Recognition of badenian paleoenvironments and zones from Medvednica Mt.(Croatia) based on EDXRF analyses

Elemental composition of the late Badenian deposits from the Medvednica Mt. was applied for the first time in recognition and differentiation of paleoecological facies and biozones, previously determined on the basis of typical microfossil communities. Five Badenian fossil environments (marginal marine, inner shelf, middle shelf, outer shelf and upper bathyal) and three Badenian biozones (Upper Lagenidae Zone, Bulimina – Bolivina Zone and Ammonia beccarii Zone) were identified. Afterwards, the same rock samples were subjected to elemental analyses using source excited energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence method.
