The Chadegan metamorphic complex is a WNW-ESE- trending antiformal structure located in Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone, Iran.The inner core of the structure is made of orthogneiss, containing eclogitic lenses. Schists and marbles lie structurally above theorthogneiss and crop out in the external limbs of the antiformal dome. Two main deformational episodes have been documented in theschists an...

Late Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian schists have been occurred in southwest of Zanjan city from the Soltanieh belt. The Soltanieh belt in northwest of Iran is uplifted basement of Precambrian-Paleozoic in main central Iran zone and includes outcrops of Precambrian, Paleozoic and Mesozoic Formations. Late Neoproterozoic-Early Cambrian schists, the oldest stratigraphy unit in the region, consist o...

Introduction: The origin of secondary carbonate minerals in the oldest known martian meteorite ALH84001 have been intensely debated in the literature, with widely different thermal origins considered: ranging from hydrothermal alteration (possibly impactinduced) [e.g. 1, 2, 3] to low temperature alteration conditions [e.g. 4, 5, 6]. Recent isotopic evidence suggests the carbonates precipitated ...

The Mars Exploration Rover Spirit investigated the igneous and alteration mineralogy and chemistry of Home Plate and its surrounding deposits. Here, we focus on using thermochemical modeling to understand the secondary alteration mineralogy at the Home Plate outcrop and surrounding Columbia Hills region in Gusev crater. At high temperatures (300 °C), magnetite occurs at very high W/R ratios, bu...

buchitic glassy rocks appear within the skarn of contact metamorphic aureole of feshark intrusive complex situated 30 km northeast of isfahan. intrusive complex is a multistage intrusion . noritic gabbro is the first inttrusion which is invaded later on by a granitic melt. granitic melt has metasomatically altered the gabbro and as a consequence a suite of hybrid rocks like monzogabbro, monzodi...

the tajroud vein system is located 190 km southwest of mashhad, and in the southern part of the sabzevar zone. the vein host rocks consist of eocene intermediate to silicic volcanic rocks. the mineralization occurs as open space filling, taking place as veins, veinlets and hydrothermal breccias. based on field geology and textural evidence, three main stages of mineralization were identified. s...

the felsic pegmatitic rocks are exposed in the north of golpayegan. the dominate mineral assemblage is quartz, k-feldspar, plagioclase, muscovite, tourmaline and garnet. the elevated spessartine content of the garnets in the studied rocks along with their idiomorphic shape, the absence of resorption feature and garnet-free country rocks may point to their magmatic origin and crystallization at ...
