Latonia gigantea (Lartet, 1851) remains and other herpetological observations from the middle Pleistocene Esztramos 6 locality (Aggtelek-Rudabánya Mountains, North Hungary)

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Szentesi, Zoltán (2019): Latonia gigantea (Lartet, 1851) remains and other herpetological observations from the middle Pleistocene Esztramos 6 locality (Aggtelek-Rudabánya Mountains, North Hungary). Fragmenta Palaeontologica Hungarica 36: 141-158, DOI: 10.17111/FragmPalHung.2019.36.141, URL: doi.org/10.17111/fragmpalhung.2019.36.141 Abstract – The fossil material of Esztramos 6 palaeovertebrate locality has been revised in this study with special regard to its herpetofauna.

Result of this study has shown the presence of the species Latonia gigantea and the fauna list of the locality has been expanded by amphibian, reptilian, and mammalian taxa. Considering differences of the mammalian fauna the Esztramos 6 lower and upper sites are probably not coeval, however their palaeoenvironment shows similarities. With 23 figures and 1 table.
