Sažetak
Lower Aptian rudist faunas from Croatia consist of Requienia? zlatarskii PAQUIER, Toucasia sp., Agriopleura sp., Glossomyophorus costatus MASSE, SKELTON & SLIŠKOVIĆ, Himeraelites sp. and Offneria sp. This assemblage has a clear Southern Tethyan (Arabo-African) significance and typifies the Early Aptian. Faunas from the interior of the Adriatic Carbonate Platform in Istria are dominated by Requieniidae while those from the northeastern area in the vicinity of Tounj-Ogulin, close to the platform margin, exhibit a higher diversity and include, beside requieniids, Caprinidae, Caprotinidae and Monopleuridae, in conjunction with evidence of open marine conditions.
