  • Metallogeny of the Zlatoustovo Volcano-Tectonic Depression (Eastern Rhodopes)
    Annual of the University of Mining and Geology "St. Ivan Rilski" vol.45, part I, Geology, Sofia, 2002, pp. 51-56 METALLOGENY OF THE ZLATOUSTOVO VOLCANO-TECTONIC DEPRESSION (EASTERN RHODOPES) V. Georgiev1, B. Kolkovski2, N. Metodiev3, P. Milovanov3 1University of Mining and Geology “St Ivan Rilski”,1700 Sofia, Bulgaria, E-mail:[email protected] 2Sofia University “St Kliment Ohridski”, 1000 Sofia, Bulgaria 3Geology and Geophysics, 1505 Sofia, Bulgaria ABSTRACT The Zlatoustovo volcano-tectonic depression originated during the Paleocene in the area around Zlatoustovo fault zone. This fault zone trends E-W and separates Harmanli and Southeastern Rhodopes blocks in the Eastern Rhodopes. The following structures, from north to south, are divided within the Zlatoustovo depression: Lozen depression, Ibredjeck horst, Bryagovo depression and Madjarovo step. Coal occurrences are related to Paleocene and Eocene terrigenous sediments. The volcanic activity started towards the end of the Priabonian and continued during the Oligocene. The volcanics belong to the high-K Ca-alkaline and shoshonitic petrochemical series. Initially, several acid volcanoes developed along the Zlatoustovo fault zone. Zeolite deposits are related to pyroclastic varieties in these volcanoes. Polymetallic ore mineralizations associate with Sveta Marina volcano. The Lozen Au-polymetallic ore field is connected, both spatially and genetically, to Lozen volcano. The Madjarovo latite volcano, centred by a monzonitoide intrusion, developed in the area of Madjarovo step. Stratified Mn ore occurrences associate with the initial stages of the evolution of this volcano. The Madjarovo Au-polymetallic ore field is related to the final stages. The ore deposits are epithermal, of low- sulfidation type, and mainly vein-like.

The low pathogenic form generally only causes mild symptoms, while the highly pathogenic form results in very high mortality rates in most species of birds. That disease may have a severe impact on the profitability of poultry farming.

  • Bulgaria Late Spring 2019
    ABSTRACT A holiday by public transport to the Eastern Rhodopes and the Black Sea coast in search for birds and other wildlife. Author Sander Bruylants - [email protected] BULGARIA LATE SPRING 2019 An independent journey Introduction Longing for a holiday I decided to pack my stuff beginning of June. I felt it was time again to discover Europe. Since I don’t want to fly within Europe I decided to make it a journey by train and bus. The south-eastern Balkan was uncharted territory for me, so I made for Bulgaria. This country hold some specialties within Europe, like Masked Shrike, Eastern Bonelli’s Warbler, Semi-collared Flycatcher, Eastern Olivaceous Warbler, Olive-tree Warbler, Paddyfield Warbler, … Also Eleonora’s Falco is possible, which come and hunt in the south. Add some attractive landscapes and other wildlife and I was sold. I focussed on the Eastern Rhodopes (referred to as Rhodopes from now) since they hold most of my targets and I had heard it’s a very nice place. The landscape in the Rhodopes is a mixture of rugged rocky areas, rolling hills and plains covered with woodlands and extensive cultivated landscapes. Rivers cross the landscape and artificially made reservoirs can be found. It is a fairly remote area but still rather easy to travel without a car. Madzharovo is the centre for nature tourism due to the presence of one of the only Griffon colonies in Bulgaria. There is a Nature Conservation Centre which has an exhibition about the area and its inhabitants. Another gem from the Rhodopes is the Bulgarian Emerald (Somatochlora borisi), this species of dragonfly was discovered in 1999 ( and described in 2001) at the Byala Reka in the south of the Rhodopes.
