The Petrology and Geochemistry of Granitoid Rocks of Troud Area in South-West of Shahrood

The area of study is located 120 Km north-east of Shahrood city. In terms of structure and geological classification, this area is located in the northern part of central Iran zone. Granitoids of Troud ranging from monzonite to granite. The main minerals of granitoids are quartz, plagioclase, and orthose. The accessory minerals are biotite, hornblende, sphene, and opaque minerals. Various textu...

Petrology and Geochemistry of the Eocene Volcanic Rocks in the West of Sechangi, Lut Block

The Eocene volcanic rocks exposed in the NW Sechangi area of Lut block, include pyroclastic deposits and lavas. These volcanic rocks are basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite, andesite-trachyandesite, trachydacite, dacite and rhyolite-ignimbrite in composition. Based on our field observations, the volcanic rocks erupted in four stages in the aquous to subaerial environments. The volcanic rocks ar...

Petrology, Geochemistry and Tectonic Significance of Serpentinised Ultramafic Rocks from the South Arm of Sulawesi, Indonesia

Geochemistry, petrology, and mineralization in volcanic rocks located in south Neyshabour, NE Iran

This paper presents the new geochemical isotopes Sr and Nd, and the mineralization data for the south Neyshabour volcanic rocks located in NE Iran. Based on the chemical classifications, the studied rocks are basaltic trachy andesite, trachy andesite, trachyte, and trachy dacite in composition. All the analyzed volcanic rocks display enrichment in light rare earth elements (LREE) relative to th...

Petrology, geochemistry and mineral chemistry of Shahrak intrusive body (East of Takab, Northwest of Iran)

The intrusive body of the Shahrak is located between the West Azarbaijan and Kurdistan provinces. Lithologically, this intrusive body consists of granodiorite, monzonite, monzodoirite and monzogobbro, which intruded into Oligo-Miocene sedimentary units and Cretaceous and Precambrian metamorphic rocks. Mineral chemistry studies of granodiorite and monzogabbro rocks show that plagioclases have la...
