Khezr-Abad pluton is cropped out in North-West of Taft. This granitoid seems to be younger than the surrounding metamorphosed rocks, particularly the lower cretaceous limestones and probably is implaced during Oligo-Miocene. The most volumetric abundances of the igneous rocks are: granodiorite, granite, quartzmonzo-diorite, quartz-diorite, and in a lesser amount tonalite, quartz-syenite and ...

the lower to middle miocene chenar granitoid stock, a part of central iranian volcanic belt, is intruded into eocene volcano-sedimentary complex in northwestern kerman in south central iran. the chenar granitoid stock consists mainly of coarse to medium grain granodiorite and monzogranite with subordinate tonalite and syenogranite. alkali granites as aplitic veins and quartz dioritic dykes freq...

The Peninsular Ranges batholith of southern California and Baja California, México, is well recognized as a prime example of an I-type Cretaceous batholith. Often overlooked, however, is a volumetrically signiÞ cant amount of pre-Cretaceous gneissic granite in the axial zone of the batholith. New U-Pb zircon age data conÞ rm that the metaluminous and peraluminous plutonic bodies were emplaced d...

Archean supracrustal rocks from the Qingyuan area of northern Liaoning terrane, North China Craton, occur as enclaves or rafts various scales within tonalite–trondhjemite–granodiorite (TTG) domes. They were normally subjected to metamorphism at amphibolite facies with locally granulite facies. We collected biotite two-feldspar gneiss Hongtoushan and conducted petrography, mineral chemistry, pha...

At El Chucho creek, located to the west of Valle del Cauca department in Colombia, some hydrothermal alterations affecting Buga Batholith rocks and dykes porphyritic quartz-dioritic tonalitic composition were identified. These lithological units host mineral occurrences pyrite, chalcopyrite, molybdenite that occur disseminated or associated with quartz veinlets. The identified phyllic, propylit...

The Black Stone is composed of several dark‐coloured gravels (9.7‐27 mm) held together by a silver frame in the eastern wall Kaaba (Makkah). It contains long prismatic white crystal (0.64‐1.11 and short black (0.33‐0.85 mm length) an equigranular texture. Six one additional pieces are claimed to be Istanbul Edirne, Turkey. stone Edirne quartz (0.45‐6.57 mm, 47.02 %), plagioclase (0.81‐2.97 38.4...
