Upper Cretaceous Deposits of the Požeška gora Mt. (Croatia)

D. Jamičić

Abstract

Upper Cretaceous deposits of the Požeška gora Mt. (Croatia) formed as the result of interaction between tectonic movements, volcanism and sedimentation in conditions characteristic for moderately deep to deep sea environments. Uninterrupted Santonian-Maastrichtian succession starts with breccias and coarse-grained sandstones which grade into laminated siltstones sandstone and lamellar to thick-bedded limestones. Granite, granophyre and rhyolite fragments are predominant detrital grains in breccias and sandstones all derived from local source-area. The youngest meso to mega-scale folds in Cretaceouss sediments show an E-W strike, although bedding poles are scattered due to older deformations.
