The Qalaylan pluton of Late Jurassic age is composed of intermediate and felsic rocks that crop out in the northern Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone. A body is comprising alkaline, high K, Ferroan A1-type rocks with contrasting aspects; whiles, Nd-Sr primitive isotopic composition consistent with a mantle source. On the other hand, inherited zircon cores (with a range of 230 – 2700 Ma) and elevated Nd mode...

The study area is located about 45 km of southwest Neyshabour and east of Arghash village. Both intrusive and volcanic rocks are exposed in the study area and they are intensively altered due to hydrothermal fluid. The alteration zoning in the study area consists of potassic, sericitic, carbonatization, silicification and propylitic. More than 10 intrusive rocks with composition in the range of...

The studied area located in south and south western Arak town and are the part of Sanadaj-Sirjan Zone. The plutonic rocks in Astaneh and Boroujerd areas are quartz diorite, granodiorite and monzogranite. In addition to plutonic rocks, subvolcanic rocks of rhyodacite composition are present in Astaneh area. In general, in these areass mineral assemblage is the same in different units. The common...

Tertiary volcanic rocks including andesite, trachydacite and rhyodacite with pyroclastic rocks cropped out in east of Sarbisheh at Southern Khorasan.  The main minerals in andesites are plagioclase, pyroxene, amphibole and biotite and for acidic rocks include plagioclase, quartz, sanidine, amphibole and biotite. On the basis of microprobe analyses, the composition of plagioclases in andesites r...

West and south­west of Razan igneous rocks are located in the Hamedan Province in the Sanandaj- Sirjan zone, west Iran. According to petrography and chemical studies, these rock bodies are composed of diorite, gabbrodiorite, monzonite, quartz- monzonite, andesite and andesibasalt. The results of geochemical analysis show that these rocks belong to a cal- alkaline magma series. The geochemical c...

The Eocene volcanic rocks exposed in the NW Sechangi area of Lut block, include pyroclastic deposits and lavas. These volcanic rocks are basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite, andesite-trachyandesite, trachydacite, dacite and rhyolite-ignimbrite in composition. Based on our field observations, the volcanic rocks erupted in four stages in the aquous to subaerial environments. The volcanic rocks ar...
