The Dinarides are a mountain range that was formed by the collision between the Adriatic Plate and the Eurasian Plate, a process that began in the Middle to Late Jurassic with obduction of ophiolites onto the Adriatic margin. By the Late Cretaceous to Paleocene this process began to involve the carbonate platforms of the Adriatic Plate. These platforms were like the present day Bahamas, with areas of thick carbonate development, such as the Apulia Platform, separated by zones of deeper water, such as most of the current Adriatic ...
