| Abstract: | The Julian Alps belong to the eastern Southern Alps where the South-Alpine and the Dinaric structures now overlap. In Mesozoic times, this area was part of the northeastern Adriatic continental margin, which was facing the Neotethys Ocean but was also close to the Alpine Tethys. The Mesozoic distribution of basins and swells on the continental margin determined variations in the stratigraphic record and also controlled the structural evolution of the later thrust belt. The most general tectonic subdivision in the Julian Alps is the distinction between the Tolmin nappes derived from the Slovenian Basin and the Julian nappes derived from the Julian High and its surroundings. This paper focuses on the Julian nappes. The Mesozoic stratigraphic record is linked with the available structural data to propose a robust subdivision in four nappes that were emplaced in the early Paleogene. From bottom to top these nappes and their corresponding paleotopographic units are: The Tamar Nappe (Tarvisio Basin), the Krn Nappe (western part of the Julian High) with the overlying Travnik Thrust Sheet (Bovec Basin), the Jelovica Nappe together with the Zlatna Klippe and the equivalent smaller klippen (eastern Julian High) and the Pokljuka Nappe (Bled Basin).
The second part of the paper deals with the description of field-trip stops. The panoramic view from the mountain ridge south of Lake Bohinj is presented to explain the general structure of the Julian Alps. The second half of the field-trip is devoted to the Jurassic and Cretaceous stratigraphy of the Bled Basin as the paleogeographically most internal unit with clear affinities with the central Dinarides. |
