Abstract

The presence of Paleocene in the Dubrovnik Coast (Adriatic Carbonate Platform) is documented by algal flora in the locality Pločice, Konavli. The algal assemblage includes more than 20 species. Ten taxa present in the Paleocene of the Karst (NE Italy-Slovenia) occur in Pločice: Acroporella chiapasensis DELOFFRE, FOURCADE & MICHAUD, Decastroporella tergestina BARATTOLO, Drobnella slovenica BARATTOLO, Dissocladella gracilis RADOIČIĆ Hamulusella? liburnica (RADOIČIĆ), Cymopolia elongata (DEFRANCE) MUNIER-CHALMAS, Cymopolia paronai RAINERI, Cymopolia satyavanti (PIA) Cymopolia cf. barberae ELLIOTT and Microsporangiella buseri BARATTOLO. The stratigraphy of the Konavli carbonate belt has been revised in this study.
