Abstract

Fosilni ostatci vrste Marmota marmota (Linnaeus, 1758) pronađeni su u gornjopleistocenskim naslagama Pećina u Brini, nedaleko od Drniša. Od ukupno 233 skeletna elementa, njih 219 pronađeno je u istočnoj, a 14 u zapadnoj Pećini u Brini. Nadalje, u cijelom uzorku 119 ostataka pripada dugim kostima. Prema morfologiji dugih kostiju razvrstane su 23 adultne, 33 subadultne i 63 juvenilne kosti planinskog svisca. Proučavani fosilni materijal je nakon mjerenja uspoređivan s izmjerenim recentnim kostima. Uspoređivan je samo adultni skeletni materijal, a rezultati mjerenja uvršteni su u odgovarajuće tablice kako bi se lakše uočile i objasnile morfološke razlike između fosilnih i recentnih marmota.

Abstract (english)

The fossil remains of the species Marmota marmota (Linnaeus, 1758) were found in the Late Pleistocene deposits of the Pećine u Brini caves near Drniš. From the whole sample of 233 skeletal elements, 219 were found in the eastern and 14 in the western cave. Furthermore, 119 elements belong to the long bones. According to the long bone morphology, there are 23 adult, 33 subadult and 63 juvenile bones of the alpine marmot. Studied fossil material was compared to the measured bones of the recent animals. Only the adult skeletal material was compared, and the measurement results are presented in the appropriate tables. Morphological differences between the fossil and recent marmots on the base of the skeletal elements are explained and presented as well.
