Miocene pteropods from Polički Vrh in Slovenske gorice, northeast Slovenia

In the paper relatively modestly preserved but very numerous pteropod remains from Middle Miocene – Badenian micaceous marlstones of Poli~ki Vrh locality in Slovenske gorice, northeastern part of Slovenia are described. The fossils were attributed to the pteropod family Cliidae Jeffreys, 1869, respectively the species Clio pedemontana (Mayer, 1868). They represent the first documented finds of this species in Slovenia, and so far also the southernmost occurrence of the pteropods belonging to this species in Neogene beds of the Styrian basin in the Central Paratethys.
