Abstract
The Preadriatic Depression is located in the western part of Albania. The Preadriatic basin is formed after the main folding and .thrusting of Ionian zone and is filled with Mio-Pliocene molasse. The folding and thrusting of Preadriatic Depression is finally due to the Early Pleistocene compressional phase that is evidenced by some important structural unconformities. The Preadriatic Depression is built by some linear relatively narrow anticlines, superimposed over thrust or backthrust faults, and wide synclines.
