Eocene volcanic rocks in SW of Choupanan are exposed along the Choupanan fault as lava with andesite, trachyandesite to dacite composition and pyroclastic rocks. This area is a part of Central Iran (Yazd block). Andesite is the most predominant rock unit of the area and is composed of feldspars (andesine, oligoclase, and sanidine), amphibole (magnesio hastingsite, magnesian hastingsite, magnesi...

The composition of Kuh-e- Barandeh volcanic dome is andesite, dacitic andesite and dacite of calc-alkaline affinity. A prominent feature of this dome is the presence of various types of enclaves with different composition, shape and size. Detailed field and laboratory investigation proved that they are of xenolith and autolith types. The xenoliths are of pelitic and basic protoliths. Xenoliths ...

The studied volcanic rocks are located in south of Sarab at the northern part of the Bozghoush mountaion. The rocks are megaporphyry andesite flows and trachy andesite basalt lavas associated with tuff. In the northern part of the study area these rocks are covered with younger sediments of Quarternary age. These rocks are containing phenocrysts of analcime, olivine, pyroxene and plagioclase. T...

The Lapeh-Zanak copper deposit is located about 15 km east of Tehran, in the southern part of the Central Alborz Zone. The rock units exposed in this area include a sequence of volcanic and pyroclastic rocks (basalt, andesite, trachy-andesite and dacitic and vitric tuff) belonging to the Fajan Formation with the Paleocene-Lower Eocene age, which are cut by subvolcanic igneous masses with a comp...
