Háromkút-Cave — KADIC (KADIC & MOTTL 1944) performed the first excavations in the cave. VERTHS (1965) specified the age of the fauna as Würmian. htál/óskő Cave — The fauna was first described by JÁNOSSY (1952, 1955) and later revised by VÖRÖS (1984). RlNGF.R (2002) perfomed further excavations in order to check the stratigraphy; C

14 data gave an age between 27— 33 ky BP. The approximate stratigraphie positions of the localities are shown in Table 1. The ages of the chronostratigraphic units were taken from the updated Geological Time Scale (GRADSTHIN et al. 2004). Table 1 — The stratigraphie position of localities and the ranges of taxa studied.

Comparaüve investigations were based on 18 individuals of recent Panthera ko, (mainly from East-Africa) and 5 individuals of recent Panthera onca in the Mammalian Collection of the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Further 5 individuals of Panthera leo and 2 individuals of Panthera onca were examined in the Naturhistorisches Museum,Vienna.
