Carnian bauxite horizon on the Kopitov grič near Borovnica (Slovenia) - is there a »forgotten« stratigraphic gap in its footwall?

Abstract

Beds underlying the Carnian bauxite on the Kopitov grič (Slovenia) are by the author's opinion not Carnian (Cordevolian), but Ladinian age. The considerable stratigraphical gap is presented between Carnian clastic rocks and underlying limestones and dolomites. Bauxite is result of the weathering during the emersion.
