The study area is located in northwest of Isfahan, 25 km northwest of Daran. Buin-Miandasht intrusive rocks consist of granite and granodiorite. Based on geochemical diagrams, these granitoids are I -type calc-alkaline and evolved in volcanic arc environments. The Buin-Miandasht intruded into the metamorphic basement (Paleozoic?) and a small skarn and hornfels occurred along its contact. Based ...

The occurrence of palygorskite and its formation conditions in soils and sediments were studied along a transect covering granitic hilly lands to marly hilly lands in southern Mashhad. Based on formation conditions, amount and morphology, three kinds of palygorskite including high-amount palygorskite with long fibers in gypsiferous marl and basal part of deep loess deposits with high salinity, ...

At the base of Shemshak Formation in the south Azadshahr area, some igneous mafic rocks are discovered recently  as olivine gabbro bodies and pegmatoid alkali-diorite dikes. Rock-forming minerals of olivine gabbro includes olivine, clinopyroxene and plagioclase, alkali-diorites are composed of large amphiboles and plagioclase. Major and trace elements characteristics of these rocks indicate the...

Sarvian intrusion is located in northeast of Delijan in the Orumieh-Dokhtar magmatic belt. Sarvian pluton consists of acidic and intermediate units and is composed of granite, granodiorite, tonalite and quartz-diorite. Main minerals of the intrusion are plagioclase, amphibole, biotite, quartz and K-feldspar. In this research, based on the EPMA analyses, thermobarometry of the rocks investigated...

The Cheshme-Bid Granitoids is located in SE Zahedan, Sistan and Balouchestan P Province. These granitoids are in Middle Eocene Neh metamorphosed flysch zone. The main minerals in these granites are quartz, plagioclase, biotite and amphiboles. Based on microprobe analysis, amphiboles are calcic in composition and set on magnesio-hornblende and actinolite classes. Based on chemical classificat...

Spid pluton with Neogene age outcrop in the Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic belt. Amphibole in this intrusion is calcic and magmatic and its composition corresponds to magnesiohornblende to actinolite which reflects the type I granitoid. Geobarometry calculations show that the amphibole crystalized at pressure of 2.5 to 3.7 kbr corresponding to a depth of 8 to 12 km. Based on geothermometry of hornble...

The Bazman granitoid is located in the south margin of Lut block, and southeastern of Iran. It composed of granite, granodiorite, monzodiorite, quartz monzodiorite, diorite and gabbro. Plagioclase, feldspar, quartz, hornblende and biotite are the major minerals; sphen, apatite, zircon, magnetite and ilmenite are the main accessory minerals. Amphibole mineral chemistry is calcic in composition a...
