The summary of the Late Pleistocene Soricidae remains of the North Hungarian Vaskapu Cave
II and VII localities is given in the present paper. Five species (Sorex alpinus SHINZ, 1837,
Sorex minutus LINNAEUS, 1766, Sorex araneus LINNAEUS 1758, Crocidura russula HERMANN,
1780 and Crocidura suaveolens PALLAS, 1811) were identified in the fauna. The species
composition of the shrew assemblage indicates cold climate with diversified ecotypes in the
mountain surroundings, with forests and open grasslands as well. Also the new location (in the
Stratigraphical Collection of the Department of Paleontology and Geology at the Hungarian
Natural History Museum) with definitive inventory numbers of the formerly published Vaskapu
fossils is present here
