petrological evolution of the upper mantle beneath the southern sanandaj-sirjan zone: evidence from kuhshah peridotite massif, southeast iran
نویسندگان
چکیده
the kuhshah ultramafic complex is located in the south-east of sanandaj-sirjan metamorphic zone, near the probable remnants of neotethys plate in iran. it consists of highly depleted harzburgites, dunites, chromitite bands and altered gabbros. the ultramafic parts have been intruded by numerous clinopyroxenite dykes and veins. in the harzburgites, there are different generations of olivine, orthopyroxene and spinel. the chemical composition of the first generation minerals indicates that the harzburgites are depleted in incompatible elements, but the other generations show melt/rock interaction features which can be found in a suprasubduction zone setting. during subduction of the neotethys plate beneath the sanandaj-sirjan zone, a back arc basin developed between the sanandaj-sirjan arc and the central iranian microcontinent. whole rock and mineral chemistry, specially, cromespinels, show that the harzburgites formed underneath this basin. after depletion, ascending melts with boninitic compositions reacted with these peridotites to form dunites and chromitite bands. the updoming and decompression of the mantle in the next stage, led to remelting at deeper levels and development of clinopyroxenite parental melts which intruded into the uppermost mantle. then, the new basin closed and the kuhshah peridotites were emplaced in present position.

metamorphic evolution of high-pressure quartz schists in the zhan metamorphic complex, sanandaj-sirjan zone, iran
the study area is located at the sanandaj-sirjan zone in the west and north-west of azna and north-east of doroud, iran. the quartz-schists are divided into two main groups: amphibole-quartz schist and garnet-quartz schist. field and microstructural studies show several deformational phases. the d1 episode which is represented by s1, matches with m1 metamprphism and d2 deformation matches with ...
