Fossil Endocranial Cast of Desmana kormosi Schreuder (Insectivora, Mammalia) from the Pliocene of Poland
Abstract:
The authors give a description of a natural fossil endocranial cast of Desmana kormosi Schreuder, 1940 from the Pliocene fauna of Węże in Poland. They compare this cast with the brains of the two extant species of this subfamily: Galemys pyrenaicus Geoffroy, 1811 and Desmana moschata (L., 1758). The brain of the fossil species resembled the brain of the former in size and that of the latter in proportions.
