Fossil Zapodidae (Rodentia, Mammalia) from the Pliocene and Quaternary of Poland
Abstract:
Remains of Protozapus intermedius Bachmayer et Wilson 1970 occur at Podlesice (Lower Pliocene) and those of Sminthozapus janossyi Sulimski 1962 at Węże 1 and Rębielice Królewskie 1 (Astian and Lower Villafranchian). Some nondescript remains of Zapodinae have been found in Zamkowa Dolna Cave (Middle Villafranchian). The genus Sicista Gray 1827 is present starting from the Villafranchian and next in the localities of the Early and Late Pleistocene. The complicated structure of the molars likens the fossil remains of Sicista from the localities in Poland to the modern species Sicista betulina (Pallas 1778).
