Sažetak
The ocurrence of bauxite deposits and Paleogene beds overlying Albian, Cenomanian and Senonian limestones indicate the very high relief of the land transgressed by the Paleogene sea. New investigations suggest sporadic tectonic movements with constant tectonic coordinate orientation from the Hauterivian to the end of the Cretaceous in the istrian part of the carbonate platform. With those movements, formation of the anticline structure began in the Early Cretaceous, with the emerged apical parts representing land areas throughout most of the Cretaceous. The mutual relations of the Cretaceous and Paleogene stratigraphic units, a s well as the other mentioned data indicate that in the central part of the structure younger Early Cretaceous and Late Cretaceous strata units were not deposited as a consequence of the prolonged subaerial exposure.
