Post collision magmatism and metallogeny at the southern part of the Balkan Peninsula, SE-Europe

Abstract

The Tethyan Eurasian metallogenic belt (TEMB) was formed during Mesozoic and post-Mesozoic times in the area of the former Tethyan ocean on the southern margin of
 Eurasia, with the Afro-Arabian and Indian plates to the south. It extends from the western Mediterranean via the Alps and southeastern Europe through the Lesser
 Caucasus, the Hindu Kush, and the Tibet Plateau to Burma and SW Indonesia, linking with the West Pacific metallogenic belt. The Carpatho-Balkan region is one of the sectors of the TEMB, characterized by specific features.
