Abstract: 

Volcanic rocks from the Eastern Rhodopes depression near to Bulgarian-Greek border are investigated. Six samples of basic altered rocks from 4 dykes and 2 larger bodies located into Kapinovo graben and Kushla volcano-tectonic structure are characterized. The K-Ar age of the basic dykes and small bodies is (31-32.5)±1.3 Ma and they are referred to the Early Oligocene (Rupelian). The time-span of the formation of the dykes corresponds as a whole to the time-span of the paroxismal volcanic events in the East Rhodope Volcanic Area.

Исследованы вулканиты Восточнородопского палеагенового понижения возле Болгаро-Греческой границы. Исследовано 6 проб измененных пород основного состава 4 даек и 2 более крупных тел, расположенных соответственно в Капиновском грабене и в Кушленской вулкано-тектонической структуре. K-Ar возраст исследованных пород  (31-32,5)±1,3 Ma относится к раннему олигоцену (рупел). Интервал возраста образования этих пород соответствует в целом диапазону возраста пароксизмальным вулканическим событиям в Восточнородопском вулканическом регионе.
