Fig. 1. Geographical position of the locality most cases of the identification, the usage of open nomenclature has been ne­cessary. In spite of these and the relatively low specimen number (35), a rather diverse assemblage can be outlined: Class Gastropoda Worthenia superstes SZABÓ, 1980 Ptychomphalus ? sp . Pyrgotrochus sp . Lewisiella sp . Neritopsis sp . Amberleya ( Eucyclus ) alpina (STOLICZKA, 1861) Amberleya ( Eucyclus ) sp . Eucyclomphalus hierlatzensis AMMON, 1892 ? Oonia pennina (PARONA, 1892) indet spp. (2) Class Bivalvia Entolium ( Entolium ) lunare (ROEMER, 1839) Pseudopecten ( Pseudopecten ) equivalvis (SOWERBY, 1826) Pectinidae spp" (Tl Praeconia sp . indet spp. (4) CONCLUSIONS Pliensbachian gastropods show a definite provincialism in the Western Tethyan Region (SZABO 1988). Three main faunal types are separable, one in the classical "Middle European" and two within the "Mediterranean Province". The taxonomical composition of the Mola Hill gastropods suggests belonging to one of the Mediterranean, the "Alpine" faunal type. All the species, having been identifiable, are characteristic Alpine forms, they have never occurred
