Kuh e-Dom intrusion, located at the northeast of Ardestan, consists of granodiorite and diorite. The granodiorites have been intruded by various basic dikes. Plutonic rocks are mainly composed of plagioclase, biotite, amphibole, pyroxene, alkali-feldspar and quartz. Based on microprobe analysis, the biotite is classified as magnesiobiotites which typically occur at calc-alkaline orogenic igneou...

the neogene intrusion masses in the noudeh-enghelab area located to the north of sabzevar ophiolite have cut the late cretaceous ophiolitic rocks, sedimentary- volcanic and eocene volcanic rocks and have been covered by pliocene and quaternary deposits. the margin is of lava with basalt, phyric andesite-basalt and andesite and the central parts (dome shaped) composed of phyric andesite-trachyan...

The exposed volcanic rocks in south west of the Khoy area consist of basalts with minor amounts of plagioclase-phyric basalts. These rocks are composed of clinopyroxene plus plagioclase and plagioclase phenocrysts, respectively. The basaltic rocks are highly altered and contains high amounts of secondary minerals mainly chlorite and epidote. According to mineral chemistry, the composition of cl...

The studied area is located in the north-east of Ardestan in Isfahan province. In Iran’s geological classification it lies in the central Iran zone. The volcanic rocks of the Kuh-e Dom area are predominantly rhyolite, rhyodacite, dacite, tuff, ignimbrite, andesite, banakite and basaltic-andesite. The major rock–forming minerals are quartz, plagioclase, alkali feldspar (orthoclase, albite), amph...
