Studying of the ferromagnesian rocks, including metaperidotite and metabasite, as well as the calcium-bearing ones such as calc-silicate in the different parts of the Deh-Salm metamorphic complex (DMC) in the east of the Lut block caused a widespread recognition of various paragenesises of amphiboles. Focused EPMA studies represent amphiboles with the different compositions and PT conditions. T...

Triassic (mostly volcanic-carbonate) and Jurassic (mainly shale and sandstone) rocks in west of Malayer were affected by a number of shear zone, folding, deformation and metamorphic events. Regional metamorphism in the area led to the formation of Triassic and Jurassic rocks such as phyllite, slate and crystalline carbonate which folded during deformational events. In the contact metamorphism e...

The amphibolitic xenoliths are the most aboundant xenoliths in the Markouh dacitic dome northeast of Birjand. The Markouh dacite is composed of plagioclase, quartz, green hornblende, biotite, magnetite and amphibolitic xenoliths that are contaning brown- green hornblende, plagioclase ± biotite ± quartz ± pyroxene. Determination of temperature and pressure of these rocks, based on Al content in ...

Bafgh Mishdovan ore body is located in the Central Iranian zone and is recognized as potential of the sillimanite group minerals. In this region, the outcrops of the different formations can be observed which mainly consist of the Precambrian metamorphic rocks. Silimanite group minerals are existed in the schistic rocks. The area is located in a tectonized zone and subjected to regional metamor...
