• Peter HOLEC

Abstract:

Fossil-bearing beds from Strekov and Nova Vieska have yielded the following mammal species: Trogontherium sp., Pliocrocuta perrieri, Dicerorhinus megarhinus, Dicerorhinus jeanvireti, Dicerorhinus etruscus etruscus, Hipparion sp., Anancus arvernensis, Mammut borsoni, ?Archidiskodon meridionalis, Cervidae indet., ?Libralces sp., ?Alces sp. ?Bos sp., ?Bison sp., Sus sp. On the basis of the species composition it is suggested that the fauna is of allochtonous and heterochronous origin and of Pliocene and Lower Pleistocene age.
