A specific genetic type of dolomite, unknown in the rest of the world, is to be found in the freshwater basins of Miocene age in the Inner Dinarides (or Inner Dinaric Alps) of Yugoslavia and has been named hydrothermal-sedimentary dolomite. This dolomite is present as beds and lenses in the normal lacustrine basin sedimentary rocks, which are synchronic and concordant. The largest and best studied mass of this rock is the Braneshci deposit in the Braneshko Polje basin. Study of the genesis of hydrothermal-sedimentary dolomite may offer new assistance in answering “the dolomite question.”
