Cervus sp.

Gasparik, Mihály & Pazonyi, Piroska, 2018, The macromammal remains and revised faunal list of the Somssich Hill 2 locality (late Early Pleistocene, Hungary) and the Epivillafranchian faunal change, Fragmenta Palaeontologica Hungarica 35, pp. 153-178 : 168

Cervus sp.

( Fig. 46 )

Material – Layer 7: Upper molar fragment (VER 2018.2615.).

Layer 8: 2 teeth fragments (V.83.15).

Layer 31: Right humerus fragment (VER 2018.2699.) ( Fig. 46 ).

Remarks – The remains were described by JÁNOSSY (1999) as Cervus cf. acoronatus , but the very fragmentary specimens do not allow such precise identifications. Their only usable feature is their size on the basis of which the specimens probably belonged to a deer similar in size to Cervus elaphus .
