Carnian Foraminifera from the Kucler quarry at Lesno Brdo (Slovenia)

Abstract

The Carnian platy limestone of the Kucler quarry at Lesno Brdo yields a rich assemblage of Foraminifera and other microfossils. Eight foraminiferan genera have been determined, of them the following three are the most abundant; Lamelliconus, Aulotortus and Triadodiscus. Genera Gandinella, ? Meandrospira and Gsollbergella are less abundant, but still frequent, while Foraminifera from genera Trochammina and Nodosaria occur sparsely.
