Sažetak
The Cenozoic history of the E Adriatic coast reflects the transition from a Cretaceous passive margin setting to a foreland basin evolution. During the Early Eocene, a homoclinal carbonate ramp, the AdCP, developed. Paleogene carbonate ramps were subject to short-term tectonic controls, including subsidence and sea-level changes. Inner and middle ramp deposits (Liburnian formations and foraminiferal limestones) are widespread along the coast, while outer ramp deposits are scarce in the N Adriatic region and N Dalmatia. Flysch sedimentation commenced after a significant drowning of Eocene carbonate platforms. The paper discusses about paleogeographical setting, paleomagnetism and tectonics of the studeid area, with descriptions of Northern Adriatic, Northern Dalmatian, and Central and South Dalmatian Paleogene-Neogene geological history.
