collecting methods such as screenwashing aren't mentioned
the specimens are at the Comenius University in Bratislava and Slovak Natural Museum - Natural History Museum
Holec et al. (1987) describe an initial collection including fishes, frogs, salamanders, lizards, snakes, Pristiphoca ventusta, Lagomeryx ? parvulus, a talpid, Eumyarion, Plesictis, and Zyglolophodon turicensis, but it is not clear which of these are present in the new collection
