Summary: Paleozoic sedimentary and low metamorphic rocks of the
northern Croatia are systematically investigated in order to reconstruct
the stratigraphy, tectonic and genesis of the Sava - Drava interfluve.
Research is based upon the analysis of palinomorphs, microfossils and
macrofossils, as well as the radiometric dating of the rocks.
Environmental conditions are reconstructed from the analysis of the
palinofacies, microfacies and lithofacies. The data obtained enable the
recognition of the geological events during the Paleozoic in the area
between the rivers Sava and Drava , as well as the reconstruction of
global events in the wider european realm.
Research goals: 1. Determination of the palinomorphs from the
Paleozoic rocks for the first time in northern Croatia. Palinofacies
analysis. 2. Paleontological investigations of microfossils and
macrofossils. Microfacies analysis. Reconstruction of the fossil
communities. 3. Petrographic investigations. Lithofacies analysis.
Reconstruction of the rock-forming conditions. Contribution to the
knowledge on the metalogenesis of the uranian, graphite etc. from the
semimetamorphic rocks of Slavonia. 4. Determination and correlation of the
geological and isotopic age of the rocks. 5. Paleogeographic
reconstructions . 6. Synthesis of the geological events in the area
investigated in time and space. 7. Correlation with the neighbouring
realms.
