Biotite is usually formed as a rock-forming mineral in a wide range of felsic to intermediate intrusive rocks. Due to complex crystal structure of biotite, different elements can substitute in this rock-forming mineral; therefore can record the physicochemical conditions of the source magma. Based on the chemical classification of mica, the biotites of the igneous rocks, investigated in the Hararan area, can be placed between the poles of phlogopite and annite, and are magnesium type, which indicates their formation in high oxygen fugacity, and according to the amounts of Mg, TiO2 and FeO oxides, these biotites are primary type. These biotites belong to the calc-alkaline magmatic series formed in the subduction environment. Based on the chemistry of biotites, oxygen fugacity in the source magma of Hararan granitoid is in the range of iron oxide. Geothermometry of biotites shows that these biotites formed at temperature ranging between 680 to 780 degrees Celsius and pressure of 2 (1-2) Kbars.

The Masjeddaghi porphyry-epithermal Cu-Au deposit has located in the western part of the Alborz-Azarbaijan zone; in the south margin of Lesser Caucasus. The Eocene porphyritic quartz diorite intrusion has intruded into the andesite volcanic rocks and formed the main host rock of Cu-Au mineralization. Hydrothermal alteration types consisted dominantly of potassic, phyllic, argillic, and propylitic, and local silicification around the veins. Electron microprobe studies indicated that the Masjeddaghi biotites has been located in the phlogopite field and fall into the field of re-equilibrated primary biotite. Moreover, these biotites indicate the tectonomagmatic setting and magma characteristics related to calk-alkaline granitoids which were originated from mantle sources. The temperature of biotites from Masjeddaghi indicated a range between 417 ºC -641ºC. The conditions of oxygen fugacity in the magmatic biotites are in the range of hematite-magnetite (HM) and nickel-nickel oxide (NNO), which indicate high oxygen fugacity of the magma in this ore deposit. In the Masjeddaghi biotites, there is no linear/parallel trend between halogen fugacity,d log (ƒH2O/ƒHF), log (ƒH2O/ƒHCl) and log (ƒHF/ƒHCl) lines. Therefore, it is possible that biotites have not formed under the same conditions and were in equilibrium in a wide range of temperatures and compositions with hydrothermal fluids.

The chemical composition of biotite in mineralization associated with granitoids and copper porphyry deposits is sensitive to several chemical and physical factors. It is also related tomagmatic and hydrothermal activities including water concentration, halogen and metal deposits, oxidation-sulfidation equilibrium, volatility (in melt-fluid-vapor equilibrium), elemental distribution relationships, and temperature and pressure of economic deposits (Webster, 1997, 2004).

Detailed field studies have been done, and several thin sections and polished thin sections were studied by conventional petrographic methods. Thirty points of biotite grains were selected and analyzed by a CAMECA SX Five electron probe micro-analyzer with 15 kV accelerator voltage and 20 nA beam current (5 μm beam size) at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics in the Chinese Academy of Sciences (IGG-CAS). The results were processed using MICA + software (Yavuz, 2003a, 2003b).

