The continuation of the Internal Dinaridic units in the area between the Periadriatic Lineament and the Southern Alps in Slovenia

Abstract

Three Internal Dinaridic tectonostratigraphic units are included in the PANCARDI domain; 1) the Bosnian Flysch, composed of the Liassic to Berriasian Vranduk Subgroup and the Albian to Maastrichtian Ugar Subgroup, originating on the passive Tethyan margin, 2) the Dinaride Ophiolite Zone, made up of the Radiolarite Formation, ophiolite included within the Jurassic olistostrome melange, and a Cretaceous overstep sequence, partly with Urgon-type(?) signatures, and 3) the Sava-Vardar Zone, composed of Cretaceous-Early Paleogene flysch, locally with subduction-related basalt-rhyolites, a Paleogene, very low to medium-grade metamorphic sequence originating from the Cretaceous-Paleogene flysch, Paleogene tectonized ophiolite melange, Eocene syncollisional granitoid occurrences and Oligocene postcollisional ones, accompanied by coeval shoshonite and andesite. All these formations occur as allochthonous blocks within two segments of the southern and western Pannonian Basin. 1) In the adjoining Tisia-Dinarides segm...
