Abstract

The object of this paper are some considerations on the geologic features of the region north to Shkumbin river in Albania based on the latest data from the complex studies on the relations of Kruja and Ionian zones with the South Adriatic basin. The paper highlights the tectonic features of the prognosis deep structures, facies types etc. The folding phases for this region are of Chattian, Burdigalian and Tortonian when the structures of the eastern part of Kruja zone are folded at an earlier geologic time as compared to the structures foreseen to be encountered at the western part of region. The lower tectonic stage in the studied region, as compared to the know structures of Ionian zone to the south and of Kruja zone in the east, appear with less developed tectonics and less effected by the folding tectonic phases. The influence of these folding phases over Kruja and Ionian tectonic zones has been considerable causing a mighty folding of structures and at the same time their big overlapping to the west. These facts drive us to the conclusion that the Ionian zone structures and consequently the separate tectonic belts within this zone must not extent to the north.