The Geysour granitoid pluton (Lower Cretaceous) consists of granodiorite, mafic microgranular enclaves, and micro-granite sill. The granodioriticrocks are mainly composed of plagioclase, quartz, K-feldspar and biotite along with accessory minerals of zircon, apatite and magnetite. Mafic microgranular enclaves are composed of quartz diorite, granodiorite and biotite granite, with fine-grained to porphyry texture and large eyes of quartz and plagioclase assemblages. The microgranite has porphyry texture with a fine-grained groundmass. Its phenocrysts are plagioclase, quartz and biotite along with accessory minerals of allanite, needle like apatite, epidote and calcite.Biotite is the only ferromagnesian mineral in theGeysour granitoid which falls into the category of real trioctahedral mica. The biotites of granodiorite and enclave samples are in group I and group of ferrous biotites. The biotitesof microgranite samples are in group I and group of magnesium biotites (Tischendorf et al., 1997). In the 10*TiO2-(FeOtot+MnO)-MgO ternary diagram (Nachit et al., 2005) all the analyzed biotites fall into the field of reequilibrated primary biotite. The formation temperatures of biotites in granodiorite, enclave and microgranite are 653-732 oC, 631-724 oC and 689-732 oC, respectively (Luhar et al., 1984; Henry et al., 2005). The mean pressure values are about 4 Kbar ​​for granodiorite and enclave and 2 Kbar for microgranite (Uchida et al., 2007). Biotites of granodioriteand enclave biotites are located on top of the NNO buffer, which correspond to biotite compositions of magnetite series magmas, and biotites ofmicrogranite lie below the NNO buffer line and within the QFM buffer range. Biotite composition based discriminant diagrams cannot be used to determine the tectonic setting of the Geysour granitoids because they are low temperature I-type granites. The mean logarithmic ratios of fH2O to fHF and fHCl, and fHF to fHCl for the rocks studied are as follows: log(fH2O/fHF)fluid=4.56, log(fH2O/fHCl)fluid=4.47 and log(fHF/fHCl)fluid=-0.53. The first two values ​​are much larger than 1 indicating that the fluids are rich in water. Also, all biotites have high angles with linear trends of log(fHF/fHCl), log(fH2O/fHCl) and log(fH2O/fHF) indicating changes in fugacity conditions and halogen content of the fluid due to wall-rock reaction (Boomeri et al., 2009). Hydrothermal fluid fugacity ratio has been calculated for biotites of granodiorite, enclaves and microgranite samples at mean temperature of 661 oC, 654 oC and 703 o C, respectively, which indicate that hydrothermal fluids are of potassic type, because the log(fH2O/fHCl) is high, the log(fHF/fHCl) is slightly negative and the log(fH2O/fHF) is lower than that of phyllic alteration (Selby and Nesbitt, 2000). Meanwhile the magmatic fluid is significantly different from porphyry-type fluids (Baldwin and Pearce, 1982; Mason and Feiss, 1979; Selby and Nesbitt, 2000).

The composition of skarn's mineralizing fluids is closely related to the physicochemical conditions prevailing during the cooling and crystallization of magma. Biotite is an effective indicator for determining the physio-chemical conditions prevailing during the cooling and crystallization of magma. In this study, the biotite composition of Sarvian biotite quartz diorite from Urmia-Dokhtar magmatic arc was investigated to estimate the magma crystallization conditions and also to determine the petrological and metallogenic characteristics of the granitoid rocks.

The study area is located 15 km northeast of Delijan city and in Markazi province (Figure 1). Miocene Sarvian quartzdiorite rocks are classified into three subgroups: quartzdiorite, micro quartzdiorite and biotite quartzdiorite. In this study, 21 spots of Sarvian biotite quartzdiorite were analyzed at the Iran Mineral Processing Research Center (Table 1).

The biotites of Sarvian granitoid are crystallized at a temperature of about 750 ° C, oxygen fugacity is between 10-11 and 10-13 and the pressure is about 0.6-1.1 kbar. The mentioned crystallization conditions indicate that the biotite quartzdiorite rocks of Sarvian crystallized at high temperature, shallowly and under high oxygen fugacity conditions. In addition, it shows that Sarvian biotite quartzdiorite has a high chance of mineral exploration. Placement of Sarvian biotite quartzdiorite rocks in Cretaceous limestones and Eocene pyroclastics, crystallization at a pressure of about 1 kbar and the mentioned crystallization conditions, indicate the formation of skarns in the region. The formation of skarn iron ores in the area is a confirmatory examination that has been performed on the studies.

Emplacement of Sarvian biotite quartzdiorite rocks are at shallow depth and crystallization at high temperature conditions. High magnesium calc-alkaline magmatic series, high oxygen fugacity and type I orogenic granites from subduction of the oceanic crust below the continental plate leads to magma which is the result of melting and mixing of crust and mantle. So it has created suitable conditions for the formation of metal skarns.

The Youseflo pluton, a part of Ahar - Arasbaran magmatic belt, is located in south east of Ahar city in north east of East Azarbayejan province of Iran. The pluton is mainly composed of quartz monzonite, granodiorite and granite, however, the major investigated rock is granodioritic in composition. Quartz, Plagioclase, biotite, amphibole, K-feldspar, chlorite, zircon, sphene, apatite and opaque minerals are the minerals of these rocks. Biotites, as a significant ferromagnesian mineral in Youseflo pluton, are Mg- rich, Cl-poor where all are primary types. Considering Fe/(Fe+Mg) (from 0.36 to 0.43) and Al IV (average 2.32 apfu), minerals are classified as biotite between Annite- siderophyllit endmembers. The study of mineral chemistry of biotites demonstrates that the calculated pressure based on total Al content in biotites varies from 0.19 to 0.89 kb which is indicative of a shallow emplacement depth. Crystallization temperature of biotites based on Ti content and Ti/Fe+2 ratio suggests an average temperature of 735 oC.

