Family Bufonidae GRAY, 1825 Genus Bufo LAURENTI, 1768 Bufo bufo (LINNAEUS, 1758) (Figure 3: A) Material — Osztramos 1/c: 1 vertebra, 1 sacral vertebra, 1 scapula, 2 humeri, 5 ilia (HNHM. No. V.99.8); Osztramos 1/e: 1 vertebra, 1 humerus, 1 ilium (HNHM. No. V.99.9). Description and comments — The fragmentary ilia belonged to specimens of two size categories. The tuber superius is situated above the acetabulum, is compressed laterally, and slighdy divided in 2—3 tubercles. In all the specimens the preacetabular fossa is lacking. The other elements are damaged, and only tentatively are assigned to this species. Bufo viridis LAURENTI, 1768 (Figure 3: B) Material — Osztramos 1 /b: 3 fragmentary skulls, 1 atlas, 1 vertebra (HNHM. No. V.99.10); Osztramos 1/c: 2 fragmentary skulls, 1 ilium, 1 urostyle (HNHM. No. V.99.11). Description and comments — The frontoparietal is always fused with the prootic and exoccipital. The supraorbital canal is not closed posteriorly, similarly to a specimen coming from the Late Miocene (MN 13) Polgárdi 5 locality (VENCZEL 1997: fig. 14). A fragmentary ilium, which belonged to a large individual, has a distinct preacetabular fossa. An extinct species with close affinities to B. viridis is B. priscus, known from the Middle Miocene (MN 6) of Devinska Nova Ves locality (SPINAR et. al. 1993), and probably from the French Middle Miocene, too (SANCHÍZ 1998, and references therein). However, it could be mentioned that the type material of B. priscus originally was assigned to Bufo cf. viridis by HODROVA (1988: fig. 4). Figure 3 — Bufo bufo (A), B. viridis (B), Rana sp. (C, D) and Pseudopus pannonicus (E—H) from Osztramos 1. — A ilium (Ol/c), B: fragmentary skull (Ol/b), C: squamosal (Ol/b), D: ilium (Ol/b), E, F: trunk vertebra (Ol/b), G: frontal (Ol/c), H: dentary (Ol/b). — A, Q D. lateral views; B, E: dorsal views; F, G: ventral views; H: medial view. Family Ranidae GRAY, 1825 Genus Rana LINNAEUS, 1758 Rana sp. (Figure 3: C, D) Material — Osztramos 1/b: 2 frontoparietals, 1 scapula, 1 squamosal, 1 presacral vertebra, 2 sacral vertebrae, 15 ilia (HNHM. No. V.99.12); Osztramos 1/c: 2 presacral vertebrae, 1 scapula, 1 urostyle, 1 premaxilla, 7 ilia (HNHM. No. V.99.13); Osztramos 1/e: 3 premaxillae, 1 squamosal, 3 sacral vertebrae, 2 scapulae, 18 ilia (HNHM. No. V.99.14). Description and comments — The remains are damaged to various degrees and have belonged to smallsized specimens. Based on the morphology of the ilium we can presume that the majority of the specimens might belonged to Rana Id. esculenta, and only few of them could belonged to brown frogs (R dalmatina or R arvalis). However, the morphology of the squamosal (Figure 3: C) approaches the condition seen in recent R dalmatina.
