An overview on Structural position of Mesozoic succession of distal Adriatic continental margin on Ivanščica Mt. (NW Croatia)

Abstract

Mt. Ivanščica is one of inselbergs in the Internal Dinarides (NW Croatia) in the transitional area with Southern Alps. In this area, NNW-verging Dinaric structures are overprinted by S-verging Alpine structures. Mt. Ivanščica is composed of Mesozoic shallow to deep-marine sedimentary succession of the passive continental margin of Adriatic plate, which was facing the Neotethys ocean, overthrust by ophiolitic mélange. Here, we aim to present new preliminary structural data from pelagic sediments of Ivanščica Mt. in attempt to better understand tectonic history of this part of Internal Dinarides.
