Abstract

The geology of Serbia is dominated by the Dinaride-Hellenide orogen that consists of lithological units with heterogeneous cherty material. This material occurs mainly within the Triassic porphyry-chert formation and the Jurassic diabase-chert formation. The latter is associated with a complex ophiolitic melange. These units contain blocks and olistoliths of layered and massive cherts and radiolarites, sometimes up to 15 m thick. In addition, post-ophiolitic Cretaceous limestones of western and eastern Serbia contain cherts and radiolarites as nodules and lenses, and they usually show gradual transitions to limestones or silicified limestones. This widespread cherty material, which could be used to knap the stone artefacts fount at prehistoric sites in Serbia, is very poorly characterized in terms of petrological and geochemical features.
