Geography
| Country: | Slovenia | State/province: | Slovenia |
| Coordinates: | 45.7° North, 14.0° East (view map) | ||
| Paleocoordinates: | 36.0° North, 12.8° East | ||
| Basis of coordinate: | based on nearby landmark | ||
| Geographic resolution: | outcrop |
Time
| Period: | Paleogene | Epoch: | Paleocene |
| Stage: | Thanetian | 10 m.y. bin: | Cenozoic 1 |
| Key time interval: | Thanetian | ||
| Age range of interval: | 59.20000 - 56.00000 m.y. ago |
Stratigraphy
| Geological group: | Kras | Formation: | Trstelj | Member: | Upper |
| Stratigraphic resolution: | group of beds | ||||
| Stratigraphy comments: Corresponding to the Operculina limestones of Pavlovec (1963) and to the upper part of the Miliolid Limestone of Stache (1889). Based on the associated larger foraminifera the age of this collection correspond to the SBZ 4 (Late Thanetian) | |||||
Lithology and environment
| Primary lithology: | tabular lithified "reef rocks" | ||
| Includes fossils? | Y | ||
| Lithology description: the microbial-coral carbonates form massive metric-thick mounds (up to 6 m thick) exposed over a length of 70 m, alternated to foralgal packstones and wackestones. Čebulovica mounds represents either a superposition of several incipient mounds overlain by the foralgal facies or a lateral mound facies representing a transition between the mound core and the lateral deposits. | |||
| Environment: | slope/ramp reef | Tectonic setting: | foreland basin |
| Geology comments: Distal mid-ramp setting affected by storms and currents, likely periodically exposed to enhanced turbidity and nutrient levels | |||
Taphonomy
| Modes of preservation: | recrystallized,original aragonite,replaced with calcite |
| Size of fossils: | macrofossils |
| Preservation of anatomical detail: | medium |
| Abundance in sediment: | common |
Collection methods and comments
| Collection methods: | bulk,peel or thin section,field collection |
| Reason for describing collection: | taxonomic analysis |
| Taxonomic list comments:Derminations done by D.Turnsek from ZRC SAZU, Lubljana | |
