Description
Summary:This study identifies fourteen foraminiferal species of families Pappinidae and Uvigerinidae, found in Badenian sediments of Eastern Slovenia (six sections in the Planina syncline). Two of the species, Uvigerina bellicostata and Angulogerina esuriensis are identified in Slovenia for the first time. Determined species show characteristic Central Paratethyan biostratigraphic distribution throughout the studied sections, allowing the positioning of a Late MiddleBadenian foraminiferal Zone named after the species Uvigerina cf. pygmea.
