Abstract
So far existing research of the Triassic stratigraphical developments of the Slovenian Southern Alps (Julian Alps, Kamnik – Savinja Alps and South Karavanke, paleogeographically Julian platform and marginal part of the Slovenian basin) are relatively aboundand, but geographically and thematically irregularly divided. There are numerous studies of the Julian Alps and Southern Karavanke and a lot less studies of the Kamnik – Savinja Alps. Lower and Upper Triassic successions are studied in greater extent, as the Middle Triassic ones, respectively. The main project goal is to carry out a precise study and correlations of the representative sections, which are well exposed and laterally continued. Lateral transition between different litological units (e.g. basinal to the platform strata), stratigraphical position and genesis of the volcanoclastic sequences, phases of the emersion will be determined. Events will be dated with the biostratigraphic tools. We will study Lower Triassic rocks in the Solčava area, stratigraphic position of the Anisian and Ladinian clastic rocks, mutual relations between ladinian platform and basinal rocks and transition of Carnian deep water rocks in to the Norian reef limestone and Dachstein limestone. On the basis of the sequence stratigraphy and paleogeographic reconstruction, we will be able to make litostratigaphic correlation of the Triassic sequences in the Slovenian Southern Alps and compare them with the stratigraphic findings in the broader region of the Southern Alps. Expected results will contribute to the better comprehension of the Triassic stratigraphic developments, dynamics of the sedimentary basins and complicated vertically and laterally litological transitions. The new data will be directly applicable in the preparation of the new Geological map in the 1: 50.000 scale.
