| Popis: |
The Karst (Kras) region of Slovenia is one of the world’s most interesting areas of natural stone reserves. The region is mainly composed of Cretaceous shallow-water limestone, with the most common type currently excavated being the rudist limestone of the Lipica Formation, which date to the Santonian to Campanian times. The Karst region has been associated with the quarrying and processing of stone for over two thousand years, i.e. since the Roman period. The exploitation and international recognition of the Karst region provide abundant support for its nomination as a Global Heritage Stone Province. |
