Many geological sites of interest that should be included in the Balkan Geological Heritage List crop out in the Slovenian part of Istria and the Adriatic coast. The following geosites should be noted: 1) flysch sedimentary rocks between Piran and Isola; 2) limestoness with Alveolina sp. and nummulites in the imbricated structures of Čičarija; 3) the tectonic imbricated Čičarija structures; 4) Palaeolithic sites; 5) caves of Skocjanska Jama; 6) the Paleocene Kozina Beds; 7) Upper Cretaceous Vreme Beds; 8) the basal Paleogene flysch beds under Vremaščica east of Pivka.
