Abstract

This article presents results of detailed palynological study in the Lower Cretaceous Kašajina River Beds (Klokočevac, NE Serbia) and its importance for the geology of NE Serbia. On the basis of the biostratigraphic analysis of fossil spores, pollen grains and dinoflagellates, investigated beds are most probably of Lower Cretaceous age (mainly Valanginian-Hauterivian). The paleoecological results suggest humid and subtropical conditions in the hinterland.
