20.500.12556/RUP-23559 Initial steps of insect fossilisation in cave flowstone Začetne stopnje fosilizacije žuželk v jamskih sigah In a small, abandoned coal mine in northeastern Slovenia, there is an area with intensive flowstone deposition. We found about two hundred carcasses of the mosquito Culex pipiens s. l., as well as a few remains of a winter crane fly Trichocera sp., a rove beetle Atheta cf. spelaea, and a false diamondback moth Digitivalva pulicariae on the wall, partly or entirely embedded in the flowstone. We describe the initial taphonomic steps in these carcasses and discuss the probable reasons why the in-sect remains disintegrate completely, interrupting the process of fossilisation. V majhnem, opuščenem premogovniku v severovzhodni Slove-niji je območje z intenzivnim odlaganjem. Našli smo približno dvesto delno ali celoti zasiganih trupel komarja Culex pipiens s. l., nekaj ostankov suhe južine Trichocera sp., jamskega kratko-krilca rodu Atheta cf. spelaea in vešče Digitivalva pulicariae na steni. Opisujemo začetne tafonomske korake pri teh truplih in razpravljamo o verjetnih razlogih, zakaj se ostanki žuželk po-polnoma razgradijo, s čimer se fosilizacija prekine. actualistic approach parietal association sandstone taphonomy aktualistični pristop parietalna asociacija peščenjak tafonomija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-09-01 14:57:49 2026-09-01 14:57:49 2026-09-02 03:08:54 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 str. 135-143 no. 1 Vol. 55 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-08-17 595.771.1 0583-6050 10.3986/ac.v55i1.15100 289646339 RAZ_Novak_Tone_2026.pdf RAZ_Novak_Tone_2026.pdf 1 5FCC72E079F5F001810E4A3840A5BB81 0c1e2a9d30db0839ee5b9d5aa673e50b80e64a06fd38cd1fa465a46ae24d7b9b a5b16510-a604-11f1-9e8d-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=34977 https://ojs.zrc-sazu.si/carsologica/article/view/15100 1 7b8f1826-a604-11f1-9e8d-005056ac49c0 https://repozitorij.upr.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=34976 Fakulteta za matematiko, naravoslovje in informacijske tehnologije 0 0 0
