Microfossils and brachiopods from the Lower Barremian at Prekonozi, eastern Serbia

Abstract

This paper presents the results of an integral biostratigraphical study based on orbitolinids and other benthic foraminifers, brachiopods and algae of a part of the Prekonozi section, eastern Serbia. The species identified are: Paracoskinolinal jourdanensis Foury & Moullade, P. sunnilandensis (Maync), Orbitolinopsis debelmasi Moullade & Thieuloy, Alpillina antiqua FOURY, Pfenderina globosa FOURY, Mayncina bulgarica Leug, Peibernes & Rey, Charentia cuvilleri Neumani and other foraminifers, and brachiopods: Cyclothyrisl pancici (Antula), Sellithyris sella (J. DE C. Sowerby), Dictyothyris elongata Smirnova, and Psilothyris tamarindus (J. de C. Sowerby). The examined limestones based on orbitolinids, are assigned to the Lower Barremian, earlier dated Upper Barremian/Lower Aptian.
