New data on the stratigraphy of Badenian from Krčedin аrea (Northern Serbia, Central Paratethys)

Abstract

Badenian sediments are found for the first time in the surroundings of the Krčedin village. They represent remnants of the Central Paratethys marginal sea. The sediments are represented by a basal conglomerate unit overlain by pure and sandy marl. Foraminifera and rare ostracods are present, limited to the marls. Normal gradation and the prevalence of planktonic foraminifera suggest a rapidly deepening basin.
