Panthera sp. (Figs 37–42) Material – Layer 8: Left P 3 fragment (V.83.21) (Figs 37–38). Layer 22b: Right dP 3 fragment (VER 2018.2628.) (Figs 39–40); – 2 left deciduous I 3; left deciduous I 2; deciduous upper incisivus; right deciduous I 2; 8 fragments of deciduous teeth (VER 2018.2636.). From mixed deposits: Right anterior phalanx II digiti II (VER 2018.2686.) (Figs 41–42). Remarks – The rather scanty and fragmentary material allows only very uncertain identification. On the basis of their dimensions and comparing the Somssich Hill 2 big cat specimens with equivalent specimens of Panthera onca gombaszogensis (Kretzoi) from Gombaszög (Gombasek) one can suppose that the Somssich Hill 2 specimens belong to this species.
