The lowermost Pleistocene rodent and soricid (Mammalia) fauna from Beremend 14 locality (South Hungary) and its biostratigraphical and palaeoecological implications

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Pazonyi, Piroska, Mészáros, Lukács, Hír, János, Mta-Mtm-Elte, Zoltán Szentesi (2016): The lowermost Pleistocene rodent and soricid (Mammalia) fauna from Beremend 14 locality (South Hungary) and its biostratigraphical and palaeoecological implications. Fragmenta Palaeontologica Hungarica 33: 99-134, DOI: 10.17111/FragmPalHung.2016.33.99, URL: doi.org/10.17111/fragmpalhung.2016.33.99 Abstract – The limestone quarry of Beremend yielded the classical Late Pliocene and Early Pleistocene vertebrate faunas studied for more than a century.

The Beremend 14 site was discovered in the 1970s by Dénes Jánossy. Twenty four small mammal species and twenty seven elements of herpetofauna were identified from its rich vertebrate material. Based on the taxonomical study of small mammals, we suppose that the stratigraphic position of the site is the Early Pleistocene MN 17 Zone.
