Summary Interpretation of geophysical data, gravimetric and geomagnetic, performed for the area of the northern part of Timok igneous complex, is presented in the paper. Research area belongs to the central part of the Carpatho balkanides, eastern Serbia. The aim was to perform detailed structural and geological analysis of research area, based on data of the acceleration of gravity anomalies, as well as data on the anomalies of vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field (Z). In the paper, the following applied mathematical transformations are presented: filtering, elimination of regional phone, calculate the higher derivative, analytical extension of the field. According to detailed analysis of geophysical maps, existence of acid igneous rocks, widespread in this research area, mostly underneath the sediments, was defined. According to the analysis of geophysical maps, igneous rocks in the form of smaller bodies, which are concentrated near the fault, are present under sedimentary rocks.

Introduction
Interpretation of geophysical data, gravimetric and geomagnetic, performed for the area of the northern part of Timok igneous complex is shown in the paper. The aim of exploration was to perform detailed structural and geological analysis of research area, based on data of the acceleration of gravity anomalies, as well as data on the anomalies of vertical component of Earth's magnetic field (Z). Research area belongs to the central part of the Carpatho balkanides, eastern Serbia. It is situated between 44 and 44 20 ' north latitude and between 21 49' and 22 15 ' north longitude. Investigation area is characterized by complex geological structure, which was presented by metamorphic, igneous and sedimentary rocks, which have been formed during the long geological history.

Methodology For making maps of Bougues anomalies, the average density of rock mass of 2.60 t/m3 was used. The average density of points for the entire field is 1-point to 1 km2. Analysis of geomagnetic data is based on the examination of anomalies of vertical component of the Earth magnetic fields. The average density of points for the entire field is 1 point to 4 km2.

In the paper, the following applied mathematical transformations are presented: filtering, elimination of regional phone, calculation the higher derivative and analytical extension of the field.

Conclusions According to interpretation of gravimetric and geomagnetic maps, and maps made on the basis of applied mathematical transformations (figure 1, 2, 3, 4), several anomaly zones were distinguished. Result of detailed analysis of geophysical maps is the existence of acid igneous rocks, which are widespread in this research area, mostly underneath the sediments. According to the analysis of geophysical maps, it was determined that under sedimentary rocks are igneous rocks in the form of smaller bodies, which are concentrated near the fault. Based on the geophysical maps confirmed the consistent fault zones, which are detected by geological research. Predominant direction of faults is N/NW- S/SE and N/N S/SW. References
