Original use
The described article presents the results of the geological research in Idrija and the foundations of the research in the field of tectonic structure and stratigraphy of the Idrija ore deposit. Mlakar was already researching this field at the time of preparation of his diploma thesis. He highlighted the findings that were formed on the basis of mapping Idrija ore deposit and its surroundings, which he performed in cooperation with the Geological Institute Ljubljana and under the leadership of Boris Berceta. Among other things, Mlakar’s article proved five stratigraphic levels of dolomite (Upper Permian, Lower Scythian, Upper Scythian, Anisian and Noricum) according to the previous one, Anisian. At the end of the 1950s and in the 1960s, the globally known “Idrija School of Geology” was founded, and it was established by Dr Ivan Mlakar.
Present use
The article is being preserved, secured and presented as important mining heritage of Idrija with exceptional universal values. It is kept in the collection of library material (in analogue and digital form) and is available for borrowing.
