The Upper Cretaceous deep marine deposits in NE parts of Žumberak contain sediments deposited by bottom currents - muddy, sandy and sandy-gravelly contourites. The complete (negative-positive) sequences and incomplete (negative-positive) sequences have been observed.Apart from the sediments that have been deposited by bottom currents,several turbidite layers reworked by bottom currents occur
