The Golgohar iron mine is located about 55 km southwest of Sirjan in the Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone. We distinguished five mineralization zones, on the bases of mineral assemblage with magnetite. The gangue minerals are pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, siderite, apatite, serpentine, talc, chlorite, amphibole, calcite, dolomite and quartz. All chlorites are tri-octahedral in nature. The ch...

Soltan Maidan Basaltic Complex consists of a thick succession of basaltic lavas associated with some thin sedimentary interlayers that are exposed in the northwest to northeast of Shahrood. Soltan Maidan basaltic rocks has been generated from magma with transitional to mildly alkaline nature and derived by 14-20 percent partial melting of an enriched garnet peridotitic mantle source in an intra...

The study area is located at the Soghanchi village (east of Miyandoab city, NW of Iran). The Oligocene age Soghanchi stock is intruded into Permian carbonate rocks during Pyrenean orogenic epoch. Petrographically, the main minerals of this intrusive are plagioclase, biotites, pyroxenes, olivines, hornblendes, and alkali-feldspars. The microscopic and geochemical assessments of intrusive, show g...

This study focuses on the amount and concentration of trace elements and REEs pattern in garnet crystals which experienced regional metamorphism in the central Iran micro-continent, including the areas of Deh-Salm, Zaman Abad, Mishdowan, and Tanbour. Generally, garnet crystals are isolated from mica schists of greenschist to amphibolite facies. Mineralogical composition of garnets shows almandi...
