| description | The Bled Basin was a Middle Triassic–Early Cretaceous basin whose remnants are preserved in the eastern
Southern Alps in western Slovenia. The early evolution of the basin is recorded in the Upper Ladinian to Lower
Jurassic Zatrnik cherty limestone formation, which in the Pokljuka Nappe overlies Middle Triassic volcanics,
volcaniclastics and hemipelagic limestones. The Zatrnik Limestone is poorly documented and biostratigraphically
not well constrained. The base of the Zatrnik Limestone was logged in four sections in the eastern part of the
Pokljuka plateau. An Upper Ladinian Muelleritortis cochleata Radiolarian Zone was recognised in the lowermost
part, whereas conodont data indicate Julian to latest Tuvalian/early Norian age for the rest of the logged sections.
Microfacies analysis indicates hemipelagic deposition on a basin plain and/or distal slope, which is often interrupted
by distal calciturbidites. |
