Abstract: The fossil material of Esztramos 6 palaeovertebrate locality has been revised in this study with special regard to its herpetofauna. Result of this study has shown the presence of the species Latonia gigantea and the fauna list of the locality has been expanded by amphibian, reptilian, and mammalian taxa. Considering diff erences of the mammalian fauna the Esztramos 6 lower and upper sites are probably not coeval, however their palaeoenvironment shows similarities. With 23 figures and 1 table.
