Radoboj (K.K. Montanistischen Collection) (Miocene of Croatia)
Where: Croatia (46.2° N, 15.9° E: paleocoordinates 45.7° N, 15.6° E)
• coordinate based on nearby landmark
• outcrop-level geographic resolution
When: Sarmatian (12.7 - 11.6 Ma)
• Likely early Sarmatian (MN7) in age, based on foraminifera (Bajraktarevic, 1984) and siliceous microfossils (Galovic, 2003) from localities in the vicinity of Krapina.
Environment/lithology: lagoonal or restricted shallow subtidal; lithified limestone
• The deposits of Radoboj are marine deposits accumulated in a shallow epicontinental sea, possibly in a lagoon. In addition to insects, marine fish and algae have been found in Radoboj. The formation of the Pannonian Basin System commenced in the Early and the Middle Miocene as the consequence of the continental collision of the African (=Apulian) and European plates, and deposition in the entire basin was influenced by important extensional tectonics.
Size classes: macrofossils, mesofossils
Preservation: mold/impression, adpression
Collection methods: Repository: Kaiserlich-Königliche Montanistische Museum
