Sažetak
The Upper Palaeozoic tectonic belt of the Mt. Velebit and Lika region represents the best known and most completely developed Palaeozoic area in Croatia. Sediments here range from the Pennsylvanian (Moscovian) to the Late Permian in age. Carbonate sediementation took part sporadically during the Carboniferous and Early Permian. Intensive tectonic uplift at the beginning of the Middle Permian caused the formation of prominent relief and its rapid erosion, followed by sedimentation of terrigenous molasse sediments. After the phase of instability, lowering of the relief enabled the stabilization of the area and formation of carbonate platform environment that existed until the end of Permian. Rapid production of carbonate material resulted in more than 900 m of carbonate sediments, dolomites and limestones, rich in diverse and numerous fossils from Middle to Late Permian age.
