Gasht metamorphic complex is situated in the Talesh mountains of western Alborz range. This metamorphic complex consists mainly of metapelite and metabasite. Metabasites display metamorphic conditions of amphibolite and greenschist facies. Mineralogical paragenesis of greenschists are amphibole, feldspar and epidot and clinopyroxene occures as accessory minerals. The amphibolites of Gasht metam...

Pressure and temperature of metamorphism in the Mahneshan area were estimated in order to determine the type of metamorphism and tectonic setting of the rocks. Biotite, muscovite, plagioclase, garnet, quartz, andalusite and staurolite minerals are crystallized together in metapelites in the regional metamorphic rocks of southwest Mahneshan. Chemistry of coexisting minerals is studied using micr...

In the Hamedan region, migmatitic rocks with various structures cropped out that stromatic structure is the most abundant. Index minerals of metapelites such as garnet (almandine), staurolite, andalusite, sillimanite, kyanite, fibrolite, cordierite, plagioclase (andesine) and spinel (hercynite) are present in these rocks. Garnet has occurred in all three parts of leucosome, paleosome, and melan...

Microstructural and petrographical features as well as field relations, show that formation of the metapelitic rocks of Bolandparchin and Poshtuk in northwestern Iran was poly-metamorphic. Mineral assemblages in the metapelites of two areas are different. The Bolandparchin schists are graphite-rich and have dark color. Peak metamorphic assemblage is garnet, biotite, staurolite, aluminosilicate ...

Temperature and pressure of pelitic metamorphic rocks (metapelites), from the Jandaq area in NE Isfahan, are studied using pseudosection approach. The data used in this research are from already published data by other researchers; however the applied method is reported for the first time.  The metamorphism temperature is estimated to be about 400 to 670°C and pressure to be 2-6 kbar in the pub...
