“…The succession evolves upwards into more open-marine deposits (outer-ramp to basinal environment) with sedimentation of platy limestones alternating with marlstones and fine-grained calcarenites of Turonian age (Filipović et al 1978). Finally, the succession passes into a basinal flysch consisting of low-density turbidite deposits (calcareous sandstones and calcirudites) and cherty limestones of Coniacian-Santonian age (Djerić et al 2009;Vishnevskaya et al 2009;Bragina et al 2014). Towards the Santonian portion of the succession, slumping layers and other syn-sedimentary deformations became common (Fig.…”

Along the Dinaric–Hellenic orogen, the Late Jurassic – Early Cretaceous ophiolite obduction over the Adria continental margin was sealed by sedimentation of clastic terrestrial deposits rapidly followed by a widespread carbonate platform system since the Early Cretaceous period. These Cretaceous sediments presently crop out over areas of varying extension, from several hundred kilometre wide undeformed continuous covers to small-scale tectonic slivers involved in the tectonic stack following the latest Cretaceous–Palaeogene collision. These deposits are unconformably sedimented above the units formed by the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous nappe stacking above the eastern Adria continental margin. We studied these deposits in a large area between western Serbia and eastern Bosnia. In the studied area, these deposits are divided into three lithostratigraphic groups according to their age, depositional environment and type of underlying basement. The Mokra Gora Group sediments (upper Aptian–Maastrichtian) were deposited on top of previously obducted and weathered ophiolites, the Kosjerić Group (Cenomanian–Campanian) overlies composite tectonic units comprising obducted ophiolites and their underlying continental basement portions, while the Guča Group (Campanian–Maastrichtian) exclusively rests on top of continental basement. The reconstructed sedimentary evolution of these groups, together with the comparison with the syn- and post-obduction deposits at the front of the ophiolitic nappe(s) in a wider area of the internal Dinarides (e.g. Pogari Group and Bosnian flysch), allowed us to clarify the obduction mechanisms, including their tectonic context, the changes in depositional environments and the timing of depositional and tectonic events, and, in a wider view, shed light on the geodynamic evolution of the Dinaric belt.

“…In order to enable more detailed stratigraphic division of the Turonian-Senonian terrigenous-carbonate sequence in Western Serbia, Late Cretaceous radiolarians have been extensively studied during the last five years (DJERIĆ et al, 2009;BRAGINA et al, 2014). According to lithostratigraphic correlation and the identified radiolarian association, the studied limestone corresponds to the Struganik Limestone which originated on the continental slope, in a relatively proximal slope environment which is indicated by a significant amount of sponge spicules together with abundant radiolarians.…”

“…It should be noted that the joint occurrence of radiolarian species Dictyomitra koslovae and Alievium gallowayi is also known from Santonian strata of the Crimean Mountains (KORCHAGIN et al, 2012) and Struganik village in West Serbia (BRAGINA et al, 2014).…”

Radiolarian assemblages of Late Cretaceous age were studied in a carbonate-clastic section from the Cretaceous sedimentary cover that unconformably overlies Triassic sediments of the Jadar Block. According to the identifi ed radiolarian associations, the studied limestone is of Santonian age. Considering the fact that these sediments belong to a broadly defi ned Turonian-Senonian geologic map unit, the obtained data are important for further more detailed biostratigraphic assignment of Late Cretaceous rocks in Western Serbia. Moreover, the obtained data are very important for interregional correlations.

“…In the wider studied area, Cretaceous sedimentation begins with the Albian Cenomanian transgressive sediments (FILIPOVIĆ et al, 1978). Terrigenous-carbonate and carbonate sedimentation continued to the end of the Upper Santonian (BRAGINA et al, 2014) or Campanian (GAJIĆ et al, 2011), while the overlying fl ysch sediments were deposited during the Campanian-Maastrichtian (FILIPOVIĆ et al, 1978).…”
