Abstract

While raapping for the Geological Map of the F.R. of Vugoslavia, at 1:50,000, extensive epiclastic deposits were recognized (Đorđević et al., 1987-1989) in Brestovac area south of Bor and separated from Turonian volcanic rocks. In addition to pebbles of Turonian volcanic products, the deposits included pebbles of massive copper ore of Bor type, porphyric copper ore and pebbles of secondary quartzite; in volcanic Turonian rocks, under the unconformable epiclastic deposits, veins of massive copper ore were found at the mouth of the Brestovac stream. This work considers a Turonian productive copper ore emplacement and Senonian epiclastics witli Turonian ore pebbles.

Also, a general information is given about Senonian volcanism. The earlier known occurrence of Zn-Cu ore is Campanian in age, in the opinion of these authors.
