Three shrew species (Sorex araneus LINNAEUS1758, Sorex minutus LlNNAEUS1766 and
Sorex alpinus SHINZ1837) were found in the fossiliferous sediments of Vaskapu Cave, near
Felsötárkány. The probable stratigraphical position of the sample is Upper Pleistocene,
Pilisszántó Horizon (Upper Würm), about 15,000 years B.P. A cold period of the Late
Pleistocene with wooded environment is indicated by the soricid assemblage
