The “Oresje” Laramian Structure in the NE part of Medvednica Mt. (Croatia)
D. Jamičić
Abstract
Structural features of Upper Triassic and Upper Cretaceous carbonate rocks of the Donje Oresje quarry were formed by tectonic deformation in temporally separated deformational events. The main structure is the complex Oresje structure with a N–S strike and E vergence. It is composed of several overturned anticlines in which either similar or different structural forms were observed. The structure was formed by Laramian movements during the Alpine orogeny when the main stress was oriented E–W. During the youngest Tertiary and Quaternary movements, the Oresje structure was influenced by a N–S oriented stress whch resulted in folding and rotation of the main structural form.
