ABSTRACT

Radiolarian assemblages from chert levels intercalated in carbonatic successions at Karma and Fushe Lura (Rubik Complex, Northern Albania) are examined. The base of the cherts in the Karma section has an early-middle Bajocian age, their top is late Bajocian-early Bathonian. The cherts of the Fushe Lura section are late Bathonian-middle Callovian.
