Abstract:

Based on REEs abundances, Eu anomalies, Ce anomalies and some interelementcorrelations two different groups of rocks are distinguished in the Vinta graniteintrusion, sustained also by the Zr/Hf and Nb/Ta ratios. These rocks belong to the VAG and syn - COLG tectonic setting. Two different magma types are proposed for the rocks formation.
