The Middle Miocene Niyasar granitoid complex is located in west of Kashan and in the Urumieh – Dokhtar magmatic belt. Based on petrographic studies, the Niyasar complex is composed of tonalite, quartz-diorite and diorite intrusive rocks. These rocks are mainly composed of quartz, plagioclase, amphibole, biotite and K-feldspar. The amphiboles belonge to calcic group and vary in composiotion from...

Incheh granitoid intrusion is located east of Herris, East-Azerbaijan Province. It intruded into the older rock units including Eocene volcanic – volcaniclastics. Compositionally, this intrusion ranges from diorite-quartz diorite to monzonite. Chemical composition of its major minerals such as feldspars, amphibole and clinopyroxene analyzed using electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA) for thermob...

In southwest of the Jandaq City (northeast of Isfahan Province) and northwest of the Central-East Iranian Microcontinent (CEIM), the Eocene dykes with trachy-andesitic composition cross cut the quartz monzodioritic intrusion. The texture of these dykes is granular, intergranular and porphyritic. The studied dykes are composed of plagioclase (andesine and labradorite), clinopyroxene (diopside an...

The amphibolites of east Salmas, as one of the widest units of the metamorphic complex, are located in the northwest of Sanandaj-Sirjan zone, which according to field studies are mainly oriented and foliated amphibolites. Based on microscopic studies, amphibolites include amphibolites, biotite-amphibolites, epidote-amphibolite, biotite-epidote-amphibolite, tremolite-actinolite-amphibolite, and ...

The studied bodies are located in the west of Urumieyeh Lake and northeast of Oshnavieyeh, in the Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone. Compositionaly, these bodies are formed from gabbro-diorite (Dourbeh) and granite (Nari). Gabbrodiorite rocks are composed of plagioclase (andesine to bytownite), amphibole (calcic group and magnesio-hornblende-tschermakite-hornblende type) and pyroxene (augite) as ...

The Bayazeh ophiolite, with probable Paleozoic age, is cropped out along the Bayazeh fault and located in the eastern margin of the Yazd block (Central Iran). In the field, this ophiolite consists of serpentinized peridotites, metagabbro, ultrabasic metamorphosed dikes, metapicrite, serpentinite and metalistvenite. Development of serpentinization process in the Bayazeh mantle peridotites has be...
