Neoproterozoic and Palaeozoic rocks of the Mérida Massif (SW Iberia) have been grouped into tectonostratigraphic units. Each unit is separated from rest ones by either crustal-scale thrusts and/or extensional detachments. The lowermost (Magdalena Gneisses; lower plate) has continental crust affinity, below a mafic-ultramafic ensemble, referred to as Ophiolite (suture zone). Serie Negra Group co...

The study area is a part of so-called Sanandaj-Sirjan zone or Zagros imbricate zone of the Zagros Orogen, Iran. The Hamedan region comprises a metamorphic sequence of low- to high-grade regional and contact metamorphic rocks intruded by mafic, intermediate and felsic plutonic bodies. The sequence comprises pelitic, psammitic, mafic, calc-pelitic and calc-silicate rocks.  Pelitic rocks are the m...

This paper presents one of the significant results research Prof. Dr. Milodrag Andjelkovic. The study underlines first field record providing evidence Upper Cretaceous bimodal magmatism that eventually led towards definition Late ?Sava?Vardar Zone? in 2002 (Pamic, 2002). Currently, 20-years old i.e., Sava Suture Zone regarded as a crustal assembly formerly intervening amalgamated Adria and sout...
