Minor Karst Landforms as an Indirect Method for Datation- the Case Study Valley Pod Košuto (Slovenia)

Prispevek obravnava pleistocensko morfogenezo doline Pod Kosuto, ki je bila eno od obmocij detajlnega preucevanja pleistocenske morfogeneze porecja Tržiske Bistrice. Dolina izkazuje ledenisko preoblikovanje, genetsko problematicno pa se je izkazalo karbonatno gradivo, ki se v vecjem obsegu pojavlja na desni strani doline. S pomocjo litoloske analize gradiva, meritev zaobljenosti gradiva ter z meritvami drobnih kraskih denudacijskih oblik – mikrožlebicev ocenjujemo obdobje odložitve gradiva na sedanjem, sekundarnem mestu The paper presents the Pleistocene morphogenesis research in the valley Pod Kosuto. The area was one of the detailed studies in the wider research of the Pleistocene morphogenesis in Tržiska Bistrica river basin. Ice movements infl uenced the formation of valley Pod Kosuto, but the research deals more with the genesis of the carbonate material that fi lls the right side of the valley. Researching the lithologic characteristics of the material, the measurements of particle roundness and with the help of the minor karst landforms measurements we offer the new view of the material deposition in the secondary – present location.
