Abstract

A new species, Pironaea buseri, found in chaotic breccia in Paleocene flysch beds in the wider region of the Soca valley, is ascribed to the genus Pironaea Meneghini. The large L-S distance and equal L-S and E-S spacings distinguish the new species from any known pironaea species. The species was found with Vaccinites giordani (Pirona) and Hippuritella cornucopiae (Defranee).

Highlights

  • The large L-S distance and equal L-S and E-S spacings distinguish the new species from any known pironaea species

  • In the chaotic limestone breccia of the Podbrdo cyclotheme within the Paleocene flysch Jože Fekonja years ago found in the Rodez quarry at Anhovo (Fig. 1) a well preserved sample of sorted out incomplete right valve of a pironaea that was stored by Miklavž Fajgelj in the collection of rocks from the quarry

  • Afterwards Dr Stanko Buser found in a similar chaotic breccia in flysch not far from the pironaea find on the crest between the quarries Lastivnica and Deskle the rudists Vaccinites giordani (Pirona) and Hippuritella cornucopia (Defranee)
