Abstract: The Munella Mountain is located in the Mirdita area, in the northeastern part of Albania. Berrisian, Valanginian deep-water flysch deposits. Unsorted breccias, including large blocks of ophiolites and Triassic limestones lie at the base of the Berriasian. Marls, sandstones, conglomerates with rare limestone intercalations characterize the upper part of the Berriasian. Sandstones and marls with abundant molluscs form the base of the Barremian-Aptian deposits. The highhest part of the section consists of platform limestones in Urgonian facies. An interruption in sedimentation during the Hauterivian was caused by the Mirditean orogeny.
Keywords: Barremian-Aptian; berriasian; Valanginian
