Tarikdarreh prospect area is situated in northeastern Iran at the boundary between Central Iran and Kopet-Dagh structural zones. Torbat-e-Jam granitoid intrusion of Triassic age is the main magmatic display in the district. These plutonic rocks with NW-SE trending intruded Miankouhi Formation (Upper Triassic) consisting of coaly shale, siltstone and sandstone converting those to hornfels for te...

The Tertiary volcanic rocks in the north and west of Birjand are dacite; andesite, basaltic andesite, trachyandesite and rhyolite.They belong to calc- alkaline from magmatic series. Mineralogcal, petrographcal and geochemical evidence show that they have formed in active continental margins. Most andesites and dacites are appeared as volcanic domes or subvolcanic dykes that injected older units...

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...

Metamorphic rocks in SW Arak composed from two groups including regional and contact metamorphism. Regional metamorphic rocks are composed of slate, phyllite and micaschists and locted in green-schist facies and contact metamorphic rocks are composed of spotted schist and hornfels respectively. Mineralogically, these rocks are composed of quartz, chlorite, muscovite, biotite and cordierite. Pet...
