Theory teaching
Introduction: general characterization of different geological settings of formation of igneous rocks. Igneous rocks of Serbia: (1) Paleozoic igneous formations (Hercynian granitoids of Eastern Serbia, gabbro-peridotite complexes of Deli Jovan and Zaglavak), graniotid olistolith of Straža (Zlatibor) and igneous rocks of Dragaš and Brod, (2) Mesozoic igneous formations: Middle Triassic formation of the Dinarides, (3) Jurassic and Cretaceous ophiolitic formations of the Dinarides and the Vardar zone and Upper Cretaceous formation of Eastern Serbia and (4) Cenozoic igneous formations: Paleogene alkali basalts formation of Eastern Srbia, late Paleogene/Neogene plutonic-volcanic formation and its smaller units, neogene granitoid formation of the southern margin of the Pannonian basin and the Miocene formation of Vojvodina. Practical teaching
Microscopic investigation of igneous rocks of Serbia, formation of data bases, processing of available data acquired by various analytical methods and different geological disciplines. |
