Albanerpetontidae from the late Pliocene (MN 16 A) Csarnóta 3 locality (Villány Hills, South Hungary) in the collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Szentesi, Zoltán, Pazonyi, Piroska, Mészáros, Lukács (2015): Albanerpetontidae from the late Pliocene (MN 16 A) Csarnóta 3 locality (Villány Hills, South Hungary) in the collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Fragmenta Palaeontologica Hungarica 32: 49-66, DOI: 10.17111/FragmPalHung.2015.32.49, URL: doi.org/10.17111/fragmpalhung.2015.32.49 Abstract – Based on cranial and jaw elements, the presence of Albanerpeton pannonicum species (Allocaudata: Albanerpetontidae) was noticed from the late Pliocene Csarnóta 3 locality (Villány Hills).

Since it is considered a poor fossil site, it had not been sufficiently studied. These fossils represent the geologically youngest record of the species from Hungary. Though, the Csarnóta 3 albanerpetontid assemblage is small the bones are well preserved, and all are informative on species or at least on genus level.
