The original référence: Kormos (1926), p. 543. pi. 3. figs 1-5. (Polgárdi 2). The other occurrence: Széchenyi Hill (Kretzoi 1980). CONCLUSIONS Unfortunately the présent Soricidae teeth are few and very fragmentary, that is why we can not be entirely sure about the identity of determined spécimens. We can be relatively sure only in Amblycoptus oligodon spécimens, thus the stratigraphical position of the locality should be between the begining of the MN 12 Zone and the end of the MN 13 Zone. Nevertheless, if we accept the shakily identificable spécimens to belong to the named species, we will get more exact date. Because Blarinella dubia occurs from the boundary of the MN 10 and 11 Zones to the middle of the MN 14 Zone, and Petenyia hungarica from the middle of the MN 13 Zone to the Q2 Zone, so their stratigraphical ranges hardly overlap, we can draw important inferences about the probable stratigraphie position of the locality. On the basis of the appearances of Soricidae species we can correlate the Egyházasdengeleg cross-bedded sand with the middle or upper part of MN 13 Zone, Late Turolian (see in Fig. 56.)
