Abstract: † Palaeocryptonyx hungaricus Jánossy, 1991 (syn: † Eurobambusicola turolicus Zelenkov, 2016) Location and age: Beremend 26; Lower Pliocene (MN15). Material: a proximal left coracoid fragment (omal part) (Figure 2 /4). Dimensions (in mm): coracoid: C—5.5–5.9, D—3.3–3.5, E—3.0–3.2. Description: similar to Gallus bones, quail size. Previous records of the taxon—sites and their age: Rátka, Upper Miocene (MN 12–13) (Kessler 2009b)— complete skeleton without skull; Polgárdi 4, 5, Upper Miocene (MN 13) (Jánossy 1991, 1995); Beremend 26, Lower Pliocene (MN 15) (Kessler 2009b), Beremend 17, 18 Lower Pleistocene (Q1) (Jánossy 1992, 1996). Mátraszőlős 3, Middle Miocene (Horváth 2023). Other than the above, no other sites have been reported. Along with other members of the genus, Mlíkovskỳ (2002) assigned Palaeocryptonyx hungaricus to † Alectoris donnezani (Depéret, 1892), while Zelenkov (2016) renamed it as Eurobambusicola turolicus. This material is not catalogued, it belongs to the Chapel of Reconciliation in Beremend and will be catalogued in their collection.
