Stratigraphy and paleoenvironments of rudist biostromes in the Upper Cretaceous (Turonian-upper Santonian) limestones of southern Istria, Croatia.

Rudist are well preserved in the Upper Cretaceous of southern Istria, where they flourished within different shallow-water environments during the Turonian to upper Santonian. In order to determine paleoenvironments, a vertical succession of the rich rudist assemblages has been investigated and described within sequence stratigraphy framework. the environmental setting of the southern Istria rudist biostromes and their correlation with other shallow-water deposits in the Mediterranean region suggests that a sequence stratigraphy approach can be applied to correlate rudist biostratigraphy on regional, or even inter-regional, scale.
