5. Dunafóldvár-FelBÓ' (Upper) Göböljárás 15-20 m northwards from the 1934 finds in the cartroad called Felső Göböljárás leading toward the Solt ferry a new find of mammoth bones was washed out by rain in 1966. Among the bone finds there was also a skull with dentition. After the rescue excavation made by Gy. ROZNER, the bone got into the Balogh Ádám Museum in Szekszárd (ROZNER 1966). 6. Nagymaros-Töröktelek mező hi the second half of the forties of the last century during railway constructions "a whole head of an ancient elephant with its teeth" was found in the depth of 1 m. It could not be saved because of its bad condition (KUBINYI 1864, KOCH 1900). 7. Nagymaros "Kurzer Riegel" On the southern side of the so-called "kurzer Riegel" fragments of a skull and parts of a skeleton were found in gravel below loess (SZABO 1873). The skeleton was certainly in allochthonous position. The find does not exist any more. 8. Hont-Téglavető In 1793 a great quantity of mammoth bones was washed out by rain from a brickyard near Hont (SARTORI 1810, p. 152., TANÁRKY 1814, p.

36., LENGYEL 1893, KUBINYI 1842, 1864, SZABÓ 1873, KOCH 1900). The tusks which came to light from a depth of "4 feet" (1220 mm) disintegrated during the excavations. The remained parts of the skull were transported to the National Museum in 1851 (MNM.GÁO.J.). The skeleton was in allochthonous position, it belonged to a young calf (VÖRÖS in press). 9. Sámsonhaza In 1810 from a ravine of a depth of 2 m two tusks and "a skull with teeth" came to light. The length of the tusk is "8 feet" (2440 mm), that of the skull is "3 feet" (920 mm). It collapsed when it was raised (ZIPSER 1813, BEUDANT 1822, p.

535., KUBINYI 1864, KOCH 1900). 10. Mátraderecske In 1949 from the sand pit situated at the side of the garden of F. ZÁM a skeleton of a mammoth was found In a depth of 2, 5 m (VÉRTES 1954, D ANC ZA 1972, VÖRÖS 1975). The skeleton was lying in autochthonous position on its left side. It was leaning on its tusks and was in an almost vertical position. The length of the tusks was 3200 mm. When he raised the skeleton, DANCZA found a big crudely manufactured chalcedone blade which reminds mostly of the blades of the Early Szeleta culture (VÉRTES 1954, Table II. 3; VÉRTES 1985). In the course of the excavation and later, during the storage the skull collapsed. In the course of mounting of the skeleton the fragments of skull and the missing parts were completed and replaced by plaster of Paris. In 1970 under the direction of D. JÁNOSSY, the skeleton of the mammoth was erected in the exhibition of the Mátra Museum at Gyöngyös by using an inner frame. On the basis of the age determination made by the aid of the size and the degree of abrasion of the molars the mammoth bull perished when he was 50-55 yorsa old (VÖRÖS 1975). The data of the M

3 dext. are in Table 1. 11. Apc-Kavicsbánya (Gravel-Pit) In 1961 a skeleton of a young mammoth waB found in the loess layer of the gravel pit. The rescue excavation was made by D. JÁNOSSY; the finds are in the Paleontological Department of the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Inv.no.: V.79.

52., and V.72.82.). The skeleton was in allochthonous position, the skull was found as fallen into dust (VÖRÖS in press). The mammoth perished when it was 15-20 years old. 12. Hatvan-Sóderbánya (Gravel-Pit) A great quantity of mammoth bones got into the Paleontological Collection of the Mátra Museum from the gravel pit at Hatvan (JÁNOSSY & VÖRÖS 1979, VÖRÖS in press). Among the finds skull fragments of several calves have been also detected. Isolated specimens of M
