The paper presents results of a conodont study carried out in Lower Triassic strata in the area of the Slovenian part of the Southern Alps, External Dinarides and Transition region between the External and Internal Dinarides. Following conodont zones have been distinguished: Hindeodus praeparvus Z., H. parvus Z., Isarcicella lobata Z., I. staeschei – I. isarcica Z., H. postparvus Z., Hadrodontina aequabilis Z., Ha. anceps Z., Eurygnathodus costatus Z., Neospathodus planus Z., N. robustus Z., Platyvillosus corniger Z., Pl. regularis Z., Pachycladina obliqua Z., Foliella gardeane Z., Triassospathodus hungaricus Z., T. symmetricus Z., N. robustispinus - T. homeri Z. and T. triangularis Z. The introduced conodont zonation spans from the Permian-Triassic interval to the late Olenekian and is valid for the shallow shelf environments of western Tethys.

Ladinian deposits at Mt. Svilaja in Dalmatia (Outer Dinarides, Croatia) yielded an abundant brachiopod fauna of low diversity interpreted as a parautochthonous assemblage representing an ecosystem of dasycladacean submarine meadow. The fauna consists of four named species and one left in open nomenclature. The most common is the spiriferinide Flabellocyrtia flabellulum Chorowicz and Termier, 1975 accounting for more than 70% of the material. The athyridide Cassianospira humboldtii (von Klipstein, 1845) is the only species known from elsewhere (Anisian of Southern Alps). The new species of Spiriferinida Thecocyrtella dagysii Halamski, Bitner, Kaim, Kolar-Jurkovšek, and Jurkovšek n. sp. differs from other representatives of the genus in having a deep ventral sulcus. Albasphe albertimagni Halamski, Bitner, Kaim, Kolar-Jurkovšek, and Jurkovšek n. gen. n. sp. is a new brachiopod that possesses a dorsal septum with an intra-septal cavity and dorsal submarginal ridges, both features in common with Aalenian Zellania Moore, 1855 from which it differs in lack of the ventral septum and of ventral submarginal ridges. They are interpreted as members of a sparsely recorded paedomorphic evolutionary line of terebratulides with secondarily lost loop, described formally herein as Gwyniidina Halamski and Bitner n. subordo.

In the Julian Alps a few other Upper Triassic intraplatform basins are present, but they are poorly researched and virtually ignored in the existing paleogeographic reconstructions of the eastern Southern Alps. Herein An deepening-upward succession from the Tamar Valley belonging to the Upper Triassic Tarvisio Basin is decribed for the first time. The Tarvisio Basin may have extended as far as the present Santo Stefano di Cadore area, representing a notable paleogeographic unit at the western Neotethys margin.

Publication on the extensive revision and paleobiological study of the Carboniferous macroflora of the Karavanke Mts. from the collection of the Upper Sava Museum at Jesenice. The newly described assemblage contains stratigraphically important species Sphenophyllum oblongifolium and Nemejcopteris feminaeformis that situate place the paleoflora in the stratigraphic interval between the youngest Moscovian and Gzhelian, from Cantabrian to Autunijske substage.

Study presents a paleoenvironmental reconstruction for the mountain fringe between the South-Eastern Alps and the Northern Dinarides (NE-Italy/W-Slovenia) during the Last Glacial Maximum. It is one of the first studies dealing with the interaction of depositional environments at Dinarides/Alps transition. Detail sedimentological and palynological analyses of fine-grained Quaternary sediments from Renče abandoned clay pit were implemented including several age dating as well as correlation with other neighboring areas in Friuli and Soča valley regions.
