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 : 167

Homotherium sp.

( Figs 33–34 )

Material – Layer 5: Right I 3 fragment (V.82.100) ( Figs 33–34 ).

Remarks – The single incisor remain is unsuitable for sure and precise identification, but its dimensions and the age of the locality suggest that it represents the smaller Homotherium latidens Owen.
