Conglomerate Fabric and Paleocurrent Measurement in the Braided Fluvial System of the Promina Beds in Northern Dalmatia (Croatia)

Conglomerate Fabric and Paleocurrent Measurement in the Braided Fluvial System of the Promina Beds in Northern Dalmatia (Croatia)

In the alluvial part of the Promina beds of northern Dalmatia (Late Eocene to possible Early Oligocene age) the main, SW-ward paleocurrent pattern was determined from clast orientation measurements within massive and flat-bedded conglomerates. Preferred clast fabric, facies characteristics, and down...
