“…Having been considered for a long time as belonging to the group of the Hercynian South Bulgarian granites (Dimitrov, 1959), the "plutons of Pirin type" have been separated (Boyadjiev, 1959) as an independent group of Alpine granitoids, and later studied and discussed as such by all following authors Lilov, 1972, 1976;Zagorčev and Moorbath, 1983;Zagorčev et al, 1974Zagorčev et al, , 1987Slavov et al, 1976;Amov et al, 1982;Boyadjiev, 1989Boyadjiev, , 1991Katzkov and Marinova, 1992;Machev, 1993;Zagorčev, 1994aZagorčev, , 1995Veit et al, 2003;Milovanov et al, 2009;Sarov et al, 2010Sarov et al, , 2011Filipov andMarchev, 2011, 2012;Georgiev et al, , 2012Filipov et al, , 2014Filipov, 2014). These plutons include on Bulgarian territory the North Pirin (Dautov, Kresna), Breznitsa, Central Pirin, Teshovo (South Pirin), Goleshevo, and Lehovo magmatic bodies, and a number of small bodies and dykes, some of them playing the role of stitching bodies along the NNW prolongation of the Mesta fault zone in the Rila Mountain.…”
