Structural setting at the contact of the Southern Alps and Dinarides in western Cerkljansko region (western Slovenia)

The area between the villages of Reka in Idrijca Valley, Bukovo and Zakriž near Cerkno belongs geographically geotectonically to Dinarides. consists two large inner thrust blocks Trnovo nappe, which were thrusted for tens kilometers direction SW their present position. They are overlain by Tolmin lowest unit Southern Alps. nappe was from N S a smaller intermediate sheet. In western part contact Alps Dinarides runs along regional Sovodenj fault. Although rocks considered units about same age, different stratigraphic settings could be recognized. lithostratigraphic features Ladinian-Lower Carnian Pseudizilian beds particularly striking. Succession clastic carbonate deposited deep-marine Slovenian basin. both Pseudozilian occur lithologically characteristic sequences but, they developed much greater thickness than pass continuously upwards into Amphyclina beds, while on other hand, succession is thinner platform Cordevol dolomite.