Sarkuh porphyry copper deposit is located 180 km west of Kerman province, 6 km southwest of Sarcheshmeh porphyry copper mine in the northeast of Pariz city. Considering geological divisions, it is a part of Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic arc. The exposed rocks in this area are mainly composed of volcanic units, tuffs, andesite and basaltic andesite. Also intrusive units include granite to granodiorite, and to a lesser extend quartz diorite rocks. Major alterations of the deposit include potassic, phyllic, argillic and propylitic, as well as intermediate alterations such as potassic - argillic and potassic - phyllic. The purpose of this research is to study the chemical features of biotite and chlorite in order to investigate the physicochemical attributes of porphyry system during magmatic to hydrothermal transition in the patassic alteration. Based on the temperatures of reequilibrated biotite, at the time of magmatic to hydrothermal transition, the temperature ranged from 343 to 397°C. Also high magnesium nature of biotites, and their plotting in the boundary of magnetite-hematite (HM) and nickel-nickel oxide (NNO) buffering lines, as well as presence of magnetite with hematite rims indicate previlling of the high oxygen fugacity during potassic alteration.

abstract Northwest of Iran, especially Talesh zone, is one of the important Alkaline and Shoshonite magmatic activity area in the Cenozoic. Eocene - Oligocene Gabbroic rocks in the south of the city of Germi as part of the Talesh zone have penetrated the Eocene alkaline basalts. Alkaline basalts with hyalomicrolitic porphyrytic and glomerulophorphyric texture are composed of plagioclase and clinopyroxene with lower amounts of olivine minerals, dark minerals, black mica, amphibole and alkali feldspar. Gabbro masses have granular texture containing pyroxene minerals, plagioclase, black mica, amphibole and ± alkaline feldspar. Composition of all these rock outcrops are alkaline to shoshonite. The studied micaceous of south Germi, based on the chemical classification with Fe #> 0.33, have biotite composition at the interface between the two poles of sydrophyllite and stonitis, which, according to the evidence of petrography and chemical composition, coexist with amphibole. The chemical composition of these biotite is indicative of the nature of alkaline and magnesium host magma and have been crystallized from primary magma with respect to AlVI <1 values. In all studied samples, the amount of Mg # ranged from 53 to 67%, the Al Total value ranged from 2.4 to 2.58 and Fe # ranged from 0.33 to 0.47. The presence of Fe3 + in the structure of hic biotite from 1.73 to 2.23 indicates high fugacity values of 10-15 until10-17 for Ghafar Kandi gabbroic rocks and between 10-13 until 15-10 for Gabbro and basalts of Marallo with buffering of hematite and Magnetite. The studied biotites is chemically similar to the biotite samples of the Roman-type and the Marand Potassic rocks, indicating the dependence of the magma to the subduction environment.

In the north of Ziaran village, a Sill olivine gabbro to monzodiorite composition is injected into the Karaj tuffs. The dominate minerals composition of plutonic rock are Plagioclase, Alkali feldspar, Pyroxene, Olivine and Biotite. Plagioclase composition is varies, and it’s changed from Labradorite to Bytownite. Alkali feldspar is in the Orthoclase range and Pyroxene is part of Diopside. Olivine composition change from Chrysolite to Hortonolite and most of the indicators are in the Hyalosiderite range. Biotite is one of the most prominent ferromagnesian mineral in the studied bodies. Compositionally, it is plotted between the field of annite and siderophylite. Most of these biotites are primary magmatic and some are plotted in the reequilibrated area. Based on the FeO*, MgO and Al2O3 binary and ternary diagrams, the studied biotites plot in the calc-alkaline orogenic field or crystallization temperature the have been calculated between 690º to 780 ºC. The chemical composition of the pyroxenes shows that these rocks have been crystallized in a subduction geological setting. The average crystallization temperature of clinopyroxenes is about 1215 °C. Furthermore, the calculated pressure for clinopyroxenes is less than 9 Kbars.

