Sažetak
Eocene sedimentary rocks of complex litology and large thickness are widespread in western Herzegovina located in middle parts of the Dinaride carbonate platform. They are unconformably underlain by varous types of limestones of the Upper Cretaceous, mostly of the Cenomanian-Turonian. Coral-bryozoan-corallinacean biohermal limestones are represented by well preserved autochthonous reef, i. e. by typical bioherm consisting of pleanty of reef-forming organisms in the live position. The reef can be horizontally traced for kilometres, and its thickness is up to several ten of meters. Smaller reefs with less lateral stretching and thickness in the area of Sobač and Podsnježnica, and they can be unterpreted as patch reefs. At the base of reef body occur commonly hermatypic corals and bryozoans with larger amount of corallinaceans and in places with calcisponges. Generation of corals characterized by predominat vertical growth is covered by generation of bryozoans and corallinaceans with distinct horizontal component. They alternate in vertical direction. The most common reef-dwellers in the reef itself and particularly in its marginal parts are numerous large foraminifera (alveolines and nummulites) as well as numerous mullusks, mostly pelecypods and gastropods.
