*2007 Neomeris mokragorensis n. sp. - Radoičić & Schlagintweit, p. 43-44, fig. 7, pls. 1-2, pl. 3, figs. 1-6 (with synonymy).

Remarks: Some thallus fragments displaying subspherical fertile ampullae and light-brown preservation are referred to Neomeris mokragorensis , described from the Albian and Turonian of Serbia ( Radoičić & Schlagintweit, 2007). It co- occurs with Trinocladus tripolitanus Raineri , Halimeda sp. 1 , and a trocholinid-orbitolinid foraminiferan assemblage preferentially in the oncolithic wacke-packstones with iron-impregnated bioclasts.
