The Gol-Gohar metamorphic complex, a part of east Sanandaj-Sirjan zone, is located 55 km southwest of Sirjan. This complex consists of metapelitic, metapsammitic and metacarbonatic rocks. Field and geochemical evidence indicate that these sedimentary protolith sequences were composed of shale and sandstone alternation with carbonate layers in the upper parts. In the studied metapelites, garnets...

The Anjir Khajeh area is located in the southern part of Sanandaj-Sirjan metamorphic belt in northwest of Golgohar iron mine. The rock units of the region include metabasites, metasediments, igneous and sedimentary rocks. Metasedimentary rocks containing mica-schist, garnet schist, and garnet staurolite schist, having metamorphosed into greenschist facies and amphibolite facies. Garnet mineral ...

The 43Ma Gapdan granitoid pluton is a part of Zahedan-Saravan granitoid belt and is located about 50 km NW of Zahedan. The pluton is mainly composed of biotite granite and granodiorite in composition and consists of quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar, biotite, Fe-Ti oxides, zircon, apatite, and allanite. The granitoid rocks are mainly granular in texture, although they display poikilitic, perthite...

The rhyolitic flows and sills in the extremity of Ghal'eh-chay river (East of Ajabshir, East Azerbaidjan) are exposed in the Lalun sandstone deposits. Compositionally, these rocks are rhyolite and are composed of euhedral quartz phenocrystals and subhedral perthitic orthoclases in a glassy to fine grained matrix containing quartz, k-feldspar and minor sodic plagioclases. There are not any ferro...

Kalchoyeh copper deposit is located about 110 km east of Isfahan, in Central Iran, Urumieh- Bazman volcanoplutonic belt. Host rocks of this deposit are Eocene volcanic rocks and tuffs which are pyroxene andesitic lava and sandy and lithic tuffs. Sandy tuffs are the main host rocks of the deposit. Ore mineralization is taken place as veins and veinlets and quartz is the main gangue mineral. Hypo...

Hormuz series in Zendan salt dome, Neoprotozoic-Early Cambrian rocks is located near Bandar-e-Lengeh in western Hormozgan Province. In this salt dome, iron calcic skarns are present near the basic igneous bodies that have copper hydrothermal deposits. Carbonate sedimentary sequences, carbonate tuffs and igneous rocks are the host rocks of these skarns. The calcsilicates in the endoskarn include...

Mineral chemistry of micas from the subduction-related mafic and felsic alkaline rocks of the Kaleybar alkali-gabbro and the Bozqush nepheline syenite was determined. The micas generally occur as large poikilitic grains with Fe-Ti oxides and mafic minerals and give the rocks a spotted texture. Micas in the alkali-gabbro sometimes display a distinct lamination. Based on the International Mineral...
