First record of Discinidae brachiopods from the Miocene of Hungary

This dataset contains the digitized treatments in Plazi based on the original journal article Dulai, Alfréd (2017): First record of Discinidae brachiopods from the Miocene of Hungary. Fragmenta Palaeontologica Hungarica 34: 63-74, DOI: 10.17111/FragmPalHung.2017.34.63, URL: doi.org/10.17111/fragmpalhung.2017.34.63 Abstract – Although Discinidae brachiopods are rare components of Neogene benthic assemblages, several records were published from the Miocene of the Central Paratethys (Poland, Ukraine, Czech Republic, Austria, and Bulgaria).

However, until now discinid brachiopods have never been mentioned from Hungary. Recently, remains of one species, Discradisca cf. polonica (Radwańska et Radwański, 1984) were found at two Middle Miocene (Badenian) localities of the Bakony Mts. Two fragments were discovered in old washed samples (Pusztamiske Formation) from the Szabó sand pit of Várpalota in the collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum, Budapest.
