Source Identification of Some Granitic Xenoliths in Volcanic Rocks

Petrology and source of Plio-Quaternary volcanic rocks in southwest of Nir, South of Yazd

In the southeast of Nir, south of Yazd Povince, several acidic volcanoes  rocks are exposed and form the youngest volcanic rocks in this region with dacite-rhyodacite composition. These rocks are composed of plagioclase, hornblende, biotite and quartz phenocrysts with trachytic and hyallomicrolithic porphyry texture. Based on geochemical data, the magmatic affinity of these rocks is calc-alkali...

mineralogy and geochemistry of xenoliths in the eocene volcanic rocks from southwest of jandaq

the eocene volcanic rocks from the southwest of the jandaq (kuh-e-godar-e-siah, central-east iran micro-continent) are andesitic basalt and andesite in composition. these rocks contain xenoliths with granulitic mineralogy. mineral assemblage of these xenoliths is plagioclase + phlogopite + corundum + sillimanite + chlorite + phengite with granublastic, poiklioblastic and foliated textures in th...

Generalized Titanomagnetite in Hawaiian Volcanic Rocks'

A ferromagnetic oxide mineral with spinel structure was separated from Hawaiian volcanic rocks ranging from basalt to trachyte . The chemical compositions of all the specimens have been arranged on an oxygen reaction line, and can safely be interpreted as the result of a process of either oxidation or reduction of material with composition on or near this line. In the trachyte the mineral was f...

clinopyroxene application in petrogenesis identification of volcanic rocks associated with salt domes from shurab (southeast qom)

introduction the study area is located in the shurab area that is about 50 km southeast of qom. volcanic rocks of the shurab area have basaltic composition that is associated with salt and marl units. igneous rocks of the shurab area have not been comprehensively studied thus far. clinopyroxene composition of volcanic rocks, and especially the phenocrysts show magma chemistry and can help to id...