Almost all of the well-known porphyry copper deposits in Iran occur within the Kerman Cenozoic magmatic arc (KCMA) (Fig 1) in the southeastern part of Cenozoic Urumieh–Dokhtar magmatic belt (Hassanpour et al., 2015). The Miocene Chahfiruzeh porphyry copper deposit as an example of collisional porphyry intrusion is located in the Kerman Cenozoic magmatic arc (Fig 2) (Einali et al., 2014). In this research, we attempt to characterize the physicochemical attributes of parental magma in the Chahfiruzeh porphyry deposit, using chemistry of magmatic biotite. Samples from various rocks were collected from drill cores belonging to 123.1-667.1m depths. The chemical compositions of magmatic biotites were obtained by analyzing the carbon coated polished thin sections using electron probe microanalyzer (EPMA). All samples were prepared and analyzed in the Montanuniversität Leoben, Austria using a superprobe Jeol JXA 8200 instrument. The analyses were conducted with 15 kV accelerating voltage and 10 nA beam and beam size of about 1 μm. The counting times (upper and lower) were 100 and 20 s, respectively. Chahfirouzeh porphyry deposit containing 100 Mt ore reserves (Mohammaddoost et al., 2017), and 0.4-0.8% Cu is located at the 95 km NW of Sarcheshmeh deposit and 35 km NE of Shahr-e- Babak in the Kerman province. (Einali et al., 2014). The compositions of analysed magmatic biotites from the Chahfiruzeh porphyry copper deposit are summarized in Table 1. According to (Mg–Li) vs. (Fetot + Mg + Ti–AlVI) and Mg–(Fe2+ + Mn)–(AlVI + Fe3+ + Ti) diagrams, the biotite from Chahfiruzeh deposit are Mg-rich (Fig. 5- A,B). Chemical compositions of biotites on the ternary diagram of Beane (1974) shows a magmatic origin for the analysed samples (Fig 7). Magmatic biotites are characterized by high SiO2 values ranging from 37.44-44.71 (Wt. %). Also, MgO and FeO vary between 12.54-14.36 (Wt. %) and 14.94-16.3 (Wt.%), respectively. Moreover, TiO2, K2O, and Na2O range from 4.53-5.97, 8.3- 9.38, 0.15-0.29 (Wt.%), respectively (Fig 6-A-D). Fluorine and Cl contents in biotite range from 0.3 to 1.52 wt.% and 0.03 to 0.04 wt.%, respectively. Chemical compositions of selected biotites on the classification diagrams of Abdel-Rahman (1994) indicate that magmatic biotites from the Chahfiruzeh porphyry copper deposit belong to calc-alkaline (C) series (Fig. 8). Also, according to ternary Xpdo-Xan-Xph diagram (Wones and Egster , 1965), Oxygen fugacities of Chhfiruzeh and other pre-collisional porphyry deposits (e.g., Reagan) occur in NNO distinct (Fig 9). It is evident that granitic rocks of both studied deposits are formed in relatively similar oxidiant conditions. Moreover, the preformed geothermometry on the magmatic biotites in the Chahfiruzeh porphyry the copper deposit shows a range of temperatures between 478-632 °C (average 565.3 °C). Moreover, XMg/XFe values confirm that Mg is enriched in Chahfiruzeh (collisional porphyry) compared to that of Reagan (pre-collisional porphyry; Fig 10-A). Also, fluorine has the highest concentration in collisional porphyry copper deposits. The plot of the Chahfiruzeh biotites on the log (XMg/ XFe) versus log (XF/XOH) discrimination diagram of Brimhall and Crerar (1987) represent that the intrusion crystallized from a weakly to strongly crustal-contaminated, I-type granitic magma (Fig 11). The log fH2O/fHF and fH2O/fHCl ranges between 4.69-4.84 and 4.09-4.28 having an average value of 5.14 and 4.14, respectively (Table 1). According to XFe vs. XF/XOH and XCl/XOH, Cl fugacities in Chahfiruzeh are analogous to that of Reagan porphyry (Fig 12). The calculated halogen fugacity ratios (log fH2O/fHCl vs. log fH2O/fHF and fHF/fHCl) and log fH2O/fHCl vs. IV(Cl) of magma in equilibrium with biotite for Chahfiruzeh porphyry and comparison with Reagan and other known porphyry of the world show that Chafiruzeh and Ragan deposits are analogous to those of Sarcheshmeh and Bingham porphyry deposits (Fig 13 and 14). Finally, Chahfiruzeh deposit as collisional porphyry has higher IV(F) than Reagan deposit (pre-collisional). In comparison with collisional porphyry copper systems (Chahfiruzeh), poor mineralization in the Reagan pre-collisional deposit may be due to lower Cl content of the magma in Reagan deposit.

