Donjokredne harofite Srbije

Lower Cretaceous Charophytes of Serbia

Abstract

Fossil charophytes are an unexplored field in Serbia. The reported study includes: identification of Lower Cretaceous gyrogonites and less of vegetative remains from Serbian territories (Mokra Gora and Vežanja) and correlation vvith charophytes of the Dinarides and a part of the Carpatho-Balkanides. Charophytes have been studied for their significance in biostratigraphy of freshwater and brackish water environments in continental and near-to-coast marine sediments, particularly where other flora and fauna are lacking.
