Metamorphic rocks in SW Arak composed from two groups including regional and contact metamorphism. Regional metamorphic rocks are composed of slate, phyllite and micaschists and locted in green-schist facies and contact metamorphic rocks are composed of spotted schist and hornfels respectively. Mineralogically, these rocks are composed of quartz, chlorite, muscovite, biotite and cordierite. Pet...

The Deh-Salm Metamorphic Complex (DMC) is composed of metapelite, metabasite, metaperidotite, and calc-silicate rocks and is one of the few outcrops of the Lut block’s basement which emerged near to the Sistan suture zone. In the eastern part of the Deh-Salm metamorphic complex, the calc-silicate and marble appeared in the form of elongated tectonic lenses that have been metamorphosed in simila...

There are metabasite exposures inside ophiolitic belt of northwest Sabzevar that metamorphosed under high pressure granulite facies. On the basis of mineralogical paragenesis, reactional textures between different mineralogical assemblages, textural and mineralogical relations between inclusion and porphyroblast and stability fields of different mineralogical assemblages, five stages of evoluti...

One of the metamorphic rocks in the Nain ophiolitic mclange is skarn which is fonned during the contact metamorphism of intrusive tonalites with their neighboring limestones and carbonate parts of banded cherts. Minerals of these skarns consist of carbonate (calcite). clinopyroxene (diopside). garnet (grossular-andradite). wollastonite, sphene and epidote. Also tonalites contain quartz, pl...
