In Tibor Berta’s private collection and a small material by the author, fossil remains ofsix additional chiton species have been distinguished (Leptochiton sulci Bałuk, Parachiton aicanus(Nierstrasz), Lepidochitona cf. lepida (Reuss), Rhyssoplax corallina (Risso), R. olivacea (Spengler),and Acanthochitona lacrimulifera Bałuk). e early Badenian chiton material of Devecser containselements of the typical shallow-water Polyplacophora assemblages of the Central Paratethys. isis the rst record of L. sulci and A. lacrimulifera from Hungary. P. aicanus was also detected onlyrecently for the rst time in Hungary from the nearby Várpalota locality. With 29 gures.
