Časopis Geološki anali balkanskoga poluostrva - trenutno stanje i perspektive

The journal Geološki Anali Balkanskoga Poluostrva was founded by geologists and enthusiasts led by Prof. Jovan Žujović in 1888, while the first issue was published a year later. The first issue had 160 pages, containing 20 figures and a geological sketch map of the Kingdom of Serbia created by .ujovi., printed in color at a scale of 1:500000. For the first six decades, the journal did not have a regular annual periodicity, but since 1949, it has been published regularly every year. From the very beginning, the journal published articles from all geological disciplines, but also from mining, which makes it the oldest scientific and professional geological journal in Serbia, as well as in the Balkans. The journal shared the fate of the state and the people, so it was not published during the First and Second World Wars, while the general periodicity of the journal before the First World War was much weaker than between the two wars (1918.1941). Since 2017, following the publishing standards of the 21st century ] the journal has been accepting only online submission of papers through the Open Journal System (OJS) platform, which also represents the Internet presentation of the journal. In addition to the OJS platform, a digital library of the journal was created. It contains metadata about all published papers from the first to the last issue, according to the Dublin core standard, while the full PDF versions of works from 2002 are downloadable free of charge in accordance with the Creative Commons Attribute 4.0 International (CC BY) license. The editorial board plans to publish two issues per year since 2018, which is a basic precondition for a journal to be included in the evaluation process for assigning impact factor and indexing in the SCIe list

New paleomagnetic results from the Inner Dinarides, SW Serbia

As a result of the paleomagnetic co-operation between Hungarian and Serbian specialists in the last decades a paleomagnetic paper was published about the Fruška Gora (Lesić et al., 2007) and an other one about the magnetic fabrics of the intrusive and extrusive magmatic rocks of the Kopaonik area (Lesić et al., 2013). During more recent years several overstep sequences were tested from the Western Vardar zone. The aim of our present study was to find out if the units belonging to the Inner Dinarides rotated in the same sense as the overstep sequences or different rotations occurred. For that reason we sampled 12 localities within the research area. Five of which represent Late Cretaceous sediments in the area of Tara Mt., while the others geographically distributed Triassic and Jurassic succession. The sampled localities belong to different thrust sheets

The evolution of a key segment in the Europe – Adria collision: the Fruška Gora of northern Serbia

The large number of roll-back systems in Mediterranean orogens poses interesting questions concerning interacting extensional back-arc deformation driven by different slabs. One such area characterized by a critical lack of kinematic studies is the connection between the Carpathians and Dinarides, where the Fruška Gora is an isolated inselberg of basement and Mesozoic cover surrounded by Miocene sediments. This area recorded a complex evolution related to the Cretaceous-Paleogene collision between Europe- and Adria-derived tectonic units, the Miocene extension of the Pannonian Basin and its subsequent inversion. This evolution has been analysed in a kinematic study combined with biostratigraphic and Rb-Sr thermochronology of sediments and theirmetamorphism. Results demonstrate a poly-phase tectonic evolution and allowed the discrimination of deformation events and basement affinities. The protolith of the Fruška Gora metamorphic core contains a typical Triassic-Jurassic sequence of the distal Adriatic margin that is overlain by Upper Cretaceous-Paleogene sediments deposited in the Neotethys subduction zone. A part of this basement still records a Late Jurassic (~148 Ma) burial metamorphic event that is associatedwith the coeval structural emplacement of overlying oceanic crust. Three successive deformation eventswere associatedwith the Latest Cretaceous-Early Oligocene contraction. The subsequent exhumation of the Fruška Gora metamorphic core started at ~28 Ma in the footwall of a large extensional detachment and continued by normal faulting during Early-Middle Miocene times. The large-scale extension took place during the extension of the Pannonian Basin and was associated with coeval translations and clockwise rotations of the Fruška Gora. Its present-day antiformal geometry truncated by high-angle reverse faults with S-ward vergence was established during the inversion of the Pannonian Basin, an effect of the late stage Pliocene-Quaternary Adriatic indentation. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.
