Paleontology in SloveniaPliensbachian Stage

The Podpeč Limestone (also known as Predole Beds) is a geological formation of Pliensbachian-Earliest Toarcian (Early Jurassic) age in southern and southwestern Slovenia, including South-West of Ljubljana or nearby Mount Krim, with other isolated locations such as in the Julian Alps. This unit represents the major depositional record of the Adriatic Carbonate platform (and more or less to the margin of Greater Adria), being known for its shallow marine-lagoon deposits and its bivalve biota, that are abundant enough to give the vulgar name to this unit sometimes in literature as the "Lithiotis Horizon". Is a regional ecological equivalent to the Veneto Rotzo Formation, the Montenegro Budoš Limestone or the Moroccan Aganane Formation. Its regional equivalents include the hemipelagic Krikov Formation at the Tolmin basin.
