Geological structure of karst stratigraphical windows at Škocjan Caves, Slovenia

Abstract

Article highlights Detailed (in-situ) geological mapping of the karst surface and subsurface is emphasized as important base for all future karst studies. Karst stratigraphical windows that differ from tectonic windows, were reported for the first time. The geology of Škocjan Caves with collapse dolines, is a reference point for other sites, that might have karst stratigraphical windows.
