Keywords:
Tarum, Lava, pyroclastic, magma combination and mixing, magma contamination, fractionation, continental crust.
Abstract
The studied area is located in the high altitudes of Tarum region on the Alborz mountainous area, southwestern Gilan province, IranAccording to the tectonic- sedimentology aspect, the region has been located on Western Alborz- Azerbaijan zone. The igneous rocks of the area are generally pyroclastic units and the lavas ages belong to Eocene to Oligocene. Lavas are basalt, andesite, trachyandesite, dacite and rhyolite. Pyroclastic rocks are tuffs (lithic crystal tuff, halo-lithic tuff, sandy tuff, clay tuff and tuffit), ignimbrite, breccia, scoria and pumice. Rhythmic lava layering based on its composition represents a diffraction in a magma chamber. Results of microscopic studies (e.g. nonhomogeneous mineral accumulation, selective mineral alteration, erosion and opacification of mineral margins, Serration boundaries among phenocrysts, sieve texture, opacity margin and globule faces, Oscillatory zoning in clinopyroxene, inclusion zones in plagioclase, two generation types of plagioclase crystals and needle shape apatite) reveal magmatic evaluation including Crystal fractionation, magma mixing and magmatic contamination in the rocks. The trend for comparative pattern for basic, intermediate and acidic samples are parallel and it shows the trend for the continental crust representing the similar source among the samples and crust contamination. The source magma these rocks have been influenced by AFC (Assimilation Fractional Crystallization) and FC (Fractional Crystallization) processes; hence, the geochemical properties are away from its source.
