| Summary: | In this paper we report new specimens of an interesting Paratethyan decapod Styrioplax exiguus Glaessner,
1928, which extend the known palaeogeographic and stratigraphic distribution of the species. The described
specimens originate from three different localities from Miocene beds in the Slovenske gorice, in the vicinity of
Maribor. By analysing the fossil nannoplankton assemblages we were able to determine a Middle Miocene age of
these deep water beds of the Central Paratethys. |
