Petrography, mineralogy and petrogenesis of Sahebazzaman Mountain (kerman-Iran)

The Sahebazzaman Mountain is located on the 8 km east of Kerman. In this area a granitoidic body has intruded to the Cretaceous limestone and metamorphosed rocks. This skarns is covered with alluvial deposit also due to non enough erosion and existing of alluvial deposit, there is nonvisible but it has shown in isolated outcrop with 6 to 10 meter. The form of outcrop illustrat the granite intruded along the major fault with north-south trending. Petrography study show diorite to monzonite modal composition and skarns type is exo-skarn calcitic. These rocks contain wollastonite, diopside, idocras, garnet, epidot ± cholorite ± calcite. Comparing Chemical composition between skarn and non-metamorphic limestone show, in addition to the heat energy, large amount of silicic fluid is responsible to this metasomatisme, therefore this is diffusion skarn. Metamorphic grad is about albite-epidote hornfels facies to pyroxene hornfels.
