Sažetak
Fossil remains of European Roller (Coracias garrulus) in Croatia are relatively rare. European Roller has been found at four sites situated at the Adriatic coast: Marlera I and Šandalja II on northern Adriatic, and Vela spila and Markova spilja on southern part. Oldest find is from Marlera I, dated to the Late Pleistocene (Marine Isotope Stage 3 - MIS 3) and the youngest are the Holocene (MIS 1) finds at Vela spila and Markova spilja. Immature bones were found in Vela spila deposits, indicating breeding during the Late Pleistocene at the southern Adriatic. So far, European Roller has not been determined in the deposits from continental part of Croatia.
