The representative successions of the Bled, Tolmin and Bovec basins, and the Julian High are described and illustrated. The stratigraphy of these locally recognized basins is correlated regionally and discussed in the larger framework of the evolution of the Adriatic continental margin. The paper is written as a field-trip guide for a post-conference excursion of the 29th IAS Meeting.

COBISS.SI-ID: 2076245Preliminary results on sedimentology and biostratigraphy of the Bled Basin were presented at the 29th IAS Meeting in Schladming. The end Triassic to Early Cretaceous tectonostratigraphic history of this basin was divided into the following stages: Late Triassic to Early Jurassic extension culminating in the Pliensbachian subsidence pulse; Middle Jurassic commencement of convergent regime and a renewed subsidence in the Bajocian due to tectonic down-warping; Early Cretaceous progressive closure of the Neotethys and evolution of the Bled Basin into a typical foreland basin.

COBISS.SI-ID: 34773805Preliminary results of biostratigraphic studies in the area of Demir Kapija were presented at the 13th meeting of radiolarian paleontologists in Cadiz. We determined a Callovian age of basalts and a Tithonian age of the carbonate sequence that followed the ophiolite obduction. The carbonate platform at Demir Kapija is an exceptionally well preserved platform that is genetically similar to the Bohinj Carbonate Platform and may serve for better understanding of other similar carbonate platforms in the Dinarides.
