Eocene volcanic rocks in NE of Ordib, have a very good exposures near and along the Turkmeni-Ordib fault. These rocks, that are situated in the inner part of the Central Iran and margin of the Yazd block, comprise trachyte, trachy-andesite and basaltic trachy-andesite. Trachy-andesite is the pervasive rock unit. Rock forming minerals of these rocks are chloritized olivine, plagioclase, pyroxene...

The Eocene volcanic rocks exposed in the NW Sechangi area of Lut block, include pyroclastic deposits and lavas. These volcanic rocks are basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite, andesite-trachyandesite, trachydacite, dacite and rhyolite-ignimbrite in composition. Based on our field observations, the volcanic rocks erupted in four stages in the aquous to subaerial environments. The volcanic rocks ar...

The study area is located in Central Iranian volcano-plutonic copper belt (Dehaj-Sarduiyeh belt) about 42 Km northeast of Shahrbabak in Kerman Province. Based on petrographic studies, extrusive rocks have the composition from trachyandesite, andesite basaltic and andesite to dacite with Eocene age. Mineralogically, the rocks contain plagioclase, amphibole, biotite and quartz. Chlorite, calcite,...

The study area is located at 130 km northwest of Nehbandan in South of Khorasan and is a part of the rectangular Chahvak (Dehsalm). Dacite, rhiodacite, andesite, rhyolite, tuff and lithic tuff with Eocene age are recognized in the study area. According to mineralogy, mentioned rocks include plagioclase, quartz, pyroxene, amphibole, biotite and alkaline feldspar. Plagioclase consists of zonal st...

The tectonic settings for the Urumieh-Dokhtar volcanic-plutonic belt provided by different reaserchers including active continental margin rift and post collisional settings. Geochemical and tectonic studies indicate that this belt belongs to the active continental margin. Basaltic andesite, andesite, trachy andesite, trachy dacite and dacitic rocks in NE Naragh, of the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic...

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 studied area is located in the north-east of Ardestan in Isfahan province. In Iran’s geological classification it lies in the central Iran zone. The volcanic rocks of the Kuh-e Dom area are predominantly rhyolite, rhyodacite, dacite, tuff, ignimbrite, andesite, banakite and basaltic-andesite. The major rock–forming minerals are quartz, plagioclase, alkali feldspar (orthoclase, albite), amph...

Tertiary igneous rocks of Shurab area in eastern part of Lut block include pyroxene andesite, andesite, trachy andesite, quartz andesite, diorite, quartz diorite and porphyric quartz monzodiorite. Plagioclase, hornblende, pyroxene, biotite and quartz are common minerals and alkali feldspar, opaque, sphene, apatite, tourmaline and zircon exists as minor minerals. Propylitization, chloritization,...
