introduction the bornaward area is located in the northeastern iran (in the khorasan razavi province) 28 km northwest of the city of bardaskan at 57˚ 46΄ to 57˚ 52΄ n latitude and 35˚ 21΄ to 35˚ 24΄e longitude. the taknar structural zone, situated in the north central iranian micro continent, is part of the lut block (forster, 1978). the taknar zone is an allochthonous block bounded by the daro...

Major and trace element composition of silicate melt inclusions (SMI) their rock-forming minerals were studied in mafic garnet granulite xenoliths from the Bakony–Balaton Highland Volcanic Field (Western-Hungary). Primary SMIs occur clinopyroxene plagioclase plagioclase-rich domains granulites ilmenite vicinity these wall rock. Based on major elements, we demonstrated that have no connection wi...

kuh-e-siah is located in the north of gavkhuni lagoon and east of the varzaneh (se of isfahan) and is a part of urumieh-dokhtar magmatic arc (udma). the volcanic rocks of this area are vesicular basalt and basaltic andesite with late miocene age. the most common textures of these rocks are porphyry, microlitic porphyritic, hyaloporphyric and vesicular. plagioclase, olivine and clinopyroxene are...

The Neoproterozoic shoshonitic and mildly alkaline bimodal volcanism of Southernmost Brazil is represented by rock assemblages associated to sedimentary successions, deposited in strike-slip basins formed at the post-collisional stages of the Brasilian/Pan-African orogenic cycle. The best-preserved volcano sedimentary associations occur in the Camaquã and Campo Alegre Basins, respectively in th...

Introduction: Seven successful Soviet Venus landers reported compositional information on Venus surface rocks [1-3], and Magellan SAR discovered a wide range of familiar Earthlike volcanic landforms amidst a partially disimilar tectonic landscape. The landers produced compositional data and surface imagery consistent with orbital views indicating or suggesting volcanic landing sites associated ...
