The explore of the development of the Bihać and Cazina basins by applying gravity data

Abstract

The Bihać and Cazina basins, classified as Neogene formations, are situated within the external Dinarides, originating during the late stages of Dinarides' evolution. To scrutinize the developmental trajectory of these basins, gravitational data proves instrumental. Employing diverse mathematical transformation techniques on gravity data unveils the gravitational influence of the low-density Neogene basins, facilitating the detection of structures potentially linked to their genesis. Contacts delineated through these transformations predominantly exhibit a northwest-southeast extension, characteristic of the Dinaric region. Additionally, distinctive lineaments, diverging in orientation, were noted in the central survey area, stretching southwest-northeast. These features likely played a role in segregating the depocenter, thereby fostering the bifurcation of the basins, instead of a singular formation.
