Abstract
This paper presents the basic structural elements of the dome of Veliki Jastrebac, as well as the chronology and mechanisms of the deformational events responsible for its formation. It was determined that the dome of Veliki Jastrebac consists of two large sequences which are, in the vertical section, in the inverse position. The lower part is made of Late Cretaceous and Cretaceous-Palaeogene low-grade to medium-grade metamorphic rocks, which are intruded by Paleogene granitoid (probably the Vardar Zone), which are covered with a large overthrust consisting metamorphics of the Serbian-Macedonian Mass. The low-grade to medium-grade metamorphosed complex of Veliki Jastrebac, with the granitoid, represents a metamorphic core complex, exhumed by mechanisms of extensional tectonics in the Paleogene.
Highlights
The geological setting of Veliki Jastrebac and its immediate surroundings, its tectonic setting, is very interesting and insufficiently defined
The uppermost level of this pile is made of high-grade metamorphics, while the lower parts are made of Paleozoic, Mesozoic and Mesozoic–Palaeogene rocks, and medium to low-grade
On the western slopes of Veliki Jastrebac, along the Naupare–Jo{anica Fault Zone (NJFZ), the gneiss is in tectonic contact with metasediments rocks of the Jastrebac Unit
Summary
The geological setting of Veliki Jastrebac and its immediate surroundings, its tectonic setting, is very interesting and insufficiently defined. There are deposits in the area of Veliki Jastrebac which are, regarding their lithology and structural-tectonic characteristics, exotic in the Serbian–Macedonian Mass.
