abstract

chaldoran area in nw of iran has mesozoic oceanic crust basement. the studied rocks of this region can be divided into three groups: ophiolitic gabbros and pillow lavas, ophiolitic volcanoclastics and eocene lava flows. ophiolitic mafic rocks show continental volcanic arc natures and eocene lava flow shows oib-like nature. during the mesozoic,the chaldoran region was situated in the active continental margin of the iranian plate due to neotetyhan subduction beneath the ssz (sanandaj-sirjan zone). as the neo-tethyan subduction regime changed, a rift in the chaldoranareagenerated, which caused a continental back arc basin during the upper cretaceous. along with spreading basin in the oceanic ridge, in the surface of new formed oceanic crust, some oceanic island were active and formed volcanoclastic rocks in the chaldoran oceanic crust. they were result of ascending continental arc nature plumes that formed in the sub-oceanic crust and up on neo-tethys subducted slab in the mantle wedge. after of finishing of spreading this basin in early time of paleocene, sedimentation followed up to the middle eocene. in the upper eocene, alkaline and oib-like volcanism was active in the chaldoranareadue to breaking off the neo-tethyan subducted slab in the sub-oceanic crust of chaldoran area and developed an asthenosphric window.

Petrological and geodynamical constraints of Chaldoran basaltic rocks, NW of Iran: evidence from geochemical characteristics

Chaldoran area in NW of Iran has Mesozoic oceanic crust basement. The studied rocks of this region can be divided into three groups: ophiolitic gabbros and pillow lavas, ophiolitic volcanoclastics and Eocene lava flows. Ophiolitic mafic rocks show continental volcanic arc natures and Eocene lava flow shows OIB-like nature. During the Mesozoic,the Chaldoran region was situated in the active cont...

GEOCHEMICAL AND PETROLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF DEH SIAHAN GRANITIC ROCKS, SOUTHWEST OF KERMAN, IRAN: DATA BEARING ON GENESIS

The Oligocene-Miocene granitic rocks of Deh Siahan, part of central Iranian volcanic belt, are intruded into Eocene volcano-sedimentary complex where their contact is marked by albite-epidote hornblende hornfels facies and granitic apophyses. The granitic rocks show enhanced LIL element abundances and low HFS/LIL ratios. Geochemical data, various trace element discriminant diagrams, enhanced Y/...

Mineralogical and Geochemical characteristics of "Khezr-Abad pluton" NW of Taft, Iran.

Khezr-Abad pluton is cropped out in North-West of Taft. This granitoid seems to be younger than the surrounding metamorphosed rocks, particularly the lower cretaceous limestones and probably is implaced during Oligo-Miocene. The most volumetric abundances of the igneous rocks are: granodiorite, granite, quartzmonzo-diorite, quartz-diorite, and in a lesser amount tonalite, quartz-syenite and ...

Mineral chemistry of clinopyroxenes of basalts from south-west of Khoy, NW Iran: determination of tectonic environment and formation conditions of basaltic rocks

The exposed volcanic rocks in south west of the Khoy area consist of basalts with minor amounts of plagioclase-phyric basalts. These rocks are composed of clinopyroxene plus plagioclase and plagioclase phenocrysts, respectively. The basaltic rocks are highly altered and contains high amounts of secondary minerals mainly chlorite and epidote. According to mineral chemistry, the composition of cl...
