The Jebal-E-Barez Oligocene granitoid is located in the southeastern Bam, and in the southeastern part of the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Assemblage. Based on petrographic studies, this granitoid includes tonalite, granodiorite, granite and alkaligranite, which are composed of quartz, plagioclase, amphibole, biotite and alkali feldspar. The albite of plagioclase ranges from 38.38 to 67.26 percent,...

The Chalu Fe skarn developed at the contacts of the part of intrusive body with monzodiorite composition and Cretaceous carbonate rocks. Endoskarn which occurs in a limited area is characterized by andradite rich garnet (Ad90Gr5Sp3) and clinopyroxene. The calcic exoskarn shows a continuous mineralogical evolution and zonation with increasing distant from contact. It is composed mainly of coarse...

Khut skarn deposit, located in the 50 Km NW of Taft,has formedin the result of Khut granodiorite intrusion into the upper Triassic impure carbonate rocks.Field evidences and mineralogical studies show Khut skarn is calcic type and exoskarn is the major skarn zone in area which associated with ore mineralization.The microprobe analyses show that there are two major types of garnet at garnet-pyro...

Kuh e-Dom intrusion, located at the northeast of Ardestan, consists of granodiorite and diorite. The granodiorites have been intruded by various basic dikes. Plutonic rocks are mainly composed of plagioclase, biotite, amphibole, pyroxene, alkali-feldspar and quartz. Based on microprobe analysis, the biotite is classified as magnesiobiotites which typically occur at calc-alkaline orogenic igneou...

The granite-gneiss body of  Abadchi area (vicinity of Zayandeh-Rud dam) is a part of Sanandaj-Sirjan tectonic zone. The mineralogical composition of the granite- gneisses contains quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, biotite and muscovite and minor minerals of opaque, zircon, amphibole and allanite. The granite-gneiss rocks have been influenced by deformation dynamics and weakly Na-metazomatism. Ge...

Gabbroic pluton of Bagham is located in southeastern Ardestan and has intruded into Eocene volacanic rocks. The study area is a part of Central Iranian zone and Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt. Clinopyroxene, plagioclase and amphibole are main minerals in the pluton. Mineral chemistry studies show that clinopyroxenes are augite and are plotted in almost medium pressure field. The clinopyroxene co...

The study area is located at the Soghanchi village (east of Miyandoab city, NW of Iran). The Oligocene age Soghanchi stock is intruded into Permian carbonate rocks during Pyrenean orogenic epoch. Petrographically, the main minerals of this intrusive are plagioclase, biotites, pyroxenes, olivines, hornblendes, and alkali-feldspars. The microscopic and geochemical assessments of intrusive, show g...

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...
