The Eocene volcanic rocks exposed in the NW Sechangi area of Lut block, include pyroclastic deposits and lavas. These volcanic rocks are basalt, basaltic andesite, andesite, andesite-trachyandesite, trachydacite, dacite and rhyolite-ignimbrite in composition. Based on our field observations, the volcanic rocks erupted in four stages in the aquous to subaerial environments. The volcanic rocks ar...

Acidic and basic volcanic and intrusive rocks of Harzandat-Divan Daghy as individual masses, are located in North and Northwest of Marand (Harzandat) and South of Jolfa (Ghareh Gose-Divan Daghy) trending NW-SE.These rocks are located under Permian progressive deposits, which are covered by an igneous sole unconformity. Lithological composition of the acidic volcanic rocks ranges from dacite, rh...

the neogene intrusion masses in the noudeh-enghelab area located to the north of sabzevar ophiolite have cut the late cretaceous ophiolitic rocks, sedimentary- volcanic and eocene volcanic rocks and have been covered by pliocene and quaternary deposits. the margin is of lava with basalt, phyric andesite-basalt and andesite and the central parts (dome shaped) composed of phyric andesite-trachyan...

Tabriz Basin has had extensive Cenozoic and Quaternary volcanic activity and lies in NW Iran within the collision zone of the Arabian and Eurasian plates. Formations in the region consist of siliciclastic rocks of the Miocene age (Upper red formation), along with younger dacite volcanic rocks. The Bahlul Daghi volcanic dome in the south of Spiran is variable in terms of the composition between ...

Sahand volcanic rocks, with Plio-Quaternery age, is located southeast Tabriz in the northwest part of Central Iran. These rocks are mainly composed of pyroclastics (tuff and ignimberite) and lava flows (rhyolite, rhyodacite, dacite and andesite) that unconformably cover the Miocene sedimentary formations. The major constituent minerals include plagioclase and hornblende which are surrounded by ...
