Sažetak
The Eocene clastics of the NW part of the island of Pag overlie carbonate platform deposits and are dominantly sandy. Besides minor components, they include cross-laminated and cross-bedded sandstones produced by marine tractive flows, mostly directed toward E, and ESE, and dominantly massive sandstones probably deposited by gravity flows. The area was situated close to sand-rich sources and river mouth(s). Possible settings include a delta-related shallow-marine area, and a sea strait. Structural deformation intervened very early in the history of a complex outer dinaric foreland realm and governed its subsequent evolution, in contrast to a simple foreland trough envisaged before.
