GROUP A 1) completing knowledge of the Euroamerican floristic province during Late Paleozoic, 2) supplementary information to the morphology of certain organisms hitherto unknown (structure of the thallus of Clypeina/Dasycladales, lower and upper jaws of the ammonoid family Placenticeratidae), 3) completing knowledge of the Upper Triassic floras of Europe, 4) contribution to the understanding of stratigraphic position of Cretaceous fish assemblages that enables further study of biological evolution of certain groups and a revision of historic finds, 5) contribution to the understanding of global eustatic and anoxic events during Cretaceous, 6) improving knowledge of the Cretaceous evolution of the Adriatic-Dinaric carbonate platform as one of the largest carbonate platforms during Mesozoic, 7) supplementing the evolution of certain Cretaceous fossil invertebrate (ammonoids) and vertebrate (fishes, reptile) groups, 8) completing the knowledge of rudist assemblages and mode of their distribution in a composition of the Cretaceous platform carbonate rocks, 9) establishing the conodont zonation for the Triassic basement of the Adriatic-Dinaric carbonate platform (Mt. Svilaja, Croatia), 10) analysis of the phylogeny of a likely Productide from the Triassic, and the implications for survival through the Permo-Triassic extinction. GROUP B The complex systems theory is a new way of viewing nature. In geocomplexity a chaotic global system combine the operations of the astenosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, biosphere and solar system in fractal fuzz of processes, which generates geologic records. This alternative approach was implemented to pursue a new knowledge and promote a deepest and more complete understanding of geologic structures and patterns in Slovenia and underlying processes and principles. A new implementation as nested hierarchy theory was proposed. Since our modelling and simulation operated on long time span and large space we compressed both to enable us to perceive the relationships and complexity that otherwise would not be apparent. This meta-stratigraphic approach has brought forth definable and mappable dynamic connections between local (eastern Slovenian), lower regional (Alps, Carpathians, Dinarides, Intercarpathian basin), higher regional (Mediterranean) and global nested hierarchic levels. It has brought forth as well the principles of generating geologic structures and patterns studied from the Late Eocene (tilde 35 Ma) to present. Namely, they have encapsulated the local predominantly non-linear dynamics of processes and feedbacks and all other complex interactions and feedbacks of the nested hierarchic order. The paradigmatic change has facilitated a deeper understanding that the geologic structures and patterns are a manifestation of the entire web of these dynamic connections among processes running on the nested hierarchic order. And that biocomplexity and geocomplexity are not separated complexes - the notion based on the Kauffman's interacting fitness landscape model observation. Foraminifera responded and adapted according to interactions in geocomplexity, exhibiting creativity in a phylogenetic process.
