Late Badenian Deep-Water Microfossil Association from the locality St. Barbara in Medvednica Mt. (Croatia)

Grey marls with rich microfossil community were sampled in Lipa creek trench at the locality St. Barbara. Foraminifera are most abundant fossils with 49 species, while ostracods are represented with 21 species. Middle shelf is characterized by highly diverse fauna and high oxygen content at the bottom watewr surface.Outer shelf is less diversified and clear trend of dominance by few species is noticed. Increase in diversity and number of species at the upper bathyal environment indicate moderate oxygen conditions.
