Benkovac Stone - Storm Influenced Shallow Shelf Sediments of Promina Group

Benkovac Stone is a 30 m thick succession within the Promina group. Detailed outcrop analyses have shown that: 1. Almost all sandstone beds display the evidence of wave oscillations. 2. Sedimentation was strongly influenced by storm processes. 3. The major part of the Benkovac stone deposits were produced between the fairweather and stormweather wave base. 4. Shelf environment was steadily, but not amply fed by sands and finer material. It was concluded that Benkovac Stone represents shelfal deposition within a broad and long-term braided-delta depositional setting during its retrogradational phase.
