Sažetak
Clastic deposits in the Konavle area are about 400 m thick, consisting of alternation of sandstone and mudstone beds with rare lensoid conglomerates beds in the upper part. The lower part of succession was deposited in the lower shoreface/off-shore transition environments with abundant amalgamated hummocky cross-stratified beds, the middle part contains thin turbidite beds deposited on a deeper part of a ramp, whereas the upper part with thin conglomerates bodies probably represents a distal prodeltaic facies. Therefore, only the thin middle part of the studied clastic succession of the Konavle region may be referred to as flysch, while lower and upper part were definitely deposited in shallower environments.A combination of sedimentological data and evidences on significant reworking of older deposits indicates that studied clastic deposits have probably been deposited in confined, narrow and relatively shallow piggyback sub-basin which has been in large part filled by resedimented deposits (the mixed sandstones and fine-grained deposits containing reworked older nannoplankton assemblages) from the older basins located in the NE hinterland of Konavle.
