Sažetak
Within the French-Slovenian Proteus research program no. 97011, several fossil-bearing fillings of cavities initially formed as different caves have been discovered (1997 and 1999 field trips). Some of them have also been found in Croatia. The aim of the project was to find new localities in the area and with biochronological dating of the localities date the evolution of the karst, specially the large unroofed caves. In Slovenia, two quarries that of Črni Kal in the SW, and that of Velika Pirešica in the central part of the country have been particularly productive.Two other isolated sited have also been discovered, in the road cut near Sežana and the other at Snežna Jama, a high altitude cave. In the case of the sites recognised in Croatia, the work was done in Istria Peninsula in cooperation with the late Maja Paunović from the Zagreb Institute of Quaternary Paleontology and Geology. In 2003 two new localities were found Dol Bestažovca near Sežana in Slovenia and locality Modrič on the coast of the Adriatic Sea in Croatia. In both cases these are unroofed caves filled with sediments, being now exposed to the surface because of the lowering of the karst surface. Here are presented some photographs of the sites, some of them have disappeared since, and faunal lists of small mammals are given. The faunas have all a Pleistocene age.
