Mineral paragenesis of rodingitized basic rocks of Iranian ophiolites are presented and metasomatic reactions between Ca+2 bearing aqueous fluids issued during serpentinization of host ultramafic rock – with magmatic minerals of basic rocks leading to present paragenesis of rodingites are discussed. It is concluded that Ca+2 rich aqueous fluid in equilibrium with serpentinite has high Ca+2 chem...

there are three different basic dykes in the northeast of golpayegan area, central part of sanandaj-sirjan zone (ssz) including: mylonitic gabbros (group 1), alkali dioritic-basanitic dykes (group 2) and alkali monzogabbroic to monzodioritic dykes (group 3). group 2 and 3 cut post-collisional rocks and are related to after subduction processes of neo-tethys. geochemistry characteristic of studi...

Plagioclase crystal fragments and a block of anorthosite occur in small basaltic dykes on the Jos Plateau. The anorthosite is unusual, for the feldspar is labradoritic, but the interstitial mineralogy is granitic rather than basic, displaying granophyric intergrowths in places. The anorthosite is probably not an intermediate stage in fractionation from a basic parent magma towards granite, sinc...

El Sela shear zone occurs in the younger granite rock of Gabal El Sela area, south Eastern Desert, Egypt near the Sudan Frontier. It comprises lines-arranged intrusions trending ENE-WSW and extend for about 1.5 km in length and reach up to 40 meters in width. These lines-arranged intrusions include multi-phase quartz veins, altered microgranite and altered basic dykes. These dykes hosting or ac...

Diapirism has been discredited as a transport mechanism for magmas partly because diapirs seem to be unable to bring magmas to shallow crustal levels (< 10 km) and partly because recent developments in the theory of dyke propagation have shown that sufficiently wide dykes are able to efficiently transport felsic magmas through the crust. However, it is still unclear how felsic dykes grow to wid...

• Is there a change in the groundwater flow system? If it is the case, could the change have been originated in the dammed water, after the construction and filling of the Yacyreta dykes (dam), given that the period when the increases were registered coincides with the closing of the main branch of the Parana River and the utilization of the derivation channel next to the Northern border of the...
