The Rangraz area is located about 20 km north of Saveh, which is situated in the central part of Uromieh–Dokhtar magmatic arc. The exposed rocks in the study area consist of a volcanic and volcanoclastic subvolcanic dikes and quartz monzodiorite intrusions. Mineralization in this area is mostly related to the silicic, argillic and chloritization alteration assemblages. The Rangraz area consists...

Nodushan Zn-Pb deposit at the western margin of Urumieh-Dokhtar volcano-plutonic belt resulted from granitoid intrusion into Eocene dacitic to andesitic rocks. Pyrite, sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite are the main sulfide minerals. The chemical composition of sphalerites and pyrites indicates two different type of sphalerite (high Fe types demonstrating chalcopyrite disease and low Fe type) ...

Lale zar granite batolith is located in the southeast of Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt and Dehech-Sarduieh. This mass includes a low density of tourmaline with nodule,vein and solar morphologies. Less tourmaline occurs in this mass could be due to mass being saturated in the boron. The studied tourmalines are classified in the shourl-dravite series and alkaline group. Most of the substitutions ...

The Qohrud granitoid is a part of the Urmia-Dokhtar magmatic assemblage. The main rock types are Miocene granite and tonalite. The hydrothermal activities were effective due to intrusion. Hydrothermal activities were more intense in the southern part of the pluton. This has produced relatively large automorph quartz crystals. The alteration of the granitoid wall rocks was accompanied with alter...

Alkaline volcanic rocks of the northwest of Marand with Plio-Quaternary age are located in the northern part of Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Arc. These rocks have a distinct enrichment in LILE and LREE and depletion in HFSE (such as Ta and Nb) and high Ba/Ta and Ba/Nb ratios, which are among the characteristics of subduction zones. The majority of hornblenditic autholiths and hornblenditic xenolith...

The Cheheltan Mountain is located at south west of Bardsir, Kerman Province. It represents a part of the Eocene Hezar volcanic complex (Urumiyeh-Dokhtar volcanic belt) and consists of lava flows, pyroclastics, epiclastics and numerous intrusions. The lava flows comprise of basaltic-andesites and basalts and contain plagioclase and pyroxene phenocrysts that set in a vitreous or fine-grained matr...

The studied area is located about 35 KM north-west of Rafsanjan (Kerman Province) and belongs to Hezar volcanic complex (in Uromieh-Dokhtar volcanic belt) and consists of Eocene folded lava flows (basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite) and pyroclastic rocks. Plagioclase phenocrysts show evidences of disequilibrium textures such as sieve texture, resorption and oscillatory zoning. These features c...

Plio-Quaternary potassic to high potassic basaltic rocks are found in northern part of Uromieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Arc in NW Iran. The mineralogical composition of these rocks characterized with phenocrysts of Cpx, phlogopite, leucite and olivine in groundmass of plagioclase, sanidine, Cpx and biotite. Phlogopite phenocrysts display a euhedral platy form with reaction rims. Based on the Internatio...
