Middle Miocene Tonnoidea and Ficoidea (Caenogastropoda) assemblages from Letkés (Hungary)

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Kovács, Zoltán, Vicián, Zoltán (2017): Middle Miocene Tonnoidea and Ficoidea (Caenogastropoda) assemblages from Letkés (Hungary). Fragmenta Palaeontologica Hungarica 34: 75-104, DOI: 10.17111/FragmPalHung.2017.34.75, URL: doi.org/10.17111/fragmpalhung.2017.34.75 Abstract – Taxonomic composition of highly diverse early Badenian (early Langhian) Tonnoidea and Ficoidea assemblages from Letkés (Börzsöny Mts, Hungary) is given.

Four Ficus species and 23 tonnoid species are described, including Semicassis szilviae n. sp. designated here. Four taxa represent new records from the Badenian of Hungary: Turritriton grundensis (Hoernes et Auinger), Bursa ranelloides (Reeve), Bursa corrugata (Perry), and Personopsis grasi (Bellardi in d’Ancona). Miocene stratigraphical and palaeogeographical ranges of the studied species are summarized.
