  We examine the LHC phenomenology of quantum black holes in models of TeV
gravity. By quantum black holes we mean black holes of the smallest masses and
entropies, far from the semiclassical regime. These black holes are formed and
decay over short distances, and typically carry SU(3) color charges inherited
from their parton progenitors. Based on a few minimal assumptions, such as
gauge invariance, we identify interesting signatures for quantum black hole
decay such as 2 jets, jet + hard photon, jet + missing energy and jet + charged
lepton, which should be readily visible above background. The detailed
phenomenology depends heavily on whether one requires a Lorentz invariant,
low-energy effective field theory description of black hole processes.
