Introduction
This chapter concerns Neogene (Miocene and Pliocene) insectivores from The Nether- lands. The same biogeographical and tectonical realm, i.e. the southeastern part of the North Sea Basin, also has several sites in the western part of Germany, but these locali- ties are discussed in the chapter on Germany (Ziegler et al., 2005). Most of the region concerned was covered by (often shallow) seas during most of the Neogene. A late Miocene coastline can be reconstructed as running in a SW-NE direction from Antwerp (Belgium), Liessel (The Netherlands, province of Noord-Bra- bant), Uedem/Kevelaer (Germany, Land Nordrhein-Westfalen), to Miste/Winterswijk (The Netherlands, province of Gelderland) by the finds of glauconitic greensand-de- posits containing shells and the skeletons of (beached?) whales (e.g. Hampe, 1996; Bol, 2000; Peters & Monteiro, 2005, and literature therein). No continental deposits are to be expected northwest if this line. Only during Late Pliocene and Pleistocene times the coastline recedes in a northwestern direction, in times leaving the North Sea more or less dry during climate-induced regressions (e.g., during the Late Weichselian). As far as I can reconstruct, the oldest fossil insectivores from The Netherlands were found in the late 1830’s after a well was drilled in the town of Gorinchem (Schreuder, 1941). There, some postcranials and a fragmentary mandible of Desmana were brought to light from a depth of 109 m. The remains were originally described as Viverra [= Galerix] exilis (Harting, 1853), but were recognized as a desman by Schreuder (1941). Since that time, Neogene fossils from The Netherlands were restricted for a long period of time to material from the clay pits in the Tegelen area (Kortenbout van der Sluys & Zagwijn, 1962; Freudenthal et al., 1976; Reumer, 1984; Rümke, 1985; Roders, 1987). It needs to be noted that in most literature Tegelen is considered of Pleistocene age, due to the tendency of many Dutch stratigraphers to place the Plio/Pleistocene boundary at c. 2.5 Ma. Based on international standards Tegelen needs to be considered as latest Pliocene and thus to be included in the present overview. From the western part of the country, a few borings brought scant material to light (e.g., Schreuder, 1939, 1943; Van der Meulen & Zagwijn, 1974). Only during the last decades have Neogene fossil mammals (including
114 Reumer. The Netherlands. Scripta Geol., Spec. Issue 5 (2005)
insectivores) been found in greater abundance in the Oosterschelde dredgings as the result of the invention of the ‘Van Veen tube’ by Mr Joop van Veen of Teylers Museum in Haarlem (Reumer et al., 1998, 2005, see also De Vos et al., 1998), and especially in the Zuurland boreholes that were so skillfully drilled by the amateur geologist Mr Leen Hordijk (Hordijk, 1988; Reumer, 2003).

Introduction
This chapter concerns Neogene (Miocene and Pliocene) insectivores from The Nether- lands. The same biogeographical and tectonical realm, i.e. the southeastern part of the North Sea Basin, also has several sites in the western part of Germany, but these locali- ties are discussed in the chapter on Germany (Ziegler et al., 2005). Most of the region concerned was covered by (often shallow) seas during most of the Neogene. A late Miocene coastline can be reconstructed as running in a SW-NE direction from Antwerp (Belgium), Liessel (The Netherlands, province of Noord-Bra- bant), Uedem/Kevelaer (Germany, Land Nordrhein-Westfalen), to Miste/Winterswijk (The Netherlands, province of Gelderland) by the finds of glauconitic greensand-de- posits containing shells and the skeletons of (beached?) whales (e.g. Hampe, 1996; Bol, 2000; Peters & Monteiro, 2005, and literature therein). No continental deposits are to be expected northwest if this line. Only during Late Pliocene and Pleistocene times the coastline recedes in a northwestern direction, in times leaving the North Sea more or less dry during climate-induced regressions (e.g., during the Late Weichselian). As far as I can reconstruct, the oldest fossil insectivores from The Netherlands were found in the late 1830’s after a well was drilled in the town of Gorinchem (Schreuder, 1941). There, some postcranials and a fragmentary mandible of Desmana were brought to light from a depth of 109 m. The remains were originally described as Viverra [= Galerix] exilis (Harting, 1853), but were recognized as a desman by Schreuder (1941). Since that time, Neogene fossils from The Netherlands were restricted for a long period of time to material from the clay pits in the Tegelen area (Kortenbout van der Sluys & Zagwijn, 1962; Freudenthal et al., 1976; Reumer, 1984; Rümke, 1985; Roders, 1987).
