In the bauxite-bearing area of Jajce (Bosnia & Herzegovina), exploitation of karst bauxite has occurred for more than 40 years, during which time extensive geological and mining research was also conducted. Here, the geological map of the Jajce bauxite bearing-area (Bosnia & Herzegovina) at a scale of 1:25.000 is presented, accompanied by a geological column and regional geological cross-sections. The map shows the main stratigraphic and tectonic features and positions of the bauxite deposits of the area. This research area covers 343 km 2 , divided into two structural units with four bauxite districts, Liskovica, Bešpelj, Crvene Stijene and Poljane. The Liskovica-Bešpelj structural unit is tectonically very complex, characterized by WE trending structures in subvertical, vertical and overturned positions. The Crvene Stijene-Poljane structural unit is characterized by gentle folds and normal faults. The geological map summarizes all the available data and represents the necessary basis for further geological and mining research of the area.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
