Abstract

The dental remains of insectivorous small mammals from the early Oligocene locality of Balm have been studied. Earlier publications mentioned the presence of Erinaceidae and Soricidae in the fauna. The present revision shows that two species of Didelphidae (Marsupialia) and undetermined representatives of the placental taxa Nyctitheriidae and Microchiroptera are found. -Author
