THE JURASSIC SEDIMENTARY EVOLUTION OF A CARBONATE PLATFORM INTO A DEEP-WATER BASIN, MT. MANGART (SLOVENIAN-ITALIAN BORDER) by ANDREJ SMUC, SPELA GORICAN

“…The section was studied sedimentologically in detail and dated with radiolarians. It is divided into five lithostratigraphic units: Unit 1: Lower Jurassic shallow-water peloidal and oncoidal limestones; Unit 2: Pliensbachian distal shelf limestones rich in juvenile ammonites and sponge spicules topped by an Fe-Mn hardground; Unit 3: lower to possibly middle Toarcian sequence of black shales with interbedded siliceous limestone; Unit 4: upper Bajocian/Bathonian to lower Tithonian cherts, cherty limestones, and carbonate gravity-flow deposits; Unit 5: upper Tithonian red nodular cherty limestones with abundant calpionellids and aptychi. …”
