Sedimentary evolution of the Kobilji curek basin during the Ladinian, divided into five stages (column on the left-hand side and bottom of the column on the right hand side) and evolution during the Carian and Norian (for the position of cross-section see Fig. 4.): a The first deepening involves paleoblocks 1, 2 and 3, while the less subsided area represemted by paleoblock 4 probably remains emerged. After this initial phase and the platform re-establishes itself over paleoblocks 2, 3 and 4, which indicates a main componenet of subsidence taking place during the rest of this stage along the paleofault located between paleoblocks 1 and 2. b During the second stage the platform progrades across the entire area and seals the fault between paleoblocks 1 and 2. c The second deepening (third stage) affects paleoblocks 1 and 2, indicating a tapered but slightly reorganized subsidence. d) The fourth stage is represented by a second overall platform progradation that again levels the entire area. e The following third deepening (fifth stage) is accompanied by nearby volcanism and certainly involves paleoblocks 1, 2 and 3. f During the Carnian, the surface of the area is flattened and is subsequently covered by continental fluvial sedimentation. g This is followed by general marine transgression in the Norian. Late diagenesis alters the thicker Ladinian limestone intervals (F3 and F4 facies)
