Microfacies of the Triassic ribbon radiolarites south of Katušnica River on the road towards Gostilje. a Reddish unlaminated radiolarian wackestone, most probably of Middle Triassic age. All radiolarians are recrystallized to quartz. Sample SRB 212. b Reddish-brownish slightly bioturbated and clayey radiolarite around the Carnian/Norian-boundary (radiolarian wacke- to packstone). The preservation of the radiolarians is moderate; the inner parts of the tests are filled with quartz. Sample SRB 213. c Massive chertified Norian red-grey radiolarian packstone. Nearly all radiolarians are recrystallized to quartz. Due to intense recrystallization the preservation of the radiolarians is very poor. Sample SRB 214. Width of all photos: 0.5 cm
