Abstract

Small-mammal remains are found in three outcrops in the open pit lignite mine near Bugojno (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Despite the low amount of specimens, two Democricetodon species, which differ in size, are identified. The co-occurrence of two Democricetodon species is common in many late early and middle Miocene European small-mammal assemblages. The presence of both D. mutilus and D. gracilis allows a correlation to MN4–MN6.
