The study area is located at 220 km southwest of Mashhad and 80 km south of Neyshabur and is situated between 58° 40' 30" to 58° 43' 30" E longitudes and 35° 47' 30" to 35° 52' 00" N latitudes. The study area is part of Sabzevar zone. The lithology of the area consists mainly of volcanic rocks with trachyte, trachy andesite, and basaltic trachy andesite composition and in some parts has been su...

Soltanabad metamorphic complex cropped out in the ophiolitic range of NE Sabzevar. There is a distinct gneissic body exposed in this complex which is associated with metabasite, serpentinite and adakitic intrusions. Quartz, albite, epidote, amphibole, garnet and chlorite are the rock forming minerals of gneissic samples. Based on abundances of light and dark minerals, different types of felsic,...

The plutonic bodies in northeast of the Sonqor area is a small part of the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. According to the field and microscopic observations, the study area is composed of two major units; massive rocks (hornblende gabbro, intermediate and felsic rocks) and dikes (pyroxene gabbro). Mineralogical and geochemical studies show that this granitoide compelex is I-type, calk-alkaline and meta...

Late Neoproterozoic metamorphic – igneous rocks of the Shotor Kuh complex is located in the northern edge of the Central Iran structural zone. This complex crosscut by several Middle Jurassic diabasic dikes. Plagioclase, pyroxene and biotite are the essential rock-forming minerals of these dikes. Plagioclases have mostly andesine composition (An31-49). Pyroxenes have following compositions: En3...

A set of diabasic and lamprophyre dykes, trending NW-SE, cut the Neogene volcanic rocks that exposed in the south of Kerman city and west of Glomac village. They are characterized by porphyritic and glomeroporphyry textures. Lamprophyres contain course- grained phenocryst of olivine- pyroxene- amphibole in a matrix containing feldspars. diabasic rocks are dominated by main minerals including di...

The granite-gneiss body of  Abadchi area (vicinity of Zayandeh-Rud dam) is a part of Sanandaj-Sirjan tectonic zone. The mineralogical composition of the granite- gneisses contains quartz, K-feldspar, plagioclase, biotite and muscovite and minor minerals of opaque, zircon, amphibole and allanite. The granite-gneiss rocks have been influenced by deformation dynamics and weakly Na-metazomatism. Ge...

سازند کژدمی (اواخر آپتین پیشین – آلبین میانی) یکی از سازند های شیلی مارنی است، که در زون ساختاری زاگرس در جنوب و جنوب غرب ایران قرار گرفته و این سازند بواسطه پتانسیل سنگ منشا بودن مخازن نفت وگاز سازند آسماری در اکثر میادین نفتی، یکی از مهم ترین سازند های زاگرس است. به منظور مطالعات زیست چینه ای و تعیین سن دقیق سازند کژدمی بر اساس فرامینیفرهای پلانکتونیک و تطابق بایوزون های شناسایی شده با بایوزو...
