In this relatively small geographical area
space we encounter transformed
(metamorphic), layered (deposited, sedimentary) and
volcanic (eruptive, igneous) rocks
different geological ages. Geologically related
the neighboring territories in the west also have a composition
Serbia and eastern Bosnia, which indicates
unique genesis.
The alphabet belongs to the inner belt
Dinaric mountains. Old Paleozoic rocks that
are basically formed by creasing
approximately 300 million years ago. The largest part
Alphabet is built of Paleozoic rocks.
Southeast of Ljubovija they are represented
green shales, sandstones, limestones and
other rocks. Paleozoic rocks similar
composition are provided along the Drina, on
northwest all the way to Mali Zvornik. Close by
one third of this territory is built of
Mesozoic walls. There are mostly Jurassic ones
formations, then Triassic, and least Cretaceous.
The rocks of the Lower Triassic, gathered in wrinkles, stretch
in the form of a narrow belt in the Dinaric direction and
cover Lipnik, Bodnjik, Sokolska planina and
Tornička Bobija.
These are: conglomerates, serpentines and limestones. These
the rocks are intersected by numerous
cracks and are permeable.
Limestones formed in the Cretaceous period occur in
southeastern Alphabet. The biggest
they are widespread in the Trešnjica basin.
About 3 km northwest of Ljubovija
the outflow of dacite (Krš) was exploited. The youngest
quarterly deposits are located along the Drina and its
larger tributaries. They are represented by rivers
deposits of variable composition (gravel, sand,
sludge…).
