A description is given of the fossil small mammal remains that were found during dredging activities in the Oosterschelde estuary, the Netherlands. The following taxa are encountered in the samples: Mimomys pliocaenicus, Mimomys reidi, Mimomys tigliensis, Mimomys newtoni, Trogontherium sp., Beremendia fissidens, Sorex (Drepanosorex) praearaneaus, and Galemys kormosi. The find of one m1 of Microtus oeconomus is considered to be a contamination. The fauna is of Late Pliocene age, and may appear slightly older than the classic Tegelen fauna. In terms of mammal zonation, we consider the age to be MN17. |

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... |
