Andesitic-dacitic subvolcanic domes of Nudeh Enghelab and Kuh Kamartang are located in the northern domains of the Sabzevar ophiolitic belt, and in the northeast part of the Central Iran structural zone. Geochemically, the studied rocks exhibit a metaluminous, calc-alkaline to high k-calc-alkaline nature, and are enriched in LILE and LREE and depleted in HFSE, HREE and negative anomaly in TNT elements, and have formed in an environment related to subduction zone. With attention to their other geochemical characteristics, such as a silica content (SiO2>61wt%), Al2O3>15wt%, MgO<2.2wt%, Na2O>3.3wt%, Sr/Y>24, La/Yb>8, can be classified these rocks as high silica adakites. The petrographical, geochemical and isotopic ((87Sr/86Sr)i=0.7047-0.7045, ƐNdi=6.02-6.10) characteristics display that the studied high silica adakites have been originated from partial melting of subducted oceanic slab of Neo-Tethys (Sabzevar sea/ocean sub-branch) under the Turan plate in amphibolite to garnet amphibolite facies and during the ascent to high levels, they show very little assimilation and contamination with continental crust.
