Abstract

The first micromammals are described from Eppelsheim, one of the classic localities of the Dinotheriensande (sands withDeinotherium) of Rheinhessen. The Dinotheriensande are the earliest deposits known of the Rhine river south of the Rhenian Slate Mountains (“Rheinisches Schiefergebirge”).Plesiosorex roosi n. sp. is described as new. The evolutionary stage ofPlesiororex roosi andCrusafontina kormosi suggests that the Eppelsheim fauna is somewhat older than Dorn-Durkheim 1 (MN 11) but younger than Can Llobateres 1, Rudabanya, and Hammerschmiede (MN 9).
