Abstract:
The territory of Macedonia experienced long-term geological evolution. Its majority is occupied by the Serbian–Macedonian and Pelagonia crystalline massifs, separated by the Mesozoic Vardarian riftogenic graben. Macedonia is located in the Serbian–Macedonian part of the Eurasian Tethys metallogenic belt. Mineralization related to the Cenozoic activation in this area is expressed in the formation of volcanoplutonic associations in the dispersed spreading environment. The activation spanned the Serbian–Macedonian Massif and part of the Vardarian riftogenic zone. Superimposed structures of this period occur as narrow NW-trending grabenlike depressions complicated by local ring structures of the chamber type.
