Sažetak
The Triassic carbonate platform succession of the Karst Dinarides was deposited at the southern Tethyan realm. The facies analysis and distant correlation suggests that a regional terrestrial phase occurred in that area during the Triassic. Due to its regional extent, this terrestrial phase has been viewed as a product of tectonically induced uplift of the huge platform area, causing an extensive emersion and distinct disruption in depositional regime when disconformity and/or various types of terrestrial depositional intervals were formed. Two geodynamic scenarios are presented ; a) regional, contemporaneous tectonic uplift scenario ; and b) diachronous and differential tectonic uplift scenario. During Norian, the uplifted, exposed platform area was flooded and covered by tidal flat-dominated shallow-water carbonates, marking the beginning of wide and long-lasting isolated platform regime.
