U-Th zircon SHRIMP and U-Th-total Pb monazite CHIME ages of 6 typical samples were established among different rock types outcropped into the Chah-Dozdan batholith from Iran. The zircon population displays simple internal structures in samples of the Chah-Dozdan batholith. The zircon crystals have well-preserved magmatic characteristics. In all population, the rims display younger ages than the...
