The studied area is located about 35 KM north-west of Rafsanjan (Kerman Province) and belongs to Hezar volcanic complex (in Uromieh-Dokhtar volcanic belt) and consists of Eocene folded lava flows (basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite) and pyroclastic rocks. Plagioclase phenocrysts show evidences of disequilibrium textures such as sieve texture, resorption and oscillatory zoning. These features c...

Quchan- Esfarayen magmatic belt (north of Sabzevar) include Neogene adakitic domes with andesite to rhyolite in composition which is cut by Jurasic sedimentary rocks, Eocene volcano-sedimentary rocks, Miocene sedimentary rocks and even occasionally Peliocene conglomerate. The main minerals of these rocks are plagioclase and amphibole with various textures such as felsitic porphyry, microlitic p...

The study area is located in the central part of the Siahrood geological map, Kharvanagh of Ahar town, in the East Azerbaijan Province. The volcanic rocks of the Kharvanagh area include trachybasalt, trachy-andesi-basalt and trachy-andesite. The main minerals in the rocks are plagioclase, pyroxene, olivine and hornblende and the main textures are microlitic-porphyry. At the contact between the ...

Sahand volcanic rocks, with Plio-Quaternery age, is located southeast Tabriz in the northwest part of Central Iran. These rocks are mainly composed of pyroclastics (tuff and ignimberite) and lava flows (rhyolite, rhyodacite, dacite and andesite) that unconformably cover the Miocene sedimentary formations. The major constituent minerals include plagioclase and hornblende which are surrounded by ...

Hamyerd iron deposit is located about 74 km north east of Semnan, in the Jam area. This area is situated in the northern part of Central Iran structural zone. The outcrops are Middle-Eocene volcanic and pyroclastic rocks with andesite to andesite-basalt and tuff composition, which are intruded by some intrusive bodies of monzonite to monzodiorite composition in this area. Iron mineralization is...
