26 HANKÓ, with the Holsteinian Interglacial. Uppony I — The rock-shelter of Uppony I. is the remnant of a former large cave. The type fauna of "Upponyian phase" within the Middle Pleistocene was revised by KORDOS (1994), who separated the older (Holsteinian) layers 7—8 from the younger (Rissian) layers 1—6. Paks — In the loess-quarry of the Paks brickyard 8 paleosoil layers in a 20-25m thick loess sequence were recorded. PÉCSI (1993) correlates the loess layers with Rissian and Würmian Glaciations. S^uhogy-Csorbakő— This is a shelter-cave in the quarry at Szuhogy village. The cave fill was divided into three E. P. levels. The two low T er layers were rich in larger mammal bones. The age of the fauna is Holsteinian-Rissian (JÁNOSSY & VÖRÖS 1985). Kövesvárad — The shelter-cave was discovered by D. JÁNOSSY in 1955. The fauna was described by JÁNOSSY (1963, 1986) and its age was correlated with the Mimomys savini partial range zone. Solymár-Ordöglyuk Cave — The fossils came from the infilling sediment of the shaft near the entrance of the cave. The fauna, revised by Jánossy, indicates a late Middle Pleistocene age (JÁNOSSY 1986, VÖRÖS 1988). Figure 1 — Sketch map of the localities. Tokod-Nagyberek — The locality is situated in a freshwater limestone section. The bones came from loess and palaeosoil layers intercalated between thick banks of the limestone. Early collections provided a fauna of the Würmian age (JÁNOSSY 1971, 1986). Later (1990-1992) GASPAR1K made excavations at Tokod-Nagyberek in a deep ravine from deposits of a tetarata basin succession that is probably identical with JÁNOSSY's locality. GASPARIK (1993) published two faunas of different ages from the locality. The upper layers provided a cold climate fauna from the Würmian glaciation, but the lower (major) part of the loess intercalation, where the larger mammal bones came from, is older and contained an interglacial fauna. Recently, MESZOELY & GASPARIK (2002) concluded that this older, warm climate fauna represents the Eemian (RissianWürmian) interglacial (-100-110 ky BP). According to GASPARIK (pers. comm.), after the Eemian the upper freshwater-limestone beds became fragmented because of tectonical movements, and the Würmian fauna was washed into the succession through a fissure opened. Szelim Cave — GAÁL (1934) distinguished two parts in the upper diluvial level. The fauna is typical of the Tokodian phase within the Würmian Glacial. Kiskunfélegyháza — Panthera leo spelaea specimens came from a sandpit and got to the Hungarian Geological Institute. According to the inventory, their age is Late Pleistocene. Kiskevély Cave — The fauna of this cave was referred to Tokodian/Subalyukian phase within the Würmian Glacial (JÁNOSSY 1986). Igric/Pestere Cave — The fossil assemblage represents a typical glacial (Würmian) fauna with elements as Crocuta spelaea, Panthera leo spelaea, Ursus spelaeaus (KORMOS 1914).
