Some insectivore (Mammalia) remains from the Late Miocene locality of Alsótelekes (Hungary)

Abstract

Six Insectivora species (Plesiosorex sp., Florinia ef. stehlini, Allosorex ef. stenodus, Crusafontina endemica, Miosorex sp., Soricinae gen. et sp.) were found in the Alsótelekes Late Miocene fossil material. The incectivores allow for an allocation into the Early Vallesian MN 9 Zone. The fauna is indicative of humid, forested vegetation. The taphonornic features of the teeth suggest long transport by water before the lacustrine accumulation of the remains
