Sefidkuh Granitoid is located west of Nehbandan (South Khorasan Province) east of Lut Block. Compositionally, this granitoid ranges from granite (monzo and synogranite), to granodiorite and tonalite. It has microgranular felsic enclaves with minerals similar to the host body. Major minerals are quartz, plagioclase, microcline, orthoclase, and biotite which were analyzed using electron probe mic...

Misho granitoid pluton is exposed at the North Western part of the Misho Mountains and at the South Western part of the Marand compresional depression. The minerals in the rocks of this pluton include unhedral to sub – hedral quartz, K – feldspar both as microcline with tartan twinning and  sub - hedral to unhedral orthoclase, two generations of biotite and zircon, subhedral to euhedral plagioc...

The Astaneh granitoid massif is located about 40 km to Arak city, central Iran, is a part of Sanandaj-Sirjan structural Zone. These intrusive rocks which are mainly composed of grnodioritic rocks, widely affected under hydrothermal alteration. The alteration zones, on the basis of field studies and mineralogy as well as the study of the REE behavior, are investigated in this paper. Eight altera...

The Shah-kuh granite batholith (South of Birjand), monozogranite and syenogranite composition, is located on the eastern edge of the Lut block and consists mainly of plagioclase, alkali-feldspar and quartz associated with biotite and tourmaline. The predominant texture of the monozogranite and syenogranite unit is granular to porphyric and granular to micrographic, respectively. Metapelite rock...
