Abstract
The Delčevo Basin is located in the NE part of the Republic of Macedonia. To the norhteast, the basin extends locally to the area of Crna Skala (close to the Macedonian/Bulgarian border), and continues on the territory of Bulgaria (Fig. 1). The Paleogene sediments of the Delčevo Basin are developed in several outcrops with NNW-SSE trends, usually lying transgressively upon the high-grade metamorphic and magmatic rocks of the Serbo-Macedonian Massif, and mostly covered by Neogene effusive and sedimentary rocks. At some places the Paleogene sediments were found to be disrupted. The first evidence for the presence of Paleogene in the Delčevo Basin was provided by Belmustakov (1948), who dated these sediments as Oligocene. Based on the study of gastropods, bivalves and other fossil gropus, Temkova (1957) and Gjuzelkovski (1959) determined the overal age of the Paleogene rocks in the Delčevo Basin as Late Eocene, and Kovačevič et al. (1973) referred them to the Priabonian. This study aims to achieve a further understanding of the age of the Paleogene sediments from the Delčevo Basin by means of micropaleontological examination of foraminifer fauna.
