Granitoidic bodies of the eastern Misho mountains (SW Marand – East Azerbaidjan) have intruded into Kahar Formation and mafic – ultramafic rocks of Misho mountains and has faulty contact with Triassic carbonate deposits. The composition of these bodies ranges from quartz monzonite to granite and alkali-granite and it is cut by porphyritic granitic and diabasic dykes. The main minerals of these ...

The crystal-chemistry of the plagioclase, alkali feldspar, biotite, amphibole and whole rock geochemistry of Akapol granitic massif are investigated in this paper. The chemical composition of  biotites and amphiboles ploted in the annite-siderophyllite, magnesiohornblende and actinolite fields, respectively. Comparison of the chemical composition of biotites and amphiboles with similar minerals...

The Deh-Salm Metamorphic Complex (DMC) is composed of metapelite, metabasite, metaperidotite, and calc-silicate rocks and is one of the few outcrops of the Lut block’s basement which emerged near to the Sistan suture zone. In the eastern part of the Deh-Salm metamorphic complex, the calc-silicate and marble appeared in the form of elongated tectonic lenses that have been metamorphosed in simila...

East misho granitoid intrusion body, a part of Alborz-Azarbaijan zone, is located about 60 Km north west of Tabriz, NW Iran. This pluton with an area of about 50 km2 has cut percamberian unmetamorpic sedimentary rocks and, is covered with Permian sedimentary rocks with igneous nonconformity. Litological composition of the studied pluton displays a range of alkali granite, monzogranite and syeno...

The study area is a part of central Iranian Cenozoic magmatic belt. The dominant rock type in the area is rhyodacite with Eocene in age. These rocks have been effected by Qum-Zefreh fault as well as alteration by hydrothermal solutions. Due to sulfate - acid alteration, the following  minerals are formed: pyrite + alkali feldspar + sericite + pyrophyllite + barite+  jarosite + hematite + quartz...
