Croatia: Summer Vacation, Day 12: Exploring Pag
Crnika beach is the only area in the Croatian coastal region where sediments from the Miocene era, containing remains of extinct animals, can be seen and represents a potential locus typicus for freshwater Miocene in the Adriatic. Research in this area showed that the island of Pag was once a marshy area along a lake where crocodiles, small mammals, shellfish and fish lived, and everything was covered in dense wetland vegetation. Sediments found here are around 20 million years old. We found all that out while we were solving a geocache. After we answered to all the questions we moved to the Camp Škovrdara, that lies on the Northern tip of the island. Small basic camp suited us and after an evening walk (Garmin Connect) we had a peaceful night in the tent.
