Dodehak granitoid stock with tonalite to granodiorite compos ition is exposed south of Dodehak vi llage, north of Ab-e-Gann (Mahalat) in Urumieh-Dorhtar volcanic belt of Iran. Based on petrography and point analysis (EPMA). plagioclase crystals show nonnal zoning with graph ic tex.ture is present. Samples from SE of the intrus ion are different and myrmekite texture is present in the rocks...

The Jebal-E-Barez Oligocene granitoid is located in the southeastern Bam, and in the southeastern part of the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Assemblage. Based on petrographic studies, this granitoid includes tonalite, granodiorite, granite and alkaligranite, which are composed of quartz, plagioclase, amphibole, biotite and alkali feldspar. The albite of plagioclase ranges from 38.38 to 67.26 percent,...

The study area is located in the Kerman province, 10 Km north of Rabor. Geologically, the area is situated in the eastern section of Dehaj-Sarduiyeh belt which is a part of Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic assemblage. The dykes were intruded in the Eocene pyroclastic rocks and Pliocene sedimentary units. Petrographic studies show that these rocks are andesitic in composition. Mineralogically they are c...

The Khezr-Abad area is located in southwest of Yazd in central Iran at the intersection with the Central Iranian Volcano-Plutonic Belt (Urumieh-Dokhtar Belt). The Darreh-Zerreshk and Ali-Abad porphyry copper deposits are the most important deposits in this district. These deposits are associated with Oligocene-Miocene (18-28 Ma) granitoid intrusions which consisted mainly of quartzmonzonite, qu...

Chah-Shoor kaolin mine is located about 150 km southeast of Isfahan and also located in the central Iran structural zone, Urumieh-dokhtar volcanic belt. Eocene Igneous rocks consist of andesite, tuffs and quaternary deposits have covered the area. Based on petrographic studies, the main minerals in the volcanic rocks are K- feldspar, quartz and plagioclase. Hydrothermal alteration has produced ...

Felsic volcanic rocks embrace a portion of the volcanic succession in Kajan area of Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic assemblage. Based on trace elemental abundances and patterns, the felsic rocks might be attributed to two distinct series. In one series, normalized trace and REE patterns are rather flat (La/Yb<17) but display negative Ti, P, Sr and Eu anomalies. This series, which is called normal calc...

Gabbroic pluton of Bagham is located in southeastern Ardestan and has intruded into Eocene volacanic rocks. The study area is a part of Central Iranian zone and Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt. Clinopyroxene, plagioclase and amphibole are main minerals in the pluton. Mineral chemistry studies show that clinopyroxenes are augite and are plotted in almost medium pressure field. The clinopyroxene co...

Kalchoyeh copper deposit is located about 110 km east of Isfahan, in Central Iran, Urumieh- Bazman volcanoplutonic belt. Host rocks of this deposit are Eocene volcanic rocks and tuffs which are pyroxene andesitic lava and sandy and lithic tuffs. Sandy tuffs are the main host rocks of the deposit. Ore mineralization is taken place as veins and veinlets and quartz is the main gangue mineral. Hypo...

Spid pluton with Neogene age outcrop in the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic belt. Amphibole in this intrusion is calcic and magmatic and its composition corresponds to magnesiohornblende to actinolite which reflects the type I granitoid. Geobarometry calculations show that the amphibole crystalized at pressure of 2.5 to 3.7 kbr corresponding to a depth of 8 to 12 km. Based on geothermometry of hornble...
