"3.2.1. Equus algericus
Bagtache et al. (1984) described a caballine horse (Equus algericus) from late Quaternary deposits of Les Phacochères (AKA Allobroges) in Algeria. Equus algericus has since been reported from the Neolithic and Aterian deposits at El Harhoura 1 in Morocco (Aouraghe and Debénath, 1999; Aouraghe, 2004; Monchot and Aouraghe, 2009). Its occurrences at this site range in age from the middle Holocene (5400 ± 290 14C yrs BP= 6683 to 6805 cal yrs BP) to N66.5 ± 5.2 ka (Raynal and Occhietti, 2012). Little is known about its paleoecology, although like most large species of Equus it was probably a bulk grazer that preferred open habitats."
