Early Cambrian volcanic rocks of the Posht-e Badam tectonic block in Central Iran which is hydrothermally altered to green color rocks, hosts the Kiruna-type Iron Oxide-Apatite (IOA) mineralization in Anomaly 10 of Sechahun deposit. Geochemically, these volcanic rocks are classified as high-potassium calc-alkaline and mainly consist of rhyolite and trachyandesite. These rocks are important for ...

Evidence for a c. 600 Ma rifted passive margin in eastern Australia exists in the form of multiple belts of mafic volcanic rocks preserved along the western margin of the Tasman Fold Belt System, and giving rise to elongate magnetic anomalies. Outcrop, drillhole and geophysical evidence points to piles of lavas, volcaniclastic and intrusive rocks up to 6 km thick, extending for strike lengths o...

the oligocene-miocene granitic rocks of deh siahan, part of central iranian volcanic belt, are intruded into eocene volcano-sedimentary complex where their contact is marked by albite-epidote hornblende hornfels facies and granitic apophyses. the granitic rocks show enhanced lil element abundances and low hfs/lil ratios. geochemical data, various trace element discriminant diagrams, enhanced y/...

Li contents [Li] and isotopic composition (δLi) of mafic minerals (mainly amphibole and clinopyroxene) from the alkaline to peralkaline Ilímaussaq plutonic complex, South Greenland, track the behavior of Li and its isotopes during magmatic differentiation and final cooling of an alkaline igneous system. [Li] in amphibole increase from b10 ppm in Caamphiboles of the least differentiated unit to ...

Petrology and geochemical characteristics of granitic rocks from South Sulawesi, especially from Polewaliand Masamba area are presented in order to elucidate their origin of magma and geodynamic setting. The granitic rocks in these areas are dominated by granodiorite and granite in composition. Quartz, K-feldspar and plagioclase occur as major phases with hornblende and biotite as major ferroma...

introduction the nabar area that is a part of the urumieh- dokhtar volcano- plutonic belt is located in the south of kashan. research works such as emami (emami, 1993) and abbasi (abbasi, 2012) have been done about the geology of this area. rock units in the study area contain middle- upper eocene intermediate to acidic lavas and pyroclastic rocks, green marl, shale and sandy marls of oligo- mi...

Abstract Anatolia is characterised by a complex geodynamic evolution, mirrored wide spectrum of magmatism. Here, we investigated the timing and geochemical/isotopic characters Miocene to Pliocene volcanism Sivas–Malatya Region (Central Eastern Anatolia), its relationships with local regional tectonics. Na-alkaline basaltic lavas were emplaced during middle at Sivas (16.7–13.1 Ma), in North, whi...
