Upper Permian Evaporites and Associated Rocks of Dalmatia and Borderline Area of Lika and Bosnia

Abstract

In the region of Central and North Dalrnatia, as well as in thesoutheastern Lika and western Bosnia, the evaporite complex composedmainly of gypswn and anhydrite and associated rocks: clastics, carbonateand somewhere volcanites have been investigated. The lithologicaland petrographical characteristics of these sediments, theirinterrelationships and relations with Mesozoic, Paleogene and Neogenestrata have been shown. Also, the palynological analyses prove UpperPerm ian age of the cvaporite complex for the first time. This conclusionhas been supported with the geochemical and mineralogical dataas well.
