Based on paleoecological and sedimentological studies on Paleogene shallow-water carbonates of the Kras Plateau, three facies have been recognized and summarized in a carbonate ramp model. Six foraminiferal assemblages, representing different ramp subenvironments, have been defined. By comparing the evolution of the shallow-water biota with data from the Pyrenees and Egypt, a general latitudinal trend can be recognized. However, local depositional setting seems to have been the predominant factor controlling the development and evolution of shallow-water biota.

Different geometries and several generations of infillings were differentiated in Jurassic neptunian dikes. This is the first thorough presentation of neptunian dikes in the Dinarides and as such allows a comparison with similar structures in Spain, Sicily and in the Southern Alps. The results are important to determine the regional extent of the Early Jurassic rifting.

Stratigraphic evolution of northern and southwestern margins of the Early Jurassic Dinaric Carbonate Platform from Trnovski gozd (Slovenia) and Rumija (Montenegro) is presented for the first time. The Pliensbachian facies in Trnovski gozd are almost identical to the most proximal succession on Rumija, where a depositional system of a southwest-dipping carbonate ramp was demonstrated. The first order transgressive-regressive cycle with the major early Toarcian transgressive peak is clearly recognized in all sections. The studied successions are correlative to formations of the Trento Plaform.

The paper describes composition, geometry and macro- and microfabrics of Paleocene microbialite-coral mounds from the Adriatic Carbonate Platform (Kras, Slovenia). Main factors controlling microbialite-coral growth and mound development are discussed in relationship to paleoenvironmental conditions and local and global climatic events during the early Paleogene.

Stratigraphic evolution of Lower Jurassic limestones on the northern and SW margin of the Dinaric Carbonate Platform is presented. The precise stratigraphic correlation among different sections in Trnovski gozd and SW Montenegro is based on biostratigraphy, sequence stratigraphy and chemostratigraphy. A 3D depositional model of a SW dipping carbonate ramp is reconstructed. The proposed model is the first ramp model for the Jurassic carbonate systems of the Dinarides.
