The first discovery of dinosaur footprints on the Dalmatian part of the Adriatic-Dinaric carbonate platform (ADCP) is reported. They constitute the geologically youngest record of footprints on the ...ADCP. The trackbearing layer was formed in the intertidal environment and represents the final stage of a shallowing-upward cycle. Just below it, a heavy dinoturbated limestone layer can be observed. Microfacies analysis, incorporating evidence from benthic foraminifera and algae, indicates a Late Turonian–Early Coniacian age. The overall morphology and size of the footprints points to sauropod dinosaurs; they represent the largest forms recorded so far on the ADCP. This hints at a prolonged sauropod presence on the platform and to its Late Cretaceous connection to the continent rather than isolation.
Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork (2004––2005), this article conceptualizes a topography of the Dalmatian-Bosnian border region as a memorial and sacralized landscape. Focusing on how ...inhabitants on the Croatian side of the border perceive their surroundings in terms of genealogies and territory, I trace the construction of geographical and historical landscapes in a context of ritual commemoration of massacre victims, examining ways in which local people's memory is literally inscribed in the landscape, in particular in relation to massacre sites and mass graves——from different epochs and conflicts——that had previously been concealed under Tito's regime. Investigating long-neglected spatial aspects of the political in the region, my contention is that landscapes constitute mnemonic agents and sites of historic revisions.

A new species of the dasyclad genus Salpingoporella, S. donatae, is characterized by wavy primary ramifications, which makes it easily distinguishable from other species of the genus. It derives from ...platy algal pelletal packstones and grainstones from the Lower Coniacian to Campanian deposits of the environs of Primosten, Dalmatia. Uragiella matzi SOKAC & VELIC has already been described from the same deposits.
This paper presents the first chronometric dates for sediments that contain a Mousterian industry in Dalmatia (south Croatia). Electron spin resonance (ESR) dating was conducted on two teeth from the ...Mousterian level E1 at the site of Mujina Pećina. Additionally five bone and one charcoal sample from five different strata of origin at this site were dated by accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS). Assuming 30% moisture for both the gamma and beta dose rate calculations, the mean LU ESR age estimate is 44±5ka for level E1, which is statistically indistinguishable from the mean EU ESR age estimate of 40±7ka. A single, uncalibrated 14C age from the E1/E2 interface yielded an age estimate of 45,170 +2780/−2060 years bp while the mean of the five samples from overlying Mousterian levels is 39±3ka. The true (calibrated) age of this mean is about 42ka, which means that the entire stratigraphic profile in Mujina Pećina apparently was very rapidly deposited, and that the ESR age, regardless of uptake model is in good agreement with the calibrated 14C mean age. Temporally, Mujina Pećina overlaps with Pontinian Mousterian sites in west-central Italy and Vindija level G3 from northwestern Croatia. However, there are notable differences between the Mousterian industry from Mujina Pećina and these other sites. Collectively, the Croatian sites yield important evidence on the adaptation of European Mousterian people.
