Oxygen and hydrogen isotope evidence for meteoric water infiltration during mylonitization and uplift in the Ruby Mountains-East Humboldt Range core complex, Nevada

Stable isotope analyses of rocks and minerals associated with the detachment fault and underlying mylonite zone exposed at Secret Creek gorge and other localities in the Ruby-East Humboldt Range metamorphic core complex in northeastern Nevada provide convincing evidence for meteoric water infiltration during mylonitization. Whole-rock 6180 values of the lower plate quartzite mylonites (>95% mod...

Mineral chemistry and petrogenesis of the Amphibolites of Geysour metamorphic complex, east of Gonabad

The Geysour area is located east of Gonabad and is a part of the northern Lut block. The rocks in this area include granitoid and metamorphic rocks. Based on field and mineralogical evidence, the protolith of amphibolite rocks are calc-silicate. The metamorphic rocks of this region are divided into metapelites and amphibolites. Textures, such as post-tectonic garnet and random amphiboles, are i...

Mineral chemistry and geothermobarometry of the metapelites of Geysour metamorphic complex, east of Gonabad

Geysour area, east of Gonabad, is a part of the northern Lut block. The rocks in this area include granitoid and a series of metamorphic rocks. In metapelitic rocks, the presence of S1 schistosity and the mineral chloritoid are indicative of regional metamorphism. The presence of random textural evidence in minerals such as andalusite, staurolite, muscovite and post-tectonic garnet and silimani...
