| The Czech locality of Merkur-Nord (MN 3) has yielded one species of erinaceid and five species of talpids. The hedgehogs are represented by a few fossils of Galerix only. The talpid assemblage is characterised by a dominance of Mygalea magna. The position of Mygalea within the Desmaninae, which previously had been open to some doubt, could be ascertained. The excellent preservation of the material, including post-cranial remains, allowed the association of humeri to all of the five talpid species. The position of Desmanella, represented by the new species D. gudrunae, as a uropsiline talpid is confirmed, as for the first time a Desmanella dentition could be associated with a uropsiline type of humerus. Overall, the talpid assemblage shows its greatest... |

| Introduction The fossil record of insectivores in Czech Republic comes from two different settings: A. in the stratified deposits in the North Bohemian tectonic rift (the sites; Tuchořice, the Open Mine Merkur-Nord near Chomutov, Dolnice and Františkovy Lázně (Franzensbad), and Β. in the karstic fillings at Suchomasty. The richest occurrence of insectivores is in the coal seam in Merkur Nord; in the thermal spring travertines at Tuchořice the small mammals are generally very rare. Detailed taxonomic descriptions of the faunas are being prepared. The record of fossil insectivores in the Slovak territory of the Western Carpathians are not as frequent as finds of rodents. In spite of it, thus far six out of fifteen sites with a record of Neogene mammals... |
