Table 10. Distribution of the complex and symple type molars in the investigated materials. Discussion In the recent fauna of Hungary small sized hamster does not exist. But in the fossil materials it is frequent and had been represented by numerous taxa from hte Middle Miocene up to the Pleistocene-Holocene border (JÁNOSSY, D 1979, 1986; KORDOS, L. 1987). The Allocricetus éhiki and Allocricetus bursae are common in the Upper Pliocene and Pleistocene faunas all over in Europe MAUL, L. (1990). SCHAUB, S.
