Abstract

New fossils from the Late Cenomanian-Turonian locality in the Bileća area are reported. The fossils include a diverse assemblage of snack-like reptile remains, fishes and plants. While fossil snakes have already been found in this area, the remains of fish and plants are reported for the first time. Based on the state of preservation, the following were identified: the snake Pachyophis (Simoliophiidae), the pychnodont fish Coelodus sp., and plant remains of flowering plants remains of the flowering plants groupe Magnoliidae exc. LilianaeArecaceae (palm trees), and Cycadopsida.
