| Summary: | Foraminiferal species Involutina farinacciae BRONNIMANN & KOEHN-ZANINETTI, is
a marker of Middle Liassic basinal and transitional platform bassin facies
widely distributed in Mediterranean area (Umbria-Marche, Pindos, Budva,
Sicilia and the Inner Dinarides basin), also in Iraqi Kurdistan (“Avroman”
Basin). In the Dinaric Carbonate Platform (DCP) it indicates intramarginal
and intraplatform depressions. Paleogeography of the Montenegro-Albania
border area formed by the inherited prealpine paleogeographic scenario that
resulted in a different arrangement of the paleogeographic units westward and
eastward of the paleostructure (Scutari-Peć Lineament) which controlled the
geological history of the region. This transverse paleostructure was a)
coincident with the paleogeographic front of the DCP, and b) the westward
limit of the overtrusted Mirdita Zone. The difference in the paleogeographic
features in the prolongation from the DCP througout Albania, controlled by
paleostructure, are the source of seizmicity, rotation and deviation (SE to
NW, into NE) of the Complex Mirdita Zone. |
