Reconstruction of the Triassic shelf and provenance of the studied components and blocks in the Gostilje–Ljubiš–Visoka–Radoševo mélange. a Middle to Late Triassic passive margin configuration after Gawlick et al. (2008), and comparison with the Late Triassic shelf configuration of the Eastern and Southern Alps and the Western Carpathians modified after Gawlick et al. (1999). Generation of oceanic crust started in the Late Anisian in the Neo-Tethys realm. The formation of an oceanic basin (Dinaridic Ocean) between the External (Triassic restricted lagoon) and Internal Dinarides (Triassic open lagoon, reef belt and transitional facies) is not possible due to the facies transitions from the lagoon to the open marine environment. b Middle Jurassic westward directed ophiolite obduction, imbrication of the former passive margin and mélange formation. For the position of the formation of the plagiogranites see Michail et al. (2016). c Recent position of the Dinaridic Ophiolite Belt with its sub-ophiolitic mélanges on the basis of Kober (1914) concerning the genesis and emplacement of the ophiolites and related radiolaritic-ophiolitic trench fills
