Subplutonic rocks of North Shahrekord at south-west of Iran as a part of Sanandaj - Sirjan tectonical zone have exposed as basic dykes. These rocks are dolerites with specific textures such as intergranular, intersertal, ophitic and poikilitic. The main constituteud minerals of the dolerites are plagioclase and clinopyroxene. The secondary minerals include sericite, calcite, chlorite, epidote, ...

On the basis of geothermobarometric calculations, amphiboles in volcanic and subvolcanic rocks belong to Upper Jurassic volcanism of Sanandaj-sirjan zone in north of Shahrekord. Using Hamarstrom ,Schmidt, Johnson - Rutherford and Hollister methods, amphiboles have crystallized about 635 to 715◦ c and 2.68 to 7.5 kbar at the depth about 17 to 25 km. The result of calculations has moderate accura...

Barika gold mineralization occurred in a Cretaceous metavolcano-sedimentary sequence at northwestern Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. Gold-rich volcanogenic massive sulfide mineralization occurred in a rhyolite to rhyolitic tuff unit which is completely in Barika shear zone. Based on electron microprobe studies, gold is observed to form electrum mostly, and in lattice of other minerals, such as pyrite, ga...

Garnet bearing staurolite schists comprise an important part of regional metamorphic succession in the Hamedan area (north of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone). These rocks contain staurolite and garnet porphyroblats that lie in a matrix which is composed of biotite, muscovite and quartz. The staurolites in Fe-rich and show little chemical composition diversities. Almandin is the most important compone...

Gabbroic rocks of Sarkobeh region are exposed as several intrusive bodies with a post-cretaceous age in north of Khomein city, Northern Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone. These igneous rocks are intruded in shale and limestone units which belong to cretaceous age. Main minerals forming the rocks are clinopyroxene, plagioclase and opaque. Microprobe analyses on the clinopyroxenes of the gabbros show a diopsi...

Bolandparchen metamorphic complex located in the NW Zanjan city and is at the border of Central Iran and Sanandaj-Sirjan Zones. The study area contains different schists, impure marble and metsandstone that intruded by granitic bodies in the central and northern parts. Central part of Bolandparchen complex cut by NW to SE fault. Petrographic study, whole rock analysis, microprobe analyses and B...

The plutonic bodies in northeast of the Sonqor area is a small part of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. According to the field and microscopic observations, the study area is composed of two major units; massive rocks (hornblende gabbro, intermediate and felsic rocks) and dikes (pyroxene gabbro). Mineralogical and geochemical studies show that this granitoide compelex is I-type, calk-alkaline and meta...
