COMMENTS
Trogontherium minutum is a frequent but not abundant element of late Astaracian-Early Vallesian faunas in the Carpathian Basin. The published occurences are Felsőtárkány-Felnémet 2/3 and 2/7 (MN 7-8; Hír 2006), Felsőtárkány 3/2 (MN 7-8; Hír 2003), Rudabánya (MN 9; Kordos 2003), Borsky Sväty Jur (MN 9; Sabol et al. 2004) and Götzendorf (MN 9; Bachmayer & Wilson 1984).
