Abstract
Paleogene sediments are broadly spread on the teritory of Republic of Macedonia, especially in the central and the eastern part, named Vardar zone and the Serbo-Macedonian massif. According to its distribution, the Paleogene in Republic of Macedonia can be divided into 4 major (larger) basins and few isolated masses, mostly located along the shells and covers with an orientation NW-SE. They are: Tikvs, Ovce Pole, Skopje-Kumanovo and Delcevo basins, as main ones, and Deve Bair, Valandovo-Gevgelija and Ilovica-Shtuka within the Strumica valley, as isolated blocks (Fig. 1 ). As a result of the lithostratigraphic studies of the Paleogene sediments taken from the above mentioned basins, 5 superpositionally distributed lithostatigraphic units (lithozones) have been divided: basal, lower, flysch, lithozone of yellow sandstones, upper flysch, lithozone and carbonate -sandy lithozone. The geological age of the sediments in all basins has been determined as Upper Eocene to Lower Oligocene on the base ofmany fossil remaiilings coming from macrofossil groups. The total thickness of the Paleogene sediments (Upper Eocen~ligocene) is estimated as 3000-3500 m (seemingly, according to some other data the thickness reaches up to 4000 m).
