Ab-Bid ultramafic complex is a part of Esfandagheh-HadjiAbad coloured mélange at the north of Hormozgan Province. It contains harzburgite, lherzolite, dunites, pyroxenite and chromitite. Dunites occur either as large and continuous masses or as dykes which have been intruded into the harzburgites. Mineral chemistry evidences show that the origin of these two types of dunites are completely diff...

Subplutonic rocks of North Shahrekord at south-west of Iran as a part of Sanandaj - Sirjan tectonical zone have exposed as basic dykes. These rocks are dolerites with specific textures such as intergranular, intersertal, ophitic and poikilitic. The main constituteud minerals of the dolerites are plagioclase and clinopyroxene. The secondary minerals include sericite, calcite, chlorite, epidote, ...

Hasht-Sar Kaleybar mafic, ultramafic and syenitic dykes are surrounded by Majid Abad Formation, Palaeocene age, volcanic deposits. The suite is restricted within the Horand, Mahmud Abad and Mokhtekan thrust and reverse faults. Clinopyroxenites, the oldest unit of the suite, have tholeiitic volcanic arc character and have some similarities with tectonite layer of oceanic crust, like Group A pyro...

The study area is located in NW of Iran, East-Azarbaidjan Province in north Varzeghan. Plagioclase, amphibole and biotite are the major minerals and sphene, apatite, and quartz are accessory minerals. The texture of these dykes are porphyrytic with fine to medium matrix. Mineral chemistry analysis revealed that the composition of Plagioclase varies from andesine to oligoclase and the biotite va...
