Abstract

Karst caverns in the Upper Triassic dolostones of the Rusinovdel Formation are filled with allochthonous clastics (brecciaconglomerates with maximum boulder size) and locally with speleothems (flowstones). Deposition of the former (diamicton facies) by debris flows resulted from extreme flood events along the upper reaches of Struma river. The polymict material reflects erosion of various rock types in the source area but is dominated by resedimented Lower Triassic red beds. The diamictons are more or less similar to the few known examples from Quaternary karst caves.