The Keder porphyry copper deposit is located 14 km SW of Dehej in the north-eastern of Kerman Cenozoic magmatic arc. It is associated with diorite to quartz diorite intrusions. Considering the important role of oxygen fugacity, halogen content, and temperature in the mineralization efficiency of porphyry systems, the aims of present research is the investigation of these physicochemical attributes in the magmatic stage, as well as potassic alteration of Keder porphyry using biotite and chlorite chemistry. Compared with chlorite, biotite has high SiO2, K2O, TiO2 concentrations. On the other hand, Al2O3 has highest concentration in chlorite. The depletion of K2O and SiO2 are related to the formation of adularia and K-feldspar accompanying with the breakdown of biotite to chlorite. Biotite chemistry shows that the Keder intrusion is calc-alkaline in nature. Based on FeO/FeO+MgO vs MgO diagram, biotites from Keder intrusion plot within the mantle source (M) and to a lesser extent in the crustal materials field. Using the Si vs Fe2+/Fe2+ +Mg2+ diagram, secondary chlorites that replaced biotite plot collectively within clinochlore composition. Oxygen fugacities of Keder deposit occur in HM-NNO area. The investigation of geothermometry on biotites and chlorite in the Keder porphyry copper deposit shows a temperature range between 516-680° C and 180.19-369.87° C respectively. The log fH2O/fHF and log fH2O/fHCl values range between 4.57-5.77 and 4.34-4.62 that show water content is more than halogen content in Keder intrusion. According to XFe and XMg vs. XF/XOH and XCl/XOH, Cl fugacity was similar in Keder porphyry copper deposit. Finally, it seems that high temperature together with prevailing of high oxygen fugacities during potassic alteration (onset of sulfide mineralization) could be considered as important factors on low grade mineralization at Keder deposit.

The Sarmeshk granitoid pluton is located in southeast of the Urumieh-Dokhtar magmatic zone in the Kerman province. Based on petrographic studies, the granitoid consist of three rock type of diorite, granodiorite and monzogranite. They are mainly composed of plagioclase, alkali-feldspar, quartz, amphibole and biotite. Mineral chemistry of diorite, granodiorite and monzogranite indicate that the feldspars are orthoclase and oligoclase-andesin in composition. The calcic amphiboles have magnesiohornblende composition that is feature of I-type granite. The biotites with Fe/ (Fe+Mg)>0.33 are magnesio-biotites. The amounts of Al2O3, TiO2 and Mg# in amphiboles indicate crust and mantle mixing in the formation of Sarmeshk granitoid magma. Thermobarometer studies indicate that the pressure of hornblende crystallization in the Sarmeshk intrusion is about 1 to 2 Kbar and have been formed in the depth of 5.8 km. The thermometer of the hornblende- plagioclase reveal temperatures of 650-750 °C for the intrusion. The composition of hornblendes suggests their formation in high oxygen fugacity condition, which is in accordance with their mineralogical characteristics and active continental margin tectonic setting of Sarmeshk granitoid pluton.

The dacitic domes lie in the Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone. They were subjected to deformation resulting from tectonic movements. They are as oriented rocks which show deformation textures such as plagioclase with mechanical twin, biotite fish, and deformed clinopyroxene set in foliated groundmass. Under condition of hydrothermal alteration, biotites altered into chlorite with smectite interlayers and probably leucoxene and titanite intergrowths. The deformation has created micro-fractures and micro-cavities which has provided suitable spaces for fluids movements and hydrothermal alteration. The plagioclases show albitisation and sericitaion alteration (An 5-10) in these rocks.

