Abstract:

Scarce remains of suids have been found in the Miocene layers of the brown coal mine of Bełchatów in Poland. Bełchatów С, representing MN 4, yielded a tooth of Hyotherium soemmeringi. The uppermost layer with Miocene faunal remains, Bełchatów A, containing a fauna indicating MN 9, yielded one tooth of Suidae unsufficient for identification to species and genus.
