Vitunjčica
Vitunjčica is a right tributary of the Gornja Dobra that runs through the karst polje of Vitunj, flowing into the Ogulin-Plaški valley. Name Derived from the oikonym Vitunj. Hydrology Since at least 1981, the water level of the Vitunjčica has been recorded at the Brestovica station. Its mean maximum discharge exceeds 400 l/s. At high flow, the water level at the springs is up to higher in elevation. Geology Its source is in the contact zone between Limestone and Dolomite of the Lower Cretaceous, in a basin of mostly Lower Cretaceous and Malmic Dolomite, but the constant flow indicates a significant subterranean length. The source itself is a double fracture spring, each individual crack sloped downward. There spring immediately flows as a river, without pooling.

Vitunj
Vitunj is a small village in Karlovac, Croatia, a suburb of Ogulin. Seven kilometers west of Ogulin at the river Vitunjčica, a tributary of the River Dobra (Kupa), are the ruins of the medieval Frankopan city Vitunj, about which little is known, only that in 1575, the settlement was abandoned permanently. During the Ottoman incursions, the area was deserted until 1639, when Frankopans settled Vlachs from Petrova fields. On the coast of the Vitunjčica River there is a small consumer trout fishing farm. Name ''Vitunj'' is likely derived from the anthroponym ''Vitun'', itself an addition of the suffix -unъ/ -unь to the Christian name ''Vid''/''Vit'' (< ). History WWII According to a plaque in Vitunj, having taken the oath on 15 October 1941, the following died from Vitunj: * M.?

Gornja Dobra (river)
The Dobra () is a river located mostly in the Karlovac County in the Republic of Croatia. It is long and its basin covers an area of . Its name is the feminine form of the Croatian adjective meaning "good" but it is over simplistic folk etymology. The river name probably comes from the Celtic , meaning 'water', Illyrian δυβρις () 'deep' or Old Slavonic dъbrь (, ) also 'deep' or 'valley'. Dobra rises in Gorski Kotar near Skrad and Ravna Gora, where it flows first to the north and then turns to the east. It flows past Vrbovsko, to the southeast into the city of Ogulin, where it becomes an underground stream. It takes a sharp northward turn and rises back to the surface north of Ogulin. It continues to the northeast, past the Lešće spa and a hydroelectric plant (built and in test operation ), running in parallel to the Kupa and Mrežnica, and finally flows into the Kupa north of Karlovac. The Dobra river is rich in fish and birds. The Upper and Lower Dobra river are abun ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Navicula Trivialis
''Navicula'' is a genus of boat-shaped diatom (single-celled photosynthetic organisms), comprising over 1,200 species, though many ''Navicula'' species likely do not belong in the genus strictly speaking. ''Navicula'' is Latin for "small ship", and also a term in English for a boat-shaped incense-holder.Oxford English Dictionary, "Navicula. 3" ''Navicula'' is a cosmopolitan genus and species are present in both freshwater and marine environments, typically attached to surfaces (i.e. benthic). Description ''Navicula'' species are pennate diatoms. Their valves are typically elliptical, though some species have more pinched ends than others. ''Navicula'' cells have two chloroplasts, one along each side of the valve along the girdle bands. Mobility ''Navicula'' diatoms are highly motile and move through a gliding movement This is done through excretion of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS). One form of EPS surrounds the outside of the cell and another is excreted through a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Diatom
A diatom (Neo-Latin ''diatoma'') is any member of a large group comprising several Genus, genera of algae, specifically microalgae, found in the oceans, waterways and soils of the world. Living diatoms make up a significant portion of Earth's Biomass (ecology), biomass. They generate about 20 to 50 percent of the oxygen produced on the planet each year, take in over 6.7 billion tonnes of silicon each year from the waters in which they live, and constitute nearly half of the organic material found in the oceans. The Protist shell, shells of dead diatoms are a significant component of marine sediment, and the entire Amazon basin is fertilized annually by 27 million tons of diatom shell dust transported by transatlantic winds from the African Sahara, much of it from the Bodélé Depression, which was once made up of a system of fresh-water lakes. Diatoms are unicellular organisms: they occur either as solitary cells or in Colony (biology), colonies, which can take the shape of ribb ...

Malm (geology)
The Late Jurassic is the third Epoch (geology), epoch of the Jurassic Period, and it spans the geologic time scale, geologic time from 161.5 ± 1.0 to 143.1 ± 0.8 million years ago (Ma), which is preserved in Upper Jurassic stratum, strata.Owen 1987. In European lithostratigraphy, the name "Malm" indicates rocks of Late Jurassic age. In the past, ''Malm'' was also used to indicate the unit of geological time, but this usage is now discouraged to make a clear distinction between lithostratigraphic and geochronologic/chronostratigraphic units. Subdivisions The Late Jurassic is divided into three ages, which correspond with the three (faunal) stages of Upper Jurassic rock: Paleogeography During the Late Jurassic Epoch, Pangaea broke up into two supercontinents, Laurasia to the north, and Gondwana to the south. The result of this break-up was the emergence of the Atlantic Ocean, which initially was relatively narrow. Life forms This epoch is well known for many famous types of d ...

Dolomite (rock)
Dolomite (also known as dolomite rock, dolostone or dolomitic rock) is a sedimentary rock, sedimentary carbonate rock that contains a high percentage of the mineral Dolomite (mineral), dolomite, CaMg(CO3)2. It occurs widely, often in association with limestone and evaporites, though it is less abundant than limestone and rare in Cenozoic rock beds (beds less than about 66 million years in age). One of the first geologists to distinguish dolomite from limestone was Déodat Gratet de Dolomieu, a French mineralogist and geologist after whom it is named. He recognized and described the distinct characteristics of dolomite in the late 18th century, differentiating it from limestone. Most dolomite was formed as a magnesium replacement of limestone or of Lime (mineral), lime mud before lithification. The geological process of conversion of calcite to dolomite is known as dolomitization and any intermediate product is known as dolomitic limestone. The "dolomite problem" refers to the v ...

Limestone
Limestone is a type of carbonate rock, carbonate sedimentary rock which is the main source of the material Lime (material), lime. It is composed mostly of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different Polymorphism (materials science), crystal forms of calcium carbonate . Limestone forms when these minerals Precipitation (chemistry), precipitate out of water containing dissolved calcium. This can take place through both biological and nonbiological processes, though biological processes, such as the accumulation of corals and shells in the sea, have likely been more important for the last 540 million years. Limestone often contains fossils which provide scientists with information on ancient environments and on the evolution of life. About 20% to 25% of sedimentary rock is carbonate rock, and most of this is limestone. The remaining carbonate rock is mostly Dolomite (rock), dolomite, a closely related rock, which contains a high percentage of the mineral Dolomite (mine ...
