“…In the view of Jansen et al (2004) the base of the Maassluis Formation in the east of the Netherlands may date back as far as 3.4 Ma. However, Wesselingh et al (2005) consider the base of the Maassluis Formation to be not older than 2.55 Ma.…”

We describe the occurrence in the Netherlands of three teeth of Mimomys hajnackensis (Arvicolidae, Rodentia) from three separate boreholes extending into marine deposits of the Maassluis Formation. These marine Pliocene/Early Pleistocene deposits at depth are overlain by, and interdigitate eastwards with, the freshwater deposits of the Waalre and Peize Formations (formerly known in part as the Tegelen Formation).Teeth identified as M. hajnackensis have not previously been described from the Netherlands although similar material has been reported from Pliocene deposits in Germany at Frechen and Hambach close to the Dutch border. The material described here comes from boreholes at the Polder de Biesbosch near Dordrecht, Diepenveen and Deventer. To our knowledge, these finds represent the oldest described rodent fossils from the Netherlands, corresponding to an absolute age of 2.9 to 3.3 Ma on the basis of comparison with other European localities, implying that the remains are reworked from older deposits.

We examined Plio-Pleistocene mollusks from the Taihei and Minehama areas in Akita Prefecture with the aim of elucidating the change in faunal composition at Datum A ( . Ma), when glaciers expanded in the Northern Hemisphere. In both areas, the deposits below the Datum A consist of finer sediments than those above. In the Taihei area, species of mollusks were recovered from localities. On the other hand, species were found from seven localities in the Minehama area. In terms of paleobathymetry, the sediments below the Datum A in both areas were deposited in the lower sublittoral zone, while those above the datum were deposited in the upper sublittoral zone. In both areas, the assemblages above the Datum A contain a higher proportion of individuals of cold-water species, despite the fact that they lived in shallower water depths. Moreover, some species now living in Hokkaido and northwards are confined to the upper horizons than the Datum A. In both areas, two Miocene relict species were collected from the deposits below the Datum A. These species might suffer from extinction by the cooling event at the Datum A. The results show that the cooling event at . Ma affected the molluscan fauna in Akita Prefecture.