The Iju porphyry copper deposit is located 72 km NE of Shahr-e- Babak in the western part of the Dehaj - Sardueih zone in the Kerman Cenozoic volcano - plutonic belt. In this deposit, the Miocene granitoids with dominant composition of granite, granodiorite, tonalite and quartz diorite were intruded in the Eocene volcanic and pyroclastic sequences. The potassic, propylitic, potassic-phyllic, phyllic and argillic facies are the main hydrothermal alterations in the Iju intrusive masses. Nevertheless, the hypogene mineralization is manly occurred in the potassic alteration. The aim of present work is the investigation of reequilibrated biotite and chlorite chemistry to characterize the potassic alteration in the onset of mineralization. Also, the chlorite data is used for assessing the geochemical changes owing to chloritization of biotite. Based on reequilibrated biotites, it is proved that oxygen fugacity during the potassic alteration was high so that mostly belongs to the hematite- magnetite buffering district. Moreover, the temperature in the onset of sulphide mineralization has an average of 399.85 °C. According to variations in Log (fH2O/fHF) and Log (fH2O/fHCl) values, it seems that non-homogenous hydrothermal fluids were contributed in the formation of potassic alteration in the Iju deposit. Secondary chlorites that replaced biotite have clinochlore composition and chloritization occurred around 325.48 to 373.51 °C. The chloritization process lead to Mg increasing as well as significant K2O and SiO2 decreasing contents due to the formation of K-feldspar minerals. Overall, it seems that high temperatures and the prevailing of high oxygen fugacity could be considered as one of main reasons for the low sulphide mineralization and the sub-economic nature of the Iju porphyry deposit.

Zargoli granitoid is located in the northwest of Zahedan and south-east of Iran. This granitoid is composed mainly of granodiorite. Mineral chemistry of biotite was studied in granodioite rocks with the aid of EPMA and the results of this study were compared with the mineral chemistry data of biotite in Zahedan granitoids. Total amount of aluminum in comparison to Fe / (Fe Mg) ratio in biotites of Zargoli granodiorite indicates the presence of aluminous upper crust materials (metamorphosed sediments) in magma by digestion process. Total Al amounts of biotites of Zahedan granodiorite were lower than those of Zargoli granodiorite and it is indicative that the magma of Zahedan granodiorite is less contaminated by crustal rocks. The study of mineral chemistry of biotite determines that the studied granodiorites were I-type and composed of a calc-alkaline granitic magma. This magma climbed in a subduction environment and contaminated with sedimentary rocks of the upper crust. The chemistry study of biotite determines a relatively high oxygen fugacity (10-12 to 10-13 bar) and an oxidant conditions for granodioritic magmas studied. The amount of oxygen fugacity in the Zahedan granite magma is obtained from 10-14 to 10-15 bar which in fact represents a weak oxidizing condition in the Zahedan granite magma.

The Bazman intrusive rocks are located in northwest of Iranshahr, south of Lut block, and above of Makran subduction zone. The Bazman intrusive rocks are composed of gabbro, diorite, monzodiorite, qurtze monzodiorite, granodiorite and granite. The Composition of clinopyroxenes is in the diopside-augite range and orthopyroxenes are enstatite. The studied amphiboles are classified as calcic (magnesio-hornblende) which point to the I type nature of Bazman intrusive rocks. Composition of plagioclase ranges from An0.98 to An57.5. Micas are Mg-rich biotite and show calc-alkaline characteristic (I-type). Based on mineral chemistry, the intrusive rocks show calc-alkaline characteristic (I-type) that correspond with tectono-magmatic characteristics related to subduction environments.

The study area is located in NW of Iran, East-Azarbaidjan Province in north Varzeghan. Plagioclase, amphibole and biotite are the major minerals and sphene, apatite, and quartz are accessory minerals. The texture of these dykes are porphyrytic with fine to medium matrix. Mineral chemistry analysis revealed that the composition of Plagioclase varies from andesine to oligoclase and the biotite varies from annite to siderophyllite. Amphiboles are principally of calcic-type and show magnesio-hornblende composition. These amphiboles are related to subduction zones and are concordance with active continental margins related to subduction. Dykes thermo-barometry, using total Al3 content in amphibole, shows that amphibole in quartz-dioritic dykes were crystallized at 800˚C and 4±0.5 kbars. Biotite thermometry in late dykes shows the crystallization temperature of 700 to 750 ˚C. High oxygen fugacity (-10 to -17) imply an oxidation magma and its formation in convergent plates. Based on magma character and nature determining diagrams according to chemical composition of amphibole, studied samples lie in sub-alkaline to alkaline magma series. Based on tectono-magmatic diagrams, amphiboles of the area lie in the field of suprasubduction related amphiboles. According to the amount (less than 1.5) AlIV, all of studied amphiboles placed in active continental margins related to subduction field.

