| Summary: | Palaeogeographic maps of the lacustrine Miocene and Pliocene have been
constructed according to all the known geological data. The Lakes of the
Balkan Land, depending on the tectonics, migrated due to causes from the deep
subsurface. There are several phases of the Miocene lakes: the lowermost
Miocene transiting from marine Oligocene, Lower, Middle, Upper Miocene
covering, in patches, the main part of the Land. The Pliocene lakes spread
mostly to the north of the Balkan Land and covered only its marginal parts.
Other lake-like sediments, in fact freshened parts of the Black Sea
Kuialnician (Upper Pliocene), stretched along the middle and southern
portions of the Balkan Peninsula (to the south of the Balkan Mt.).
Subsequently, the Balkan Peninsula was formed. |
