Results of investigations carried out in the chert blocks found in the mélange in the vicinity of Jasenovo village on SE slopes of Zlatibor Mt. are presented here. Radiolarian cherts from the studied localities represent blocks in mélange of the East-Bosnian–Durmitor Unit, exposed in a large tectonic window below the Triassic carbonates of Drina–Ivanjica Unit. Biostratigraphic data revealed Callovian–early Kimmeridgian ages of the studied chert blocks, thus implying a Kimmeridgian or younger age of obduction of the West Vardar ophiolites.","PeriodicalId":263923,"journal":{"name":"Geoloski Anali Balkanskog Poluostrva","volume":"63 5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132986512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The different terrestrial-lacustrine sediments indicate a very \u0000 mobile and dynamic environment (according to known drilling data, the total \u0000 thickness of these deposits reaches up to 300 m). All these rocks belong to \u0000 the Vrdnik series (Vrdnik Formation). The evolution of the Vrdnik series is \u0000 distinguished by several stages (e.g. pre-lacustrine, lacustrine, peat-swamp, \u0000 etc.). Each of these phases was proved by their sedimentologic and structural \u0000 characteristics. On the other hand, among the fossils, only the swamp flora \u0000 remains (Sequoia, Laurus, Taxodium, Glyptostrobus, etc.) and poor and \u0000 fragmented ostracode valves (Candona sp.) were documented. Presently, the \u0000 exact stratigraphic position of the Vrdnik series is unknown.
