The Moghanlu granitoid was located in the northwest of central Iranian structural zone with a Precamberian age. Based on field observations and microscopic studies, this body includes tonalite, monzogranite and granodiorite. Based on geochemical studies, tonalites are I-type, calc-alkaline, and weakly peraluminous. Based on isotopic studies [(87Sr/86Sr (i) and εNd (i) values equal to 0.710544, -7.01 respectively)], low values of La/Yb, Sr/Y , Nb/Ta, Ni and Cr, low fractionated patterns (flat pattern) of rare earth elements (REE) and negative anomaly of Eu, it can be concluded that they were resulted from melting of amphibolitic thickened mafic crust or under plate basalts (in the stability field of plagioclase) in low pressures and low depth in volcanic arc granitic area. Monzogranites are S-type, peraluminous and calc-alkaline, which are plotted in collision zone. These rocks are enriched in LILE and LREE and also depleted in HFSE, which represent negative anomaly of Ba, Ti, Nb, Sr with Mg number about 11-20. On the basis of this result, it can be concluded that the granitoids were generated from melting of crustal rocks (melt derived from pelitic rocks with high plagioclase content). Granodiorite are I-type, calc-alkaline and peraluminous. They have 87Sr/86Sr (i) and εNd(i) values of 0.71713, -10.55, Mg number between 31-33, negative anomaly of Sr and Nb, and also positive anomaly of La and Th, which represent that these rocks were generated from partial melting of lower to middle crust. These granodiorites were formed because of thickening and shorting due to continental- continental collision (collision of Iranian-Arabian plates). With respect to geographical location of Moghanlu body and the age of this units, it seems that these granitoide rocks formed on active continental margin during convergence of Central Iran and Alborz-Azarbayjan plates to Arabian platform during Precambrian.

2 - The Study of mineral chemistry, tectonomagmatic setting and petrogenesis of plutonic bodies in Sursat Complex, NW Takab, Iran

The plutonic bodies occurring in Sursat complex are some parts of plutonic rocks of Sanandaj- Sirjan Zone. Based on the field observations and microscopic studies, rocks of the study area are consist of hornblende gabbro, quartz diorite, monzodiorite, granodiorite and tonalite. The EPMA analyses of minerals such as amphiboles (in granodiorite and monzodiorite), plagioclases and alkali feldspars indicate that amphiboles are magnesiohornblende, plagioclases are albite and oligoclase and alkali feldspares are orthoclase. Geochemical studies indicate that monzodiorite unit (Turke Dare and Khangholi bodies) are metaluminous I-type and calc-alkaline in nature. They are plotted in volcanic arc granite (VAG) region with 87Sr/86Sr and εNd values equal to 0.70448 and -0.12. All evidence represent that the monzodiorite were generated from a magma which was derived from mantle affected by assimilation and contamination processes. Granodiorite unit (Pichaghci, Hamzeh Ghasem and Northeast Khangholi bodies) represents I-type, metaluminous to peraluminous and calc-alkaline characteristics and is plotted in VGA field of magmatic arc. The 87Sr/86Sr and εNd values are equal to 0.70529 and -2.82 respectively. So these granodiorites were generated through mixing processes of a mantle magma with crustal sources. Tonalite–trondhjemites group are I-type, tholeiitic, peraluminous according to the low value of Mg# (2.9-11.6), Cr (20-46 ppm) and Ni (1-2.4 ppm) contents. They are also low in LA/Yb, Sr/Y, and Nb/Ta. The slight negative anomaly in fractionated patterns of the rare earth elements (REE) and very low depletion in Eu, indicate that these rocks were resulted from amphibolitic crustal source that were previousely generated from thickened mafic crust or from basaltic plate in low pressures at shallow depth in the presence of abundant plagioclase.
