Tertiary igneous rocks of Shurab area in eastern part of Lut block include pyroxene andesite, andesite, trachy andesite, quartz andesite, diorite, quartz diorite and porphyric quartz monzodiorite. Plagioclase, hornblende, pyroxene, biotite and quartz are common minerals and alkali feldspar, opaque, sphene, apatite, tourmaline and zircon exists as minor minerals. Propylitization, chloritization,...

Astaneh granodiorite intrusion, located at south west of Arak, includes an abundant rounded and rarely ellipsoid microgranular enclaves composed of gabbro, diorite and quartz diorite. The diameter of enclaves ranges from a few millimeters to 40 centimeters. These enclaves are very fine-grained and show chilled margins. The size of crystals decreases gardually from center toword margin. The chil...

Igneous rocks of the Karaj Dam basement are mainly composed of gabbro, diorite and monzodiorite-monzonite which are locally penetrated by the quartz-monzonitic dikes. The upper and lower margins of the pluton, which has gabbroic composition, show porphyritic texture (chilled margin). The porphyritic texture in chilled margin gradually changes to the equigranular gabbro, diorite and monzod...

Late Eocene-Early Oligocene Zouzan granitoid bodies are located in northern part of Lut Block and southeast of Khaf in Khorasan Razavi Province and intruded in metamorphic and sedimentary rocks of Precambrian to Eocene. as a result of subduction of Lut Block under Helman Block ,Lut magmatism and Zoozan granitoids have been formed. The granitoid bodies are composed of granodiorite, monzonite, mo...

The Kalchuye Cu-Au deposit is located in the central part of the Urumieh – Dokhtar magmatic arc. This mineralization is mainly hosted by diorite, quartz diorite and andesite rocks. The mineralization is characterized by chalcopyrite, pyrite, galena and magnetite in the hypogen stage followed by chalcocite, covellite, malachite and goethite in supergen stage. According to the geochemical studies...

Hesaruiyeh granitoid is located about 85 Km east of Zahedan city, in the Sistan suture zone. This granitoid occurs as small stocks in Cretaceous ophiolite melange and Eocene Flysch. This granitoid is composed of granite, granodiorite and diorite. Granite and granodiorite consist mainly of quartz, plagioclase, orthoclase, biotite and hornblende and diorite is composed of plagioclase and hornblen...
