Abstract
SEVERAL ophiolitic alignments have been classically recognised in the Dinarides and the Hellenides (Fig. 1). The Eastern alignment, located near the Serbo–Macedonian massif in the Vardar zone, shows curious associations of mafic and ultramafic rocks with granites. Here a brief description of the Guevgueli magmatic complex which belongs to the Eastern alignment helps illustrate this peculiarity: petro graphic and major element data seem to prove that these associations occur on the border of opening inter-arc basins.
