TREPÇA ORE BELT AND LEAD AND ZINC DISTRIBUTION IN BADOVC MINERAL DEPOSIT, KOSOVO (SE EUROPE)

ABSTRACT The Trepça Belt of Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization is located in the NNW-SSE trending Vardar zone. The Belt extends for ever 80 km, and supported five mines during period 1930-2010, and contains a number of the other Pb-Zn occurrences. The replacement and vein type mineralization is hosted primarily by Mesozoic carbonates, but also occasionally by amphibolites, and it display a clear structural control. Mineralization is spatially and genetically related to Neogene andesite-dacite extrusive and sub volcanic intrusive. We use for this paper only Badovc mine. In this paper we featured lateral distribution and inside ore bodies of Pb and Zn how two main components and Ag association with economic importance in the mineral deposit Badovc. Pb and Zn distribution within the contoured ore body in Badovc is heterogeneous. Lateral Pb, Zn and Zn/Pb ratio distributions are studied for the ore bodies 6, 7 etc. of Badovc ore deposit. Mineral deposit of Badovc, consisting of Pb-Zn-Ag mineralization, does not close genetically towards its deepest exploitation level

New records of introduced species in the Mediterranean Sea (November 2023)

This collective article presents new information about 15 introduced taxa belonging to five phyla: one Rhodophyta, one Chlo-rophyta, one Mollusca, one Annelida, two Arthropoda, and nine Chordata (one Ascidiacea and eight Osteichthyes). The records refer to eight Mediterranean countries and extend from the Alboran Sea to the Levantine Sea as follows: Spain: first record of the African hind Cephalopholis taeniops for the Alboran Sea, and a further record of the Monrovia surgeonfish Acanthurus monrovi-ae, extending its distribution northwards in the Western Mediterranean. Italy: an additional record of the squat lobster Scyllarus subarctus based on its nisto stage, new records of the lionfish Pterois miles in the north-western Ionian Sea, first records of the bivalve Fulvia fragilis for the Italian Adriatic coast, and a record of the amphipod Ptilohyale littoralis in the northern Adriatic Sea, also representing the first report for the Mediterranean Sea. Montenegro: first record of the non-indigenous ascidian Ciona robus- ta. Albania: first record of the red cornetfish Fistularia petimba. Greece: first record of the cryptogenic polychaete Alitta succinea in association with ship fouling, suggesting the possibility of a non-indigenous origin of Mediterranean populations of this species, and first record of the Seychelles dragonet Synchiropus sechellensis for the Saronikos Gulf. Turkiye: first record of the red alga Womersleyella setacea, report of an abundant population of the Indian twospot cardinalfish Cheilodipterus novemstriatus in the Turkish Aegean Sea, and first record of Synodus randalli, also corresponding to the first report for the Mediterranean Sea. Syria: first record of the blenny Istiblennius cf. meleagris. Israel: report of an algal bloom of the green alga Codium parvulum, and first record of Synchiropus sechellensis
