Conodont biostratigraphy and carbonate microfacies of the Late Devonian to Mississippian Milivojevica Kamenjar section (Druzetic, NW Serbia)

The conodont stratigraphy, biostratigraphy and carbonate microfacies in the Milivojevica Kamenjar section (Druzetic, NW Serbia) are analysed. Based on conodonts and ammonoids, the rock succession spans a period ranging from the late Famennian (Devonian) through to the Serpukhovian (late Mississippian). Nine conodont zones are recorded (one only tentatively): one Famennian zone (Lower Si. praesulcata Zone), two Tournaisian zones (Si. sulcata and Si. duplicata s. lato zones), four Visean zones (Lo. commutata, Gn. praebilineatus, Gn. bilineatus bilineatus and Lo. nodosa zones) and two Serpukhovian zones (Lo. ziegleri and Gn. bilineatus bollandensis zones). Five carbonate microfacies are identified in the section; they indicate mostly open-marine deep shelf and deep slope settings. Conodonts and ammonoids as well as carbonate microfacies from the Milivojevica Kamenjar section reveal a Visean-Serpukhovian transition similar to that known from the South Urals.
