Bioclastic deposits of Miocene age in the area Dubravica-Veternica

Istraživane su bioklastične marinske naslage miocenske starosti na području između okretišta Dubravica i odvojka planinarskog puta za Veternicu. Ove naslage se ističu u reljefu istraženog područja kao otporne na trošenje. Uz klasičnu tehniku pripreme izbrusaka, primijenjena je i modificirana tehnika mokrog prosijavanja. Određeni su glavni fosili (foraminifere, crvene alge, školjkaši, puževi, skafopodi, makovnjaci, ostrakodi i ježinci) koji se pojavljuju u dva osnovna tipa mikrofacijesa: koralinacejski floutston i heterosteginsko/planosteginski vekston do floutston. Utvrđena je badenska starost naslaga.Miocene bioclastic marine deposits crop out in the area between the bus stop Dubravica and mountain path leading to Veternica Cave. They are weathering-resistant and can be clearly seen in the researched area. Alongside the classical preparation of thin sections, a modified wet sieveing technique was also used. Dominant fossils (foraminifera, coralinaceans, bivalves, gastropods, scaphopods, bryozoans, ostracods and echinoids) occur in two basic types of microfacies: Coralinacean floatstone and Heterostegina/Planostegina wackestone to floatstone. Badenian age was determined
