Evolution of recorded microstructures in minerals during cooling of Zarrin intrusion, evidence for dynamic deformation

The Zarrin granitoids is located in the west of Yazd block, Central Iran. Zarrin granitoids exhibit mylonitic rocks ranging from protomylonitic to mylontic. In Zarrin granitoids examples of sub-magmatic, microstructures are represented by chessboard patterns in quartz and sub-magmatic fractures in plagioclase, indicating deformation at high-temperature conditions (T > 650º C) and the presence of melt. Some microstructures such as feldspar bulging, quartz grain boundary migration, and subgrain rotation recrystallization imply solid state-high temperature deformation (T > 450º C).  Solid state-low temperature deformation microstructures (T < 450º C) include mica kinks, quartz bulging, feldspar twinning and bending. Sequence of microstructures from sub-magmatic to low-temperature solid-state deformation revealed shear-related deformation at developed during cooling of granitoids at different times and depths. Further, it shows overprinting of low temperature microstructures on earlier sub-magmatic and HT sub-solidus microstructure indictes. Zarrin granitoids recording deformation in the presence of a residual melt during crystallization by submagmatic microstructures and the full crystallization and cooling of the magmatic body by low temperature microstructures.
