The Sahand volcano in NW Iran is characterised by voluminous Late Miocene to Quaternary magmatic activity. Petrographic, mineral chemical, whole-rock geochemical and Sr-Nd-Pb …
Ultrapotassic rocks are a common, but volumetrically minor, hallmark of post‐collisional magmatism along the Alpine–Himalayan orogenic belt. Here, we document the occurrence …
Post-collisional potassic and ultrapotassic (UP) alkaline magmas were erupted northwest of Marand in northern part of Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc (UDMA) during Plio-Quaternary …
Lamprophyres of different age showing distinctive mineralogy, geochemistry and isotopic ratios are exposed in northwestern Iran. They can be divided into Late Cretaceous sannaite …
Abstract The Kaleybar, Razgah and Bozqush (KRB) intrusions were studied to better understand subduction-related Eocene-Oligocene alkaline magmatism in NW Iran. The bulk …
Leucite-bearing volcanic rocks are commonly found within and around the Mediterranean area. A specific type of this rock group are leucitites. They are found both in a hinterland …
Abstract The Eslamieh Peninsula in NW Iran exposes Miocene potassic to ultrapotassic volcanic rocks that are often associated with a variety of ultramafic xenoliths. Based on …
