Nodosaur and possibly Rhabdodon finds in Quarry Stranice near Slovenske Konjice

In the sediments of Quarry Stranice (kamnoloma Stranice) near SlovenskeKonjice (Campanian; gosauski razvoj) in north-east Slovenia, fossils of single and colonial corals were found. In addition to the corals, bivalves, fragments of sponges, snail shells, ostracodes, briozoa, algae and foraminifera were also found. On the west side of the site, near Lipa, fragments of fish teeth, a crocodylian tooth and
the long bones of dinosaurs were discovered. These fossils were first found in 1999 by Franc Pajtler, and researched by Dr. Irena Debeljak. Dr. Debeljak (ZRC SAZU) thinks the bones possibly belonged to a medium-sized quadrupedal plant-eating dinosaur called a nodosaur, a member of the family Ankylosauria. This is the second discovery of dinosaurs in Slovenia. The first, near Kozina, was in an area that was separated from Quarry Stranice in the Upper Cretaceous by a sea, precluding a comparison of the fauna from the two sites. The fossils of dinosaurs,crocodylians, turtles and freshwater fish indicate a rich vertebrate fauna at that time. The nearest site to Stranice with nodosaur remains is in the vicinity of Wienna (Muthmannsdorf -Wienerneustadt, Avstria). The locality of Quarry Stranice (kamnoloma Stranice) near Slovenske Konjice thus becomes an important paleontological find.
The fossils are on display in the Natural History Museum in Ljubljana:
