Abstract. The Periadriatic Line (PAL) is a remarkable, several hundred kilometer long fault system of the Alpine orogen. Its dextral character was documented by several authors using diverse criteria, but detailed kinematics and timing of movements had not been investigated along its whole length. Structural and paleomagnetic measurements, mapping, and stratigraphic and sedimentological studies have helped to unravel the MiocenePliocene evolution of the Slovenian segment of the PAL.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
