The first well preserved, articulated skeleton of a young male deer of <i>Megaloceros verticornis</i> (Dawkins, 1868) was excavated from early Middle Pleistocene sediments of the clay pit of Bilshausen (Unter-Eichsfeld, Lower Saxony). This find made it possible, for the first time, to establish, using cladistic techniques, the systematic position of <i>Megaloceros verticornis</i> among Pleistocene and Holocene plesiometacarpal and telemetacarpal cervids. By contrast to the antler and tooth characters, the postcranial characters, in particular, are suitable for phylogeny reconstruction. <i>Megaloceros verticornis</i> from Bilshausen shows great similarity with <i>M. giganteus</i> of the Upper Pleistocene of Europe in its skeletal morphology,...
