Mineralogical-petrogrpahic and chemical composition of the granitoid rocks from the locality Kalen, western Macedonia

Abstract

In this paper are shown the results of the mineralogical-petrographic and chemical study of granitoide rocks from the Kalen locality. The mineralogical-petrographic characteristics of samples that were taken, has been determined by use of the polarized light microscope Leitz Vetzlar, Germany. The mineralogical composition was determined by the X-ray diffraction method of the dust samples (XRD) and using scanning electron microscope. Based on the geological investigations performed on the field and laboratory study of the particular samples taken from the granitoid rocks from Kalen locality, were determined the following types of rocks: coarse grained granodiorite and porhpyroidal granodiorite.
