Description
Summary:A rich assemblage of calcareous algae (Dasycladaceae, Acetabulariaceae) from Kamenjak limestone belt of the Majevica mountain gives the Palaeocene age of the sediments maintained so far for the Middle Eocene. Following the introduction ofa new acicularian species - Acicularia tavnae, representatives of the family Acetabulariaceae are presented form the Kamenjak algal assemblage. The foraminiferal fauna also confirms the Palaeocene age of the Kamenjak limestones.
