Remains of at least three species of large aegypiine vultures from early Palaeolithic and Iberomaurusian of Ifri n’Ammar, Morocco are the first substantial fossil record of these taxa in the Maghreb. They can be tentatively referred to the two extant species Aegypius monachus (Cinereous Vulture) and Gyps fulvus (Griffon Vulture), and to the extinct Gyps melitensis. Few fragments of remarkably large bones may belong to especially large specimens of A. monachus, but it cannot be ruled out that they are indeed remains of the so far only insufficiently known palaeospecies A. prepyrenaicus Hérnandez, 2001, originally described from the Upper Pleistocene of Spain. Two vulture species definitely occurred contemporarily; Gyps fulvus was found in the entire sequence, while A. monachus occurred only between 13,800 and 17,000 calBP. G. melitensis was found only once in an unknown stratigraphic context. All remains were found along with human artefacts in a cave deposit. Few bones show longitudinal scratches, which probably are cut marks, indicating that humans made use of the flesh, feathers and/or bones of these vultures. None of these species were previously recorded for the Upper Pleistocene of the Maghreb, and the fossil specimens provide important evidence for the former distribution of Old-World vultures in this area, which is insufficiently known and which changed dramatically during the twentieth century.

摩洛哥伊夫里安玛的早期旧石器时代和伊比利亚古鲁斯人至少有三种大型埃及雕秃v的遗迹是马格里布这些类群的第一个重要化石记录。可以将它们暂时称为两个现存物种Aegypius monachus（灰V）和Gyps fulvus（Griffon Vulture），以及灭绝的Gyps melitensis。很少有特别大的骨头碎片可以属于A. monachus的特别大的标本，但是不能排除它们确实是迄今为止仅鲜为人知的古生物A. prepyrenaicus的遗骸。赫尔南德斯（Hérnandez），2001年，最初描述于西班牙的上更新世。肯定有两种秃鹰是同时发生的。高山兀茅在整个序列中发现的，而A. monachus只有13800 17000 calBP之间发生。棉铃虫在未知的地层环境中仅被发现一次。在洞穴沉积物中发现了所有遗骸以及人类文物。很少有骨头显示出纵向划痕，可能是割痕，表明人类利用了这些秃鹰的肉，羽毛和/或骨头。这些物种以前都没有记录过马格里布的上更新世，而且化石标本为该地区以前的秃v分布提供了重要证据，该分布还鲜为人知，并且在20世纪发生了巨大变化。
