In this way a buried paleokarst originated. The fauna from the paleokarst fillings is known as Mikrotia fauna after the endemic murid of the region (initially named \"Microtia\", with a c, but later corrected, because the genus Microtia was already occupied). Later, after the regression and continentalization of the area, a second karstic cycle started in the late Early Pleistocene, the neokarst, which removed part of the paleokarst fill."@en .
