The High Karst Unit of the External Dinarides is a tectonic unit established by French geologists, so-called Aubouin's group, as reviewed in a recent scientific literature.[3] The unit consists of a highly tectonically deformed carbonate and clastic rock successions deposited between the Upper Carboniferous age of the Carboniferous period in the Mesozoic Era, and the Eocene epoch of the Paleogene period in the Cenozoic Era.[4][5]
