The Šoštanj Fault (pronounced [ˈʃoːʃtan]; Slovene: Šoštanjski prelom) is a fault in Slovenia.[1] It connects the Periadriatic Fault with the Lavanttal Fault and strikes NW-SE. Movements along the fault are dextral strike-slip and took place in the Pliocene.[2][3] The fault is named after the town of Šoštanj.
