Geography
Country:Croatia
Coordinates: 46.2° North, 15.9° East (view map)
Paleocoordinates:45.7° North, 15.6° East
Basis of coordinate:based on nearby landmark
Geographic resolution:outcrop
Time
Period:Neogene Epoch:Miocene
Stage:Serravallian 10 m.y. bin:Cenozoic 5
Key time interval:Sarmatian
Age range of interval:12.80000 - 11.63000 m.y. ago
Stratigraphy
Stratigraphy comments: Likely early Sarmatian (MN7) in age, based on foraminifera (Bajraktarevic, 1984) and siliceous microfossils (Galovic, 2003) from localities in the vicinity of Krapina.
Lithology and environment
Primary lithology: lithified "limestone"
Environment:lagoonal/restricted shallow subtidal Tectonic setting:rift
Geology comments: 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.
Taphonomy
Modes of preservation:mold/impression,adpression
Size of fossils:macrofossils
Collection methods and comments
Reason for describing collection:taxonomic analysis
Collection method comments: May have been collected by Heer himself, but no details are given
