This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Botka, Dániel, Mészáros, Lukács (2018): Taxonomic and palaeoecological review of the Soricidae (Mammalia) fauna from the late Early Pleistocene Somssich Hill 2 locality (Villány Hills, Southern Hungary) Eötvös Loránd University, Department of Palaeontology,. Fragmenta Palaeontologica Hungarica 35: 143-151, DOI: 10.17111/FragmPalHung.2018.35.143, URL: doi.org/10.17111/fragmpalhung.2018.35.143 Abstract – The present paper is the concluding part of the series describing the Soricidae fauna of the late Early Pleistocene Somssich Hill 2 locality, Southern Hungary.

The assemblage includes 9 shrew forms: 3 Sorex, 2 Crocidura, 2 Beremendia, 1 Asoriculus, and 1 Neomys species. The taxonomic results of the study are summarized, and some new ecological conclusions drawn from the layer-by-layer overview of the specific composition of the fauna are presented here. The forms of cold grassy vegetation dominate in most of the strata, but the indicators of warm grasslands also appear in some layers.
