Abstract

The Pelagonian metamorphic complex, or tectono-stratigraphic complex, extends approximately 420 km in length and 60 km in width in a NNW-SSE orientation, forming part of the central Hellenides. The occurrence of pegmatites within the Pelagonian metamorphic complex is quite common. They appear within the metamorphic complex of the gneisses and in direct contact with the granitic intrusive bodies. Mainly these pegmatite bodies are made of quartz, feldspars, micas (bioite, muscovite, paragonite, vermuiculite) as well as are the occurrence of rare minerals such as tourmalines, epidotes, apatites, garnets and zircons. The paper presents the new information related to the age of two pegmatitic bodies by the U/Pb dating and the K/Ar dating: Alinci and Čanište. The obtained age is Cretaceous.
