List of Chiroptera from the late Miocene of Slovakia

Despite the lesser preservation of bat fossils compared to karstic sites, fluvio-lacustrine deposits are of crucial importance for assessing the local palaeodiversity of bats. This is confirmed by three faunas from the Late Miocene of Slovakia (Borský Svätý Jur, MN9; Studienka A, MN9; Krásno, MN11) which comprise seven species (Miostrellus noctuloides, Myotis cf. M. murinoides, Miniopterus sp., “Otonycteris” sp., Vespertilionidae gen. sp. indet. 1, Vespertilionidae gen. sp. indet. 2, Rhinolophus cf. R. grivensis). Bats represent approximately 1.40% of the small mammal remains from Borský Svätý Jur, approximately 0.25% of those from Studienka A, and approximately 1.78% of those from Krásno. The MN11 fauna from Krásno consists of six distinct species, which is unusual for a Mioceneaged fluvio-lacustrine deposit. Most likely, this is the consequence of the relatively high frequency of bats in the taphocoenosis, therefore providing a more complete and more accurate picture of the Carpathian..., , , # List of Chiroptera from the late Miocene of Slovakia

List of the Chiroptera from the Late Miocene of Slovakia

The file consists of a list of dento-gnathic elements attributed to the mammal order Chiroptera

Each line represents a different dento-gnathic element. The ID is the identification number of the material, housed at the Department of Geology and Paleontology of Comenius University, Bratislava.

Additionally is provided the locality where each material has been extracted, its identification (i=incisor, c=canine, a=antemolar, p=premolar, m=molar, mand=mandible; Upper elements are indicated with uppercase), its symmetry (l=left, r=right) and its familial, generic and specific attribution.

The right part of the file gathers the measurements of the specimens in millimeters (mm), the protocol of which has been des...,
