2008 Salpingoporella patruliusi Bucur 1985 – Sokač & Grgasović, p. 262, pl. V, fig. 1-6, pl. VI, fig. 1-4, upper Barremian, Dinaric Karst, Croatia.

The specimens identified in Eastern Serbia present clear similarities with the type specimens: a narrow axial cavity with respect to the external diameter of the thallus; ellongated phloiophorous laterals with euspondyl arrangement and tilted to the central stem; calcification forming a distinct sheath around the axis and the laterals. Initially, the age of the limestones from the type locality (Pădurea Craiului) was attributed to the Barremian–lower Aptian. Subsequently, Bucur & Cociuba (2001) reassigned it to the lower Barremian. It is difficult to estimate the age of the specimens from the Reșița-Moldova Nouă zone ( Bucur, 1994). However, a late Barremian age could be presumed (the lower part of the Valea Minișului Formation). In the Vâlcan Mountains ( Pop & Bucur, 2001), Salpingoporella patruliusi is associated with Montseciella arabica Henson , an orbitolinid that characterizes the upper Barremian to lowermost Bedoulian (Schroeder et al., 2010, fig. 3). Finally, Sokač & Grgasović, (2008) indicate a late Barremian age for the Dinaric Karst limestones containing Salpingoporella patruliusi . Summarizing, Salpingoporella patruliusi is well known from Barremian strata.
