Abstract: | Summary The island of Cres is located in the northern part of the Adriatic Sea. The island is built up of predominantly Cretaceous
carbonates deposited in north-western part of extensive and long-lasting Adriatic Carbonate Platform. Owing to the influence
of synsedimentary tectonics supported by eustatic changes during the latest Albian/Early Cenomanian, different sedimentary
environments were established: from shallow intraplatform basin and related slope, across basin margin to protected shallow-platform.
During the Early to Middle Cenomanian rudist communities (ichthyosarcolitid/caprinid/radiolitid)flourished along a relatively
high-energy intraplatform basin margin. Fair amounts of coarse-grained bioclasts, derived almost exclusively from broken rudist
shells, were deposited over a marginal depocenter. Contemporaneously, pithonellid wackestone-packstones containing microbioclasts
and planktonic foraminifera were deposited basinward while marginal bioclastic sediments and limestone blocks of the basin
margin origin were sporadically deposited within the basin. The opening of the Cres intraplatform basin was aborted and the
basin was finally filled up during the Late Cenomanian. Since the Cres intraplatform basin was established at the beginning
of the Cenomanian it probably represented the initiation phase in the north-western extension of the later Adriatic Trough
development. |
