Abstract
Upper Cretaceous deposits of the Po`e{ka gora Mts. (Croatia) formed as the result of interaction between tectonic movements, volcanism and sedimentation in conditions characteristic for moderately deep to deep sea environments. Uninterrupted Santonian-Maastrichtian succession starts with breccias and coarse-grained sandstones which grade into laminated siltstones sandstone and lamellar to thick-bedded limestones. Granite, granophyre and rhyolite fragments are predominant detrital grains in breccias and sandstones all derived from local source-area. The youngest meso to mega-scale folds in Cretaceouss sediments show an E-W strike, although bedding poles are scattered due to older deformations.
