The Early Carboniferous biogeotraphic position of the Balkan Penninsula
Final Report Abstract
The outcrop at Milivojevica Kamenjar in Druzetic (Jadar Block, Vardar Zone, NW Serbia), which exposes a fossiliferous limestone olistolith, is one of the key sites for the Carboniferous stratigraphy and palaeogeography on the Balkan Peninsula. It is the most diverse Carboniferous ammonoid occurrence on the Balkan Peninsula and contains two faunal complexes, an early Late Visean and a fauna from the Visean-Serpukhovian boundary. The early Late Visean assemblage is similar to time equivalent occurrences of the North Variscides and north-western Africa. It is integrated in a cosmopolitan ammonoid distribution of this time interval. The Visean-Serpukhovian boundary assemblage is very different to its time equivalents from the North Variscides and as a result indicates provincialism; it belongs to the South Variscan-North Gondwanan faunal realm and is closely related to the occurrences in the Cantabrian Mountains of Spain and the South Urals. The two major realms are composed of the following provinces: (1) A south-eastern realm includes (1a) a Uralian-North Gondwanan province (including the South Urals and the B6char Basin of Algeria) and (1b) a South Variscan province (Cantabrian Mountains and the Jadar Block). (2) A north-western realm is composed of (2a) a North Variscan province (Central Europe, British Isles) and (2b) a North American province (American Midcontinent and Antler Foreland Basin).
