Geological and structural map of the southeastern Pag Island, Croatia: field constraints on the Cretaceous - Eocene evolution of the Dinarides foreland

Abstract

Cover page Figure The side facing the Velebit channel in the northwestern part of the mapped area, showing multiple thrust faults verging in opposite directions.

Deformation Sequence and Paleofluids in Carbonate Buckle Folds Under Transpression (Pag Anticline, External Dinarides, Croatia)

“…The geological map is based on field surveys integrated with the interpretation of high‐resolution satellite images available from the Bing portal (https://www.bing.com/maps) and the geoportal of the Croatian Geodetic Service (https://geoportal.dgu.hr/). Field surveys were conducted on printed aerial photographs, or on GPS equipped tablets, mainly at the 1:5,000 scale, and locally at the 1:2,000 scale (see Mittempergher et al., 2019). The geological cross‐sections were constructed using the MOVE suite (Petroleum Experts Ltd., 2019) to combine information from our field data, measured stratigraphic sections and published geological maps (Majcen et al., 1976; Mamužić & Sokač, 1973; Mittempergher et al., 2019; Sokač et al., 1976).…”

“…An erosional surface occurs at the top, with evidence for meteoric calcite cementation, karst dissolution and, locally, bauxite deposits (Figure 2d; Kovačević Galović et al., 2012). This long‐lasting erosional phase is testified by a regional stratigraphic gap spanning from Coniacian‐Santonian to Ypresian times (Jelaska et al., 1994; Korbar, 2009; Mittempergher et al., 2019). Sedimentation resumed in the Lutetian and Bartonian with the deposition of the ramp‐carbonates regionally known as foraminiferal limestones (Figure 2e), passing upward to the transitional beds (Globigerina marls) (Figure 2f) and the predominantly shallow marine clastic succession of the Dalmatian flysch (Figure 2g; Persico et al., 2019).…”

“… Geological map of the Pag and Povljana anticlines from Mittempergher et al. (2019) with traces of the geological cross sections shown in A to F, from NW to SE; β axis and π plane obtained from cumulative bedding pole density contours of the northwestern part (southeastern part and Povljana) of the Pag anticline in blue (red) from our data set (Schmidt lower hemisphere stereographic projection; contour interval 2%) are shown in the upper right corner of the map; rose diagram showing cumulative azimuth distribution of strike‐slip faults from our data set are shown on the left side of the map. (A–F) Geological cross‐sections of the Pag anticline from NW to SE.…”

On a new robust workflow for the statistical and spatial analysis of fracture data collected with scanlines (or the importance of stationarity)

“…The scanline studied in this case comes from a single turbiditic sandstone bed in the Langhian to Tortonian Marnoso-Arenacea Formation (Val Santerno, northern Apennines of Italy; Ogata et al, 2017). The scanline was collected on a photogrammetric digital outcrop model (e.g.…”
