Abstract
The Timok magmatic complex (TMC) is Serbian segment of the Late Cretaceous Apuseni-Banat-Timok-Srednogorie magmatic belt, which was formed due to subduction of the Neotethys oceanic lithosphere beneath the Carpatho-Balkanides of south-eastern Europe. The back-arc basin hosting the TMC and associated sedimentary sequences was formed on the Getic tectonic unit of the Dacia mega-unit with European continental affinity. The interplay of sedimentary and magmatic processes in the TMC basin is still not fully understood. The aim of this study is to provide new insights into the coupled magmatism and sedimentation during the evolution of the TMC. Keywords: TMC basin, volcaniclastics, sedimentation
