a Position within Europe (boxed area marks part presented in Fig. 1b); b Major geotectonic units of the Mediterranean-Alpine region with present-day position of Jurassic basins (compiled after Bosellini et al. 1981; Goričan 1994, Chanell and Kozur 1997; Bartolini et al. 1999; Placer 2008; Rožič 2016) (boxed area is enlarged in Fig. 1c); c border area between Alps and Dinarides with major geographic markers (towns, rivers), distribution of Slovenian Basin outcrops, and locations of the studied sections (marked by numbered stars used in Fig. 1d); d Schematic Norian to Turonian Slovenian Basin successions that include the sections presented herein (limestone megabreccia intervals of the Ponikve Klippe and the Mirna River successions represent combinations of more sections). Numbered circles point to tectonic pulses that occurred in (1) the middle Norian (Gale 2010; Oprčkal et al. 2012), (2) the latest Rhaetian to earliest Jurassic (Rožič et al. 2017), (3) the late Pliensbachian to early Toarcian (Rožič 2009; Rožič and Šmuc 2011), and (4) the Bajocian-lower Bathonian, ?Callovian (presented herein)
