The Naghadeh metamorphic complex at the West-Azerbaijan Province is located at termination of the NW Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone. Major varieties of the metamorphic rocks in this area are: amphibolites, greenschists, marbles and metaperidotites. The metaperidotites are classified into two groups, serpentinised metaperidotites and serpentinites. Orthopyroxene, clinopyroxene, olivine and spinel are the ...

Metamorphic rocks that mostly consist of amphibolite, amphibole schist, garnet hornblendite and rarely metamorphosed chemical and terrigenous sediments are found in the ophiolitic complex of north Torbat-E- Heidarieh. Thermobarometry calculations of amphibolite samples indicate temperature higher than 800 °C and pressure less than 5 Kb. Metamorphic conditions of  amphibole schist and garnet hor...

The pre-Eocene Allahyarlu ophiolitic- metamorphic complex is exposd in the core of the Allahyarlu anticline in the northwest of Iran and northeast of Meshginshahr. This complex consists of a variety of schist, gneiss, amphibolite and metadibase rocks with serpentinite and tectonic slices including gabbro, dunit, marble and diabase. Amphibolites can be divided into garnet-free amphibolite and ga...

Delbar metamorphic complex composed of schists, amphibolites and gneisses with migmatitic views belong to Neoprotrozoiec (Precambrian) is located in southeast of Shahrood. Debar metamorphic complex crosscut by at least three series of mafic dikes, with different ages (Precambrian, Jurassic and Tertiary). Jurassic dikes intruded in Precambrian metamorphic complex and upper Triassic - lower Juras...

The Qotur metamorphic complex consists of metabasites, gneisses, marbles and calc-silicates as well as serpentinites which is cropped out at the west border of West Azerbaijan and Turkey. The amphibolites from the Qotur metamorphic complex can be classified as two types of ortho- and para-amphibolites. Minerals in this ortho-amphibolite are hornblende, plagioclase, zircon, titanite, and opaque ...

abstract the balvard metamorphic assemblage (bma) crops out at the northeastern margin of the southeastern part of the sanandaj-sirjan zone (ssz) in contacting to the dehshir-baft ophiolitic mélange. this location prepared a special situation to resolve some of the complicated tectonic problems of this part of iran. petrology, micro-tectonics and satellite image investigation were carried out ...

 Late Neoproterozoic (548-579 million years ago) metamorphic - igneous Shotor Kuh complex is cropped out in SE Shahrood, consist of a various range of rocks including metabasite, metapelite, metagraywake, metapsammite and metacarbonate. Metapelites include phyllite to gnessis and migmatite. Metamorphism intensity in the highest degree, progressed to anatexy and formation of granitic melts. Ther...
