canary Islands) has produced an isolated snake vertebra attributable to the Boidae. This is the first report of a snake, either fossil or living, from these islands, which provides further evidence of a greater faunal diversity in the past.
