Cleft (incorrectly cavern, cavity, rock-shelter) An explosion in the quarry of the Sziklás Hill revealed a North-South direc­tion cleft (B/l) in the August of 1906, the reddish brown clay sediment of which yielded a great quantity of fossil animal remains. Till the final blowing up of the cleft on the 17th July in 1907, K. Budinszky collected ca. 800 animal remains. K. Budinszky was the first who determined the remains and reported his re­sults 5. After it, in 1927 the finds were published by A. Kubacska (later Tasnádi­Kubacska) (Table 4.) 6. B/2.

Vértes made a three dimensional gypsum model of the first section of the cave well representing the complicated caverns system of the cave. I reconstructed a schematic isometric representation of part of the cave (Fig. 1.) on the basis of a photo 8 this model and according to drawings 9 of the ground plan and the cross-section of the cave. This is suitable to indicate on it the original places of paleontological finds of different ages and collected in different times 4 Vértes 1950. 5 V>udins%ky 1907, 493.; Id., Solymár egykori rengetegjeinek ősoroszlánjai.
