| Summary: | (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) A rich Mid-Vistulian (Late Pleistocene) fauna of vertebrates (dated 33430 ± 1230 years BP) was discovered in the Central Carpathians, It consists of fish remains, one amphibian, one reptile, 38 taxa of birds and 33 mammal species. The faunal composition indicates a park-steppe and/or forest-steppe biome abundant in humid environments. Both hydrophilous and typically steppe species were found; they evidence a much more diverse community as compared with the extant faunal composition in the Carpathians. This palaeofauna yielded five species of birds (Branta leucopsls, Otis tetrax, Limosa limosa, Lanius excubitor, Turdus iliacus) and one of mammals (Sorex cf. kennardii new to Poland.
