This study included the testing of normal (Gaussian) distribution of input data and, consequently, spatially interpolating maps of chemical components and cement modules in the flysch. This deposit contains the raw material for cement production. The researched area is located in southern Croatia, near Split, as part of the exploited field "St. Juraj-St. Kajo". There are six lithological units: (1) alternation of marls and sandstones with inclusions of conglomerates, (2) marl, (3) calcsiltite, (4) calcarenite, (5) marl with nummulites, (6) debrites, and (7) clayey marl. All of them are deposited in the (a) northern and (b) southern beds. Only debrites are divided into the (a) western and (b) eastern layers. Those lithological units were divided technologically based on their cement modules (lime saturation factor (LSF), silicate module (SM), and aluminate module (AM)). The average thicknesses were analysed, followed by normality tests (Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) and Shapiro-Wilk (S-W)) of the chemical analyses: CaO, SiO2, Al2O3, Fe2O3, MgO, SO3, Na2O, K2O, CaCO3 (%) and three cement modules (LSF, SM, AM), available in the six lithological units. The normality tests were applied based on a number of input data. The further interpolation was performed using two methods, kriging and inverse distance weighting, mapping CaO (%), SiO2 (%), and LSF (-) in three different lithological units. The interpolation methods were selected based on two criteria: (a) normality test pass or fail and (b) the amount of data. In total, 144 tests were calculated, including sets from 7 to 36 points. The results show the current situation in the quarry, after decades of production, making reliable the future predictions of cement raw material exploitation.
