| 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 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.
