Glacial sediments in Dinaric karst

Dinaric karst in Croatia hosts, among other, rather extensive sediments of Pleistocene age, some of which are interpreted as of glacial, proglacial and periglacial origin. The detailed field study of northern Adriatic islands and Croatian eastern Adriatic coast, as well as southern Velebit Mt. revealed presence of sediments which have been transported by active ice tongues - glaciers, or reworked by meltwaters. The age of these sediments is so far constrained only by ostracod fauna found in associated lacustrine sediments which yield an Early Pleistocene age. More precise age determination may become available by dating of tillite cements which were at the moment of writing not completed.
