The Lower Cretaceous paraflysch forms an outstanding, 250 km-long belt in the Vardar Zone. It is composed of a basal unit, uncomformable over Jurassic limestones and older rocks, and of two megasequences with the a clastic lower and clastic-carbonate upper member. In this study, We analyzed the orientation of the sedimentary bedding, cleavage and schistosity, fold hinges and axial surfaces and cleavage - bedding intersection lineation, were analysed. The area experienced two phases of folding, first with fold hinges oriented NNW and the second with hinges oriented WSW. The regularities of these structures and their relationships are, as shown by these investigations, only statistically to be used in practical study of fabric
