Sedimentology and Depositional Setting of Alluvial Promina Beds in Northern Dalmatia, Croatia
E. Mrinjek
Abstract
Facies associations comparable with Scott- or Donjek-type facies associations have been recognised in the alluvium of the Promina beds in northern Dalmatia (Late Eocene to possible Early Oligocene). Scott-type facies associations prevail in the upper part of the studied succession whereas Donjek-type facies associations characterise its lower part. Vertical variations in sediment supply, stream gradient or base level are primarily related to south-westward thrustings followed by tectonic quiescence and erosion of the source area.
