Abstract

This paper provides preliminary data about the influence of gray and yellow lichens on the monuments in the Stobi archeological site. The origin of the minerals which adhere to the rhizine/hyphae was also determined. According to the SEM results, small grains of minerals are found in lichens which originated from parent rocks or weathering. In the lichens on marble the presence of the following minerals was determined: calcite, dolomite, Fe carbonate, Ca silicate, Ca, Fe, Al silicate and Fe, Al silicate. Carbonate minerals come from marble while silicates are the result of weathering.In lichens on sandstone the following minerals were determined: K, Al silicate, Ca carbonate quartz, Fe, Mg silicate, Fe-oxide, zircon, and Na, Ca, Al silicate. Carbonate minerals are the result of weathering while other determined minerals originate from sandstone. Clay minerals are the result of the decomposition of feldspars.
