Abstract

Tema diplomskog rada je determinacija fosilnog lišća pleistocenske flore nađene u jezerskim sedimentima na području južnog Velebitskog kanala. Cilj rada bio je prikupiti uzorke biljnih makrofosila, determinirati svojte i interpretirati paleoklimatske prilike tijekom pleistocena. Prikupljeno je 79 primjeraka fosilnog lišća, primjerci fosilne faune Gastropoda i Bivalvia, a mikro-analizom jezerskih sedimenata pronađene su mnogobrojne ljušture ostrakoda. Determinirano je 15 dendroloških svojti koje pripadaju u 9 porodica. Svojta najbrojnija primjercima je Taxodium sp., zatim Quercus sp. i Zelkova sp. Okoliš taloženja jezerskih sedimenata je bio proglacijalni, a prevladavala je listopadna vegetacija koja je danas prilagođena na umjerenu klimu.

Abstract (english)

Main purpose of this thesis was collection and taxonomical determination of Pleistocene fossil flora found in lacustrine sediments of South Velebit Channel, as well as the interpretation of Pleistocene paleoclimatic conditions. Total of 79 specimens was collected and 15 taxa of fossial flora were determined, wich belong to 9 families. Fossil gastropods and bivalvs were also found in lacustrine sediments and micro-analysis of sediments reveald locally abundant ostracod shells. The most abundant plant specimens were Taxodium sp. leafs, followed by Ouercus sp. and Zelkova sp. The sediments were deposited in proglacial lacustrine environment, with mixed deciduous temprerate flora in surrounding area.
