Within the scenario of large extra dimensions, the Planck scale is lowered tovalues soon accessible. Among the predicted effects, the production of TeV massblack holes at the {\sc LHC} is one of the most exciting possibilities. Thoughthe final phases of the black hole's evaporation are still unknown, theformation of a black hole remnant is a theoretically well motivatedexpectation. We analyze the observables emerging from a black hole evaporationwith a remnant instead of a final decay. We show that the formation of a blackhole remnant yields a signature which differs substantially from a final decay.We find the total transverse momentum of the black hole event to besignificantly dominated by the presence of a remnant mass providing a strongexperimental signature for black hole remnant formation
