Description: Small size shell, with right valve (RV) long conical, 40 mm long and 20 mm in diameter at the commissural plane ( Fig. 7 f-g). The ornamentation consists of dense growth lamellae ( Fig. 7f ). The radial bands are folds curved towards the commissure separated by a narrow interband with one fold ( Fig. 7g ). Left valve (LV) is highly convex, with central apex but much eroded ( Fig. 7f ). Discussion and remarks: Because we found only one specimen , the shell of Radiolites squamosus was not been cut for study in cross-section. This species is also mentioned by Lupu (1976) from RoȘia Basin (Northen Apuseni Mountains). Age and distribution: early - middle Santonian in France ( Toucas, 1907 ); late Santonian- early Campanian in Croatia ( Polšak and Mamuzic, 1969 ), Romania ( Lupu, 1976 ), Slovenia ( Pleničar and Jurkovsek, 1999 ), middle-late Campanian in Spain ( Floquet, 1991 ) and early Maastricthian in east Serbia ( Milovanovic, 1935 ).
