In the southeast of bam, there is a collection of volcanic rocks with andesite, basalt and trachy andesite composition. The texture of these rocks are often porphyritic with microlithic, porphyric cavity, and sometimes glomerulophorphuri, sore throat trachytic. Main minerals include Olivine, Clinopyroxene, Plagioclase and secondary minerals including opaque minerals, Iodenzyte, secondary Biotit...

We explore the potential effects of magmatic assimilation on mineral growth and mineral zoning in an alkali olivine basaltic magma using both equilibrium thermodynamics and kinetics. The equilibrium-model calculations simulate fractional crystallization alone (closed system) and coupled assimilation fractional crystallization (AFC) (open system); the models predict the assemblages ofmagmatig mi...

Constraining the timescales of pre-eruptive magmatic processes in active volcanic systems is paramount to understand magma chamber dynamics and the triggers for volcanic eruptions. Temporal information of magmatic processes is locked within the chemical zoning profiles of crystals but can be accessed by means of elemental diffusion chronometry. Mineral compositional zoning testifies to the occu...

late miocene–pliocene calc-alkaline volcanic rocks are exposed southeast of isfahan in the urumieh-dokhtar magmatic belt. volcanic rocks consist of lava flows and domes, chiefly basaltic andesites, andesites and dacites. minerals in the volcanic rocks exhibit degrees of disequilibrium features. plagioclase as dominant mineral in these rocks generally displays reverse and oscillatory zoning; sie...

[1] We measure all stable noble gases (He, Ne, Ar, Kr, Xe) in spring waters in the Oregon Cascades volcanic arc and in eastern Oregon, USA. We show that in order to estimate magmatic helium (He) contributions it is critical to simultaneously consider He isotopic ratios, He concentrations, and mixing of He components. Our component mixing analysis requires consideration of all measured noble gas...

tertiary andesitic basalts of the sirjan area, urmieh-dokhtar magmatic arc, iran, contain plagioclase phenocrysts enclosed in a matrix of amphibole, clinopyroxene and rare olivine crystals. textural and compositional evidence suggests two significantly different types of plagioclase phenocrysts occur in the andesitic basalts. the most common type of plagioclase phenocrysts have zoning patterns ...

The Sanshui Basin is located at the northern continental margin of South China Sea and characterized by a rift basin. bimodal volcanic rocks in record early Cenozoic magmatic activity Block, but evolution that produced poorly understood. Clinopyroxenes provide an opportunity to investigate magma during ascent. In this work, we classified nine types clinopyroxene phenocrysts according compositio...
