The Callovian–Lower Kimmeridgian Kamar-e-Mehdi Formation of the western Tabas Block, part of the Central-East Iranian Microcontinent, represents the fill of an extensive carbonate shelf lagoon situated between a barrier carbonate platform in the east and the uplifted Yazd Block in the west. In the course of its development, the shelf lagoon experienced increasing isolation which, together with a climatic...
Middle Devonian reefs were widespread on the various synsedimentary tectonic blocks of the Moroccan Meseta, which formed the southern external Variscides. So far, poorly studied biostromes and small to medium-sized bioherms have grown in the southern subtropics, separated by the ca. 3000-km-wide Prototethys from the well-known reefs of the southern Laurussian shelf. Autochthonous, displaced, and reworked...
Fossil reefs have the potential to provide important data for studies of climate and environmental change. This is particularly true for Pleistocene-Holocene coral reefs, which predominantly consist of communities undisturbed by anthropogenic impact and therefore provide a baseline for evaluating the status of modern reefs. We used photo transects and point-counting to quantitatively compare two Pleistocene...
At six localities in northern Croatia (Donje Orešje, Gornje Orešje), Slovenia (Stranice, Slovenj Gradec), and Bosnia (Bešpelj and Kober), successions of shallow-water Campanian deposits transgressively covered a tectonically uplifted and eroded paleorelief. They constitute different lateral parts of a transgressive subtidal environment, where rudists and corals are typical macrofossils. At the investigated...
