Continental subduction tectonics on the high karst Dinarides of western Croatia

The faults confining Paleozoic inliers by Mesosoic rocks, show that their relation is not a consequence of folding but of neotectonic uplift causing a rather uneven relief of the Paleozoiy units underlying the carbonate Mesososic. The predominace of tectonic contacts indicates that similar relations exist even between the Triassic and the confined Jurassic outcrops exhibiting inverse and, consequently, allohthonous relations. The allochthony is also confirmed by karts relief within some Triassic dolomites related tho the unexpected ground water flow between the swallow holes (ponors) and karst spring. There are also indications of inverse relation between the Triassic volcanic and Paleosoic clastics. However, in the surrounding area a normal superposition between the Triassic and Jurassic is also noticed.
