Val Gardena Formation by Polhov Gradec (Slovenia)

Abstract

In two large outcrops in the Polhov Gradec area basic data on development of Val Gardena Formation as well as uranium and copper mineralization were assembled and compared to those elsewhere in western Slovenia. Among new views about tectonic structure of territory the features along the fault contact between the Hrušicva and Trnovo overthrusts nappes can be mentioned. They consist of a different development of Val Gardena beds and of explicit structural alterations of rocks considered a consequence of dynamometamorphism.
