New Pliocene localities with micromammals from the Czech Republic: a preliminary report
The first well defined Pliocene mammalian faunas in the Czech Republic – found at localities Měňany 3 and Vitošov – are reported herein. Pilot samples from the localities have yielded an assemblage of at least 23 taxa of small mammals (Lipotyphla, Chiroptera, Lagomorpha, and Rodentia). The key taxa...

| description | The first well defined Pliocene mammalian faunas in the Czech Republic – found at localities Měňany 3 and Vitošov – are reported herein. Pilot samples from the localities have yielded an assemblage of at least 23 taxa of small mammals (Lipotyphla, Chiroptera, Lagomorpha, and Rodentia). The key taxa <i>Mimomys hassiacus</i>, <i>M</i>. cf. <i>gracilis</i> (an advanced form), <i>Baranomys</i>, and <i>Germanomys</i> in the assemblage suggest age of the fauna is Pliocene, possibly near the Ruscinian – Villanyian (MN15b – MN16a) boundary.

Die ersten gut definierten Säugetierfaunen des Pliozäns – aus Měňany 3 und Vitošov – werden hier zum erstenmal untersucht. Die ersten Proben lieferten eine Fauna von 23 Säugetiertaxa der Ordnungen Lipotyphla, Chiroptera, Lagomorpha und Rodentia. Die biochronologisch wichtigen Formen <i>Mimomys hassiacus</i>, <i>M</i>. cf. <i>gracilis</i> (eine fortschrittliche Form), <i>Baranomys</i> und <i>Germanomys</i> unterstützen die Alterseinstufung der Fauna an der Grenze des Ruscinium – Villanyium (MN15b – MN16a).