The Deh-Salm metamorphic complex, including the various types of metamorphic rocks and a north-south trending sequence of the index-mineral zones, crops out associated with the felsic plutonic rocks in the eastern margin of the Central Iranian micro-continent, between the Sistan suture zone and the Lut block. Amongst the metamorphic rocks, metapelite from different parts of the complex is the most widespread. Several evidence suggest the occurrence of a progressive regional metamorphism associated with the sequence of metamorphic index minerals from the west to the east. Metamorphism of the metapelitic rocks at the greenschist facies was initiated by the garnet zone, continued to the staurolite, andalusite and sillimanite zones, and terminated at the higher orthoclase-sillimanite zone in the condition of the amphibolite-granulite facies transition. The results from the thermometry calculations, based on the Fe-Mg ratio for biotite and garnet pair in equilibrium provide new temperatures; the western part of the complex underwent the greenschist facies with a temperature between 450 to 550°C and the eastern part experienced amphibolite-granulite transitional facies under a temperature up to 750°C. Metamorphic conditions inferred by the study of the pelitic rocks and correlated to the other adjacent rocks show an Abukoma-type progressive metamorphism. It may be considered that the late-Jurassic regional metamorphism event, synchronous with the Shah Kuh granitization at the eastern margin of the Lut Block was occurred due to the subduction of the Neotethys ocean.

The Maksan granitoid is located in the south margin of Lut block, and southeastern Iran. It composed of granite, granodiorite, monzodiorite, quartz monzodiorite, diorite and gabbro. Compostions of biotite from different rock types of Maksan granitoid, i. e., granite, granodiorite, monzodiorite (Quartz monzodiorite), diorite and gabbro in SE of Iran have been documented by electron microprobe. Biotite chemical composition is Mg-biotite and based on their TiO2, MgO, MnO, FeO and AlIV content, they are primary magmatic biotites. They have formed in relatively high oxygen fugacity environment and show calc-alkaline characteristic (I-type) that correspond with tectono-magmatic characteristics related to subduction environments. Biotite mineral chemistry shows that magma constitution has low to moderate contamination with continental crust.

The post Eocene rhyolitic rocks of the Kahak area are located in SE of the Qom quadrangle map in scale of 1:250,000 and in the Kahak sheet in scale of 1:100,000. This area is situated at the marginal part of SW Central Iran, in the Urmia- Dokhtar magmatic belt. The rhyolitic rocks outcrop as endogenous domes and due to the presence of these rhyolitic masses along the Meyem strike-slip fault, it can be resulted that this fault has probably played an effective role in emplacement of magma ascending. The rhyolitic rocks are calc-alkaline and on the base of chemical composition of them and the chemistry of the present garnet and mica, the rhyolitic magma is S-type and peraluminus, which, belongs to the collision geotectonic environment and suggesting the role of continental crust in generation of these rocks. Since garnet is phenocrystal and seen individually in rhyolitic rocks and it could not be crystallized in most of the basic magmas, therefore the rhyolitic rocks could not derived from the fractional crystallization of basic magma.

Chemical analyses of chlorite flakes, as a product of alteration of biotite in the Eocene granitoid rocks of Naghade and Pasveh intrusions have been accomplished by electron microprobe for major elements. Based on 53 point analyses of chlorites from 13 rock samples, their mean structural formula recalculations display that Si cation numbers are less than 5.97 atoms per formula unit (apfu), and the sum of octahedral cations is very close to 12 both an indication of trioctahedral chlorite. The calculated mole fraction of chlorite in interlayered phase, Xc, ranges from. 0.86 to 0.94 confirming the purity of chlorite, i.e., the study chlorites are completely free of any smectite layers. Compositional variations in chlorite are strongly controlled by host biotite and rock type. Chlorite samples from Pasveh intrusion have Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratio ranges from 0.75 to 0.85 and Si contents from 5.14 to 5.69 apfu; those from Naqadeh intrusion possess Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratio ranges from 0.39 to 0.49 and Si contents from 5.45 to 5.97 apfu leading to the classification of chlorites mainly as ripidolite and pychnochlorite respectively. All major elements in the chlorite are strongly correlated with each other. Moreover, Fe/(Fe+Mg) ratio in biotite is well preserved by chlorite. Chlorite geothermometry based on the variation in tetrahedral Al content and Fe/Fe+Mg ratio within the chlorite structure shows a large variation in temperatures from 299 to 399 ºC with an average of 345 ºC for Pasveh intrusion and from 270 to 350 ºC with an average of 320 ºC for Naqadeh intrusion; both mean temperatures correspond with the mean temperatures of chlorite crystallization in a number of granitoid rocks of the world.
