Abstract

[Abstract] During the 2nd half of 20th century, a succession of new Pleistocene localities was discovered and some classical paleontological sites were revised. From many of those places also bear remains were recorded. Nine localities provided large material of bear remains in good stratified layers. Bear record from Moravian localities were studied in details by Prof. R. MUSIL from Brno. This paper presents a review of updated knowledge on this localities - especially about their stratigrafical position (based on micromammalian evidence) and basic information on bear remains studied.
