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...

In the eastern part of the Sabzevar ophiolite, southeast of Soleymanieh, there are white to pale greenish veins of diopsidite with 1–15 cm width inside mantle serpentinized harzburgites. The center of these veins is rather homogeneous and includes a monomineralic clinopyroxen with granular texture. The contact between the pure clinopyroxene and its host peridotite is always progressive and char...

Alkaline volcanic rocks of the northwest of Marand with Plio-Quaternary age are located in the northern part of Urumieh-Dokhtar Magmatic Arc. These rocks have a distinct enrichment in LILE and LREE and depletion in HFSE (such as Ta and Nb) and high Ba/Ta and Ba/Nb ratios, which are among the characteristics of subduction zones. The majority of hornblenditic autholiths and hornblenditic xenolith...

In Astaneh area (southwest Arak), in the contact with rhyodacitic subvolcanic rocks xenoliths with pyroxene- hornfels mineralogical composition have formed. These rocks have mineral paragenesis including corundum + spinel + andalusite + K-feldspar + plagioclase+ muscovite + biotite and chlorite with granoblastic, lpydoporphyroblastic, porphyrolpydoblastic, symplectite and poikiloblastic texture...

Chaharfarsakh intrusive and extrusive rocks are located in 25 Km northwest of Nehbandan and 165 Km south of Birjand and in terms of geology, suituated in the eastern of Lut block. Chaharfaraskh intrusive rocks with Jurassic age were injected into shales and sandastons Shemshak Formation. Intrusive rocks are gabbro, diorite, synogranite, quartz monzonite, hornblend tonalite, granodiorite, granit...

The studied volcanic and pluton rocks are located in west of Nir city in the Ardebil Province and south of Sabalan volcano. Volcanic rocks in the studied area are display basaltic to trachy-andesite composition with microlitic porphyry texture. The main minerals of basalt to trachyandesite rocks are plagioclase, pyroxene and olivine. Bordering to volcanic units, pluton of microgabbroic to micro...

The studied area, as Ykeh-Chah unit, is a part of Golpayegan magmatic and metamorphic complex in Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone. The unit consists of mylonitized and high- grade metamorphic rocks, including biotite-gneiss, biotite-garnet-gneiss, amphibolite and orthogneiss. The biotite gneiss and the biotite garnet gneiss have partly been migmatitized. They show various structures such as stro...
