“…Based on sporomorphs ( Juhász, 1979 ; Juhász, 1983 ), foraminifers and ostracods ( Császár, 1986 ), the age of the Tés Clay Formation is Middle–Upper Albian. The stratigraphic record therefore indicates a Lower Albian age for the Alsópere Bauxite Formation ( Császár, 1986 ; Császár et al, 1993 ; Császár, Fözy & Mizák, 2008 ).…”

“…The Alsópere Bauxite Formation occurs in small lenses with a maximum thickness of 5–7 m and was deposited on the karstic surface of the Upper Triassic Dachstein Limestone and in some places on the eroded surface of Liassic limestones. Its lithological features are best represented by the stratigraphic column of the Ot-84 borehole at Olaszfalu ( Császár et al, 1993 : Fig. 5).…”

Background. The Cretaceous of southern Europe was characterized by an archipelago setting with faunas of mixed composition of endemic, Laurasian and Gondwanan elements. However, little is known about the relative timing of these faunal influences. The Lower Cretaceous of East-Central Europe holds a great promise for understanding the biogeographic history of Cretaceous European biotas because of the former proximity of the area to Gondwana (as part of the Apulian microcontinent). However, East-Central European vertebrates are typically poorly known from this time period. Here, we report on a ziphodont crocodyliform tooth discovered in the Lower Cretaceous (Albian) Alsópere Bauxite Formation of Olaszfalu, western Hungary.Methods. The morphology of the tooth is described and compared with that of other similar Cretaceous crocodyliforms.Results. Based on the triangular, slightly distally curved, constricted and labiolingually flattened crown, the small, subequal-sized true serrations on the carinae mesially and distally, the longitudinal fluting labially, and the extended shelves along the carinae lingually the tooth is most similar to some peirosaurid, non-baurusuchian sebecosuchian, and uruguaysuchid notosuchians. In addition, the paralligatorid Wannchampsus also possesses similar anterior teeth, thus the Hungarian tooth is referred here to Mesoeucrocodylia indet.Discussion. Supposing a notosuchian affinity, this tooth is the earliest occurrence of the group in Europe and one of the earliest in Laurasia. In case of a paralligatorid relationship the Hungarian tooth would represent their first European record, further expanding their cosmopolitan distribution. In any case, the ziphodont tooth from the Albian bauxite deposit of western Hungary belongs to a group still unknown from the Early Cretaceous European archipelago and therefore implies a hidden diversity of crocodyliforms in the area.
