We studied ossification macroscopically in 35 Spanish ibex (Capra pyrenaica) appendicular skeletons in order to establish the skeletochronology in both sexes of the species. The age of animals had been determined by means of horn segment counts, teeth replacement and cementum layer counts from first incisors and ranged from <1 to 12 years. Females showed a faster ossification process than males. Moreover, for each age or year class considered, regarding both sexes, different stages of epiphyseal fusion could be found. Therefore, if we try to use data from bone remains in population studies (e.g. differential mortality rates), determination of the ossification stage for ageing bone samples must be carried out with caution.
