Apatite Application to Investigate Magmatic Evolution of Zouzan Granites, NE Lut Block
Authors
Abstract:
Apatite minerals of I-type Zouzan granitoids and typical garnet-bearing S-type granites have been analyzed by electron microprobe to define trace element concentrations and compare them in different granites. Zouzan granites are composed of apatites with lower Fe, Mn, Na and HREE and higher REE and ∑REE relative to S-type ones. Trace elements abundances of apatite often vary with some parameters of the host rock, especially aluminum saturation index (ASI). Strontium content of apatite is very sensitive to whole-rock composition and binary diagrams of SrO- trace elements could be used to discriminate different granites and realize magmatic evolution in a single phase. The apatite concentration of Fe, Mn, Na and HREE increases during magmatic fractionation in Zouzan pluton, while Sr and REE decreases. The difference of REE concentrations in apatites of mafic and felsic rocks of Zouzan granitoids relates to the coeval or earlier crystallization of amphibole and titanite, respectively. Acicular apatites which are present in granodiorites and mafic microgranular enclaves show exceptionally dissimilar composition in comparison with other apatites in the same sample and host rock geochemistry. Extraordinary high levels of Fe, Mn, LREE, (Sr apatite /Sr bulk-rock )>1 and unusual low HREE indicate that a more mafic magma was involved in magma genesis of Zouzan pluton and confirms magma mixing

Kinematic evidence for cordierite porphyroblast growth in a contact aureole during progressive deformation; Shah-Kuh granitoid, NE Lut Block, Iran
The Shah-Kuh granitoid has intruded in the Triassic–Jurassic, pelitic and psammitic low-grade metamorphic rocks of the NE LutBlock, in Central Iran. Cordierite porphyroblasts are common in the southern pelitic sediments, but are rare in the northern psammiticrocks, in the contact aureole. Deformation fabrics in the contact aureole are well-preserved within the cordierite porphyroblasts. Therela...

The early Proterozoic Taltson Magmatic Zone (TMZ) comprises the southern part of the Taltson-Thelon orogenic belt of northwestern Canada. The TMZ is dominated by 1.96–1.99-Ga I-type and 1.93–1.95-Ga S-type suites of granitoids. Previous workers attributed the formation of the I-type granitoids to subduction of oceanic crust beneath the Churchill craton in an Andean-type setting, and generation ...

west directed subduction zones show common characteristics, such as low structural elevation, deep trench, steep slab and a conjugate back-arc basin that are opposite to those of the east directed subduction zones. the tectonomagmatic and metallogenic setting of the lut block is still a matter of debate and several hypotheses have been put forward. despite some authors denying the influence of ...
full textSolidification fronts and magmatic evolution
From (3. F. Becker's and L. V. Pirsson's early enunciations linking the dynamics of magma chambers to the rock records of sills and plutons to this day, two features stand at the centre of nearly every magmatic process: solidification fronts and phenocrysts. The structure and behaviour of the envisioned solidification front, however, has been mostly that akin to non-silicate, non-multiply-satur...

The Zouzan area is located in the SE of Torbat-e- Heydarieh city (NE Iran). This area is located on north part of the Lut block which consists of basaltic andesite, tuff and porphyritic andesite. The purpose of this research is to investigate the enrichment of metal elements in the Zouzan area and provide a metallic geochemical model. For this purpose, 488 stream samples were analyzed using by ...
