In the mafic-ultramafic suite of Tazehkand, Kalaybar-NW Iran, of Early-Cenozoic age, pyroxenitic core is surrounded by gabbro and total complex is surrounded by Paleocene volcano clastic of Majid Abad Formation. The pyroxenite is composed chiefly of Cpx+Ol+Ore. The associated gabbro minerals consist of Pl + Cpx + Am + Phl. The pyroxene composition in the two rock types is diopside-rich and rang...

Gabbrodioritic pluton is located in S-Qorveh in nourthern parts of the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone. Petrographically, amphibole and plagioclase are main minerals in these rocks. Amphiboles are calcic-type, and their composition varied between ferro-hornblende to magnesio-hornblende. Anortite contents in plagioclases are between 81 to 39 (%) and these crystal are labradore -oligoclase in composition. A...

Igneous rocks of the Karaj Dam basement are mainly composed of gabbro, diorite and monzodiorite-monzonite which are locally penetrated by the quartz-monzonitic dikes. The upper and lower margins of the pluton, which has gabbroic composition, show porphyritic texture (chilled margin). The porphyritic texture in chilled margin gradually changes to the equigranular gabbro, diorite and monzod...

Both Sangan and Tannurjeh magnetite deposits are Iron-oxides type. Geochemistry and petrography of source rocks at Tannurjeh and Sangan were studied in detail. The source rocks at Sangan are compused of quartz hornblende alkali syenite porphyry and quartz biotite-hornblende alkali syenite porphyry ; while The source rocks at Tannurjeh varies between hornblende quartz diorite porphyry and h...
