Biostratigraphic importance of the Early Pleistocene fauna from Żabia Cave (Poland) in Central Europe

The return to the Iberian Peninsula: first Quaternary record of Muscardinus and a palaeogeographical overview of the genus in Europe

“…The second interpretation is based on the possibility that the left M2 belonged to an abnormally small individual. This option The data were taken from Andrews (1990), Aguilar et al (1998), Bertolini et al (1996), Bogicevic et al (2011), Bon et al (1991), Chaline (1983Chaline ( , 1972, Chaline et al (1995), Chatzopoulou et al (2001), Desclaux and Defleur (1997), Dimitrijevi c (1996), Gibbard et al (1991), Hern andez-Fern andez (2000), J anossy (1986), Kolfschoten (1990), Kotsakis (2003), Kotsakis et al (2003), Kowalski (2001), Kowalski and Nadachowski (1982), Kunst (1989), L opez-García et al (2014), Mais and Rabeder (1984), Marchetti et al (2000), Marcolini (2003), Markovi c (2008), Marquet (1989), Maul (1990), Nadachowski (1990aNadachowski ( , 1990b, Nadachowski et al (2011), Paunescu (2001, Popov (1989), Radulescu and Samson (1985), Roebroeks et al (1992), Ronchitelli et al (2011), Socha (2014, Terzea (1994), Valensi and Abbassi (1998). seems improbable due to lack of morphological differences identified in the tooth. Another conceivable scenario is that it belongs to a subadult.…”

Sorex bifidus n. sp. and the rich insectivore mammal fauna (Erinaceomorpha, Soricomorpha, Mammalia) from the Early Pleistocene of Żabia Cave in Poland

“…This extensive limestone area with numer-ous rock-shelters and caves is developed in Upper Jurassic limestone of Oxfordian age. Geological studies of the Żabia Cave deposits showed that they were formed in several sedimentation cycles in the Early Pleistocene, and the character of the sediments indicated several climatic cycles during their deposition (Bosák et al, 1982, Nadachowski et al, 2011.…”

“…The animal remains include slugs, amphibians (toads and frogs), reptiles (lizards and snakes), few birds, and mammals including insectivores, bats, lagomorphs, rodents, carnivores, cervids and bovids. A detailed description of cave morphology and cave deposits can be found in Stefaniak et al, 2009; the profile of the sediments in Bosák et al, 1982 andIvanov, 1997; the first faunal list in Bosák et al, 1982 and more detailed information on fauna in Stefaniak et al, 2009 andNadachowski et al, 2011.…”

Small fossil wolverine Gulo from Middle Pleistocene of Poland

“…During editorial process of this paper a single remain was also found in Middle Pleistocene sediments from Bioenik Cave (MARCISZAK et al 2011), however detailed data on this specimen were not available for the author. Only the remains from¯abia Cave date from the Early Pleistocene (WOLSAN 1989;MARCISZAK 2007;NADACHOWSKI et al 2011). These specimens were described as Gulo schlosseri; the others are believed to belong to Gulo gulo.…”
