The Solymár Cave was managed by the Alpine Department of Tourists Club in Budapest (Budapesti Turista Egyesület Alpesi Osztálya) supervised by the Solymár Committee of the Speleological Socitey founded in 1926. The first paleontological collecting was made in 1939 in the Denevér-terem (A/5) by Győző Vértes (later known as László Vértes, the paleolithic archeologist). In the summer of 1942 Gy. Vértes continued his research in the cave on Dr. O. Kadic's authority, who was the President of the Hungarian Speleological Society. During his work in 1942 "a complete skeleton of an elk" was found in that part of the cave which is called Kiskörút (Small Avenue, A/7a., Fig. 1.). The study of the elk bones and of other finds made clear that the „bone deposit" was originated from the „Preglacial period" while some remains of cave bear and other mammal finds found in the cave clay of the Pihenő (Landing, A/9) and from the Denevêr-terem (Bat Hall), in deeper parts of the cave, were thought to be originated from the "Glacial period"

2. The remains of the elk and other animals had got into the Paleontological Department of the Hungarian National Museum. In 1943 the Museum asked Gy. Vértes, to collect further material from the Solymár Cave.
