SUMMARY Penetrative petro-fabrics in plutons, particularly late-stage solid-state fabrics, are usually considered to record regional tectonism. However, these fabrics fundamentally ambiguous correlate with magma-chamber processes or tectonics. Understanding the of fabric formation requires a proper understanding pluton and emplacement mechanism. In this paper, we provide case study transition f...

Abstract. Back-arc extension superimposed on mountain belts leads to distributed normal faults and shear zones interacting with magma emplacement within the crust. The composition of granitic magmas emplaced at this stage often involves a large component crustal melting. Miocene Aegean granitoids were in metamorphic core complexes (MCCs) below crustal-scale low-angle ductile zones. Intrusion pr...

Khezr-Abad pluton is cropped out in North-West of Taft. This granitoid seems to be younger than the surrounding metamorphosed rocks, particularly the lower cretaceous limestones and probably is implaced during Oligo-Miocene. The most volumetric abundances of the igneous rocks are: granodiorite, granite, quartzmonzo-diorite, quartz-diorite, and in a lesser amount tonalite, quartz-syenite and ...

Abstract Granite is fractured according to the stress state during cooling stage, providing predispositions for later topographic evolution. This study clarified that triangular mesh‐like joints can be made granite and they become structural causes formation of rock towers corestones on ground. Tengu rock, which consists in Hiroshima, was investigated using an unmanned air vehicle. The were sha...
