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 study area is located about 105 kilometers east of Sarbisheh in Southern Khorasan and in the Sistan suture zone. The magmatic rocks of this area are exposed as intrusive and sub volcanice including diorite, quartz diorite, porphyry quartz diorite and porphyry diorite with Oligocene- Miocene age. These rocks have granular, porphyry with fine- grained matrix, ophitic, intergranular and glomer...

Eocene volcanic rocks in south of Asad Abad (north-east of Koohpayeh, Isfahan Province) experienced very low-grade metamorphism (hydrothermal metamorphism), resulting in prehnite, malachite, azurite, zeolite, quartz and calcite crystallization in cavities and fractures. Chlorite (brunsvigite) and amphibole (ferro-actinolite) appear on secondary phases. Augite and labradorite are two main minera...

The ore bodies of Galali and Baba-Ali are two relatively important iron ore deposits in west Iran.  These ore deposits are situated in the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. The deposits are associated with ultramafic, calc-alkaline, carbonatite and other rocks. Macroscopic observations, on the boreholes, show that one of the rare ultramafic rocks (hornblendite) appears in all various horizons parallel to m...

The Goushe granitoid Pluton is located southeast of Boroujerd. The study area is composed of granite, granodiorite and the microgranular enclaves located in it with the granodiorite to quartzmonzodiorite combination. The microgranular enclaves presence along with evidence of the presence of the non-equilibrium textures such as dissolved margin and plagioclase zoning, sieve textures, mafic clots...
