On the background of a broad, almost global panorama the author considers the foundation of stratigraphy of the Lower Cretaceous in the Mediterranean Region, the regional stratigraphie features of the development of the Series In local areas, the evolution and palaeobiogeography of the Early Cretaceous marine organisms in the Mediterranean, as well as the basic features of the geological evolution of these areas during Early Cretaceous.
The book is the first synthesis of this kind on the Lower Cretaceous of such a large area and represents a long-term research of the author in Bulgaria and in many other countries as well.
