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...

The study area is located about 45 km of southwest Neyshabour and east of Arghash village. Both intrusive and volcanic rocks are exposed in the study area and they are intensively altered due to hydrothermal fluid. The alteration zoning in the study area consists of potassic, sericitic, carbonatization, silicification and propylitic. More than 10 intrusive rocks with composition in the range of...

There are numerous outcrops of lamprophyric rocks, as sill and dikes, in the northwestern part of Iran. These rocks can be classified in two mica- and amphibole-rich types. Amphibole-rich type includes amphibole, olivine psudomorphs, and clinopyroxene phenocrysts in the matrix of feldspar and altered glass. Mica-rich lamprophyres include mica and clinopyroxene phenocrysts in the matrix of felds...
