Vretence iz miocenskih plasti Tunjiškega gričevja / Vertebra from the Miocene beds of Tunjiško gričevje, Slovenia
Abstract
The vertebra in question was found in lower Miocene beds west of Kamnik in Tunjiško gričevje, central Slovenia. The locality is situated in calcareous conglomerates of the Govce Formation. The vertebra belongs to an adult aquatic mammal, most probably of Odontocetes group. We attributed it among the caudal vertebrae, i.e. of caudal spinal domain of the dolphins.

Vretence pripada odraslemu vodnemu sesalcu, najverjetneje iz skupine zobatih kitov (Odontoceti). Uvrstili smo ga med repna vretenca oziroma v kavdalno hrbtenično območje delfina ali pliskavke.
