Triassic Oncoids from Central Balkanides (Bulgaria)

  • Conference paper
Coated Grains

Abstract

Recently an attempt has been made to modify the traditional concepts of the bathymetric and energy significance of oncoids in paleofacies interpretations (Peryt 1981). It has been pointed out that oncoids are important indicators of breaks and low rates of sedimentations as well as of positive tectonic lineaments and nearshore facies (Weiss 1969, Toomey 1974, Peryt 1977, 1981). It seems that the study of the oncoids occurring in the Ladinian-Carnian sediments of Central Balkanides may throw some light on the problem.
