Spid pluton with Neogene age outcrop in the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic belt. Amphibole in this intrusion is calcic and magmatic and its composition corresponds to magnesiohornblende to actinolite which reflects the type I granitoid. Geobarometry calculations show that the amphibole crystalized at pressure of 2.5 to 3.7 kbr corresponding to a depth of 8 to 12 km. Based on geothermometry of hornble...

The objective of this study was to investigate the clay mineralogy of soils derived from different parent materials in Binaloud zone, western Mashhad. Two soil profiles on the summit of granitic, ultrabasic and metamorphic rocks were described and sampled from genetic horizons. Clay fraction of the soils was analyzed using X-ray diffraction method. Chlorite, smectite, mica, amphibole and regula...

The studied bodies are located in the west of Urumieyeh Lake and northeast of Oshnavieyeh, in the Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone. Compositionaly, these bodies are formed from gabbro-diorite (Dourbeh) and granite (Nari). Gabbrodiorite rocks are composed of plagioclase (andesine to bytownite), amphibole (calcic group and magnesio-hornblende-tschermakite-hornblende type) and pyroxene (augite) as ...
