The Carnian carbonate succession in the Mežica area called “Raibl Beds” (Karavanke Mts, Slovenia) includes three clastic horizons of marly–shaly rocks. Only one single sample yielded well preserved Carnian (Julian) conodonts. The monospecific conodont fauna is marked by elements of Nicoraella ? budaensis that enables us to reconstruct a multielemental apparatus. The recovered conodont fauna verifies the Julian age of the second clastic horizon in the Mežica area and it provides new significant information for definition of the Carnian Pluvial Event in the Karavanke Mts.

A description of the fossil remain of the oldest find of reptile in Slovenia thus far, which contributes to the knowledge of the arrangement of land and sea masses in Triassic times.

In an area 45 km2 large 1223 measurements were performed in a 200 m dense grid. This represents one of the first so extensive studies in the world. We prepared iso-frequency and iso-amplitude maps which show a clear differences between the part of Ljubljana built on soft lacustrine sediments and the part built on gravel. This study represents an important contribution to quantitative assessment of the influence of soft sediments on seismic ground motion in large urban areas.

A comprehensive study of the broad international working group encompasses comparisons and correlations of Late Paleozoic tectonostratigraphic units in the Circum Pannonian region. Peleoenvironments of rock formations are reconstructed and later tectonic displacements that led to their recent positions.

Charophyte gyrogonites are reported for the first time from the Triassic of Slovenia and S. Europe. The charophyte assemblage consists of rare gyrogonites belonging to genus Stenochara, which would probably have been transported to a marine depositional setting from their growing area, a freshwater or brackish environment located nearby. This confirms that smaller areas of palaeogeographic highs, with nonmarine facies, occurred during the Triassic in the Adriatic-Dinaric Carbonate Platform.
