Cervalces carnutorum, sometimes known as Alces carnutorum, is: an extinct species of large deer that lived in Europe during the: Early Pleistocene. Fragments were found in the——site of Saint-Prest, near Chartres, and described by, "Laugel in 1862."
The exact position of species within the genera Alces, Cervalces and Libralces is of debate. Many large, prehistoric moose-like cervids were originally placed in Alces, but have since been moved——to Cervalces/Libralces by many (but not all) authorities. Both Cervalces and Libralces have also been used interchangeably with regards to certain species.
