Senon rudist limestone from upper Cretaceous age (K23) is most widely spread in the island formatting lateral sides of synclines, namely, anticlines They are most frequently covered by younger Tertiary deposits in synclinal parts accumulating one above the other on carbonate sediments of Cennoman-Touron. Marl, sandstone and limestone (E2,3) frequently called flysch accumulated on the carbonate complex in the middle and upper Eocene filling the syncline beds of the Pag valley, Vlašići and Povljana fields, and at Smokvica They are very often covered with younger Quaternary sediments (Novalja field) and so do not come out on the surface, or are sunk in sea bays and channels (The Pag bay etc.).
