Tectonostratigraphic model for the North Croatian and North Bosnian sector of the Miocene Pannonian Basin System

摘要: The formation of the North Croatian Basin, which represents south-western marginal part Pannonian Basin System and Central Paratethys Bioprovince, began during Ottnangian time (early Miocene) by continental rifting. syn-rift phase lasted until middle Badenian (middle Miocene), resulted in elongated half-grabens characterized large sediment thicknesses strongly influenced tectonics gradually increasing volcanism. Towards end sinistral strike-slip faulting took place, transverse to oblique master faults, disintegrated longitudinal structures contemporaneously with volcanic activity. depositional environments changed from alluvial lacustrine marine. syn- post-rift boundary was significant erosion uplift fault block footwalls. extended Pontian (latest Miocene). Tectonic influence drastically decreased, volcanism ceased, subsidence basin controlled predominantly cooling lithosphere. Marine connections resulting a transition marine brackish, ‘caspi-brackish’ finally fluvial-marsh environments. By Miocene infilled. evolution also complicated an alternation phases extension compression.
