Triassic terrestrial phase recorded in the carbonate platform successsion of the Karst Dinarides (Croatia)

The Triassic carbonate platform succession of the Karst Dinarides was deposited at the southern Tethyan realm. The facies analysis and distant correlation suggests that a regional terrestrial phase occurred in that area during the Triassic. Due to its regional extent, this terrestrial phase has been viewed as a product of tectonically induced uplift of the huge platform area, causing an extensive emersion and distinct disruption in depositional regime when disconformity and/or various types of terrestrial depositional intervals were formed. Two geodynamic scenarios are presented ; a) regional, contemporaneous tectonic uplift scenario ; and b) diachronous and differential tectonic uplift scenario. During Norian, the uplifted, exposed platform area was flooded and covered by tidal flat-dominated shallow-water carbonates, marking the beginning of wide and long-lasting isolated platform regime.
