Abstract

Basaltioid rocks of the Trepča area are synchronous to the Triassic low-grade metamorphic rocks series and show tholeiitic to Ca—alkaline character. According to their mineralogical and chemical composition they correspond to spilites originated on the margin of the Vardar ocean during the Lower/Middle Triassic riftogenesis. These processes induced rising of a thermal doma in the area of an ancient subduction that caused mixture of volcanic arc and deep originated within plate melts.
