The Eocene volcanic rocks exposed in the NW Sechangi area of Lut block, include pyroclastic deposits and lavas. These volcanic rocks are basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite, andesite-trachyandesite, trachydacite, dacite and rhyolite-ignimbrite in composition. Based on our field observations, the volcanic rocks erupted in four stages in the aquous to subaerial environments. The volcanic rocks ar...

Deylaman area lies on Paleogene volcanic rocks in Western Alborz near the border between Central and Western Alborz structural zones. The succession of Paleogene rocks in the area is comprised of three separate phases each of which representing one stage of volcanic events. The main purpose of this paper is to study the lithologic sequence and geochemical characteristics of phase two volcanic r...

Hasht-Sar Kaleybar mafic, ultramafic and syenitic dykes are surrounded by Majid Abad Formation, Palaeocene age, volcanic deposits. The suite is restricted within the Horand, Mahmud Abad and Mokhtekan thrust and reverse faults. Clinopyroxenites, the oldest unit of the suite, have tholeiitic volcanic arc character and have some similarities with tectonite layer of oceanic crust, like Group A pyro...

Eocene volcanic rocks in SW of Choupanan are exposed along the Choupanan fault as lava with andesite, trachyandesite to dacite composition and pyroclastic rocks. This area is a part of Central Iran (Yazd block). Andesite is the most predominant rock unit of the area and is composed of feldspars (andesine, oligoclase, and sanidine), amphibole (magnesio hastingsite, magnesian hastingsite, magnesi...

The study area is situated within the Lut Block 50 Km northeast of Ferdows. The oldest exposed rocks are Cretaceous limestone. Kerman conglomerate cover the limestone. Dacite-rhyodacite lava and pyroclastic rocks erupted over Kerman conglomerate.  Volcanic activities took place at different time in Tertiary. The composition ranges between trachyandesite, andesite, andesite-basalt and rhyolitic ...
