the total fauna includes "two species of continental gastropods, three species of Amphibia, ten species of Reptilia, one bird, fifteen species of large mammals and twelve species of small mammals: one lagomorph, two insectivores and nine rodents" but only the rodents are described; "large mammals" presumably includes ungulates and carnivores, whereas "Amphibia" and "Reptilia" could mean anything
