  The Lovelock gravity extends the theory of general relativity to higher
dimensions in such a way that the field equations remain of second order. The
theory has many constant coefficients with no a priori meaning. Nevertheless it
is possible to reduce them to two, the cosmological constant and Newton's
constant. In this process one separates theories in even dimensions from
theories in odd dimensions. In a previous work gravitational collapse in even
dimensions was analysed. In this work attention is given to odd dimensions. It
is found that black holes also emerge as the final state of gravitational
collapse of a regular dust fluid.
