摘要
The mafic intrusive Moskin and Parvaneh regions in the northwest and south of Urmia were investigated for their geochemistry and petro-physical properties such as size,shape,and spatial distribution of their crystals.This type of study can be a powerful tool for analyzing the history of magma crystallization,along with geochemistry examinations.The gabbroic calc-alkaline rocks,with the Early Cenozoic is the relative age,consist of coarse plagioclase and amphibole with rare clinopyroxene and olivine in the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone at sedimentary-structural subdivisions of Iran.The depletion of HFSEs and enrichment of LILEs as arc-related rocks,as well as lower crust contamination(Nb/Th and K/Ce)symptoms,show that these gabbros formed at the continental arc setting from an enriched source.Considering the geographical position and relative age of the gabbros,they possibly outcropped during the Neo-Tethys subduction processes after the enrichment by considerably lower crust effects.The amphibole and plagioclase crystals with considerable abundance show linear crystal size distribution(CSD)patterns with a slope of(-1/Gt)-3 to-4 for amphiboles and plagioclase except for Parvaneh plagioclase which shows-16.The annealing(Ostwald ripening)caused the convex CSD on the small grains part at Parvaneh gabbro.Therefore,the ratio of nucleation to growth rates(J/G)for these minerals is 5-6 times,only for Parvaneh plagioclase is ten times which numerous nuclei were made by a significant degree of overstepping in the rocks.There is no magma mixing evidence because of the linear(one population of crystals)CSD patterns.The shape of amphibole crystals in gabbros is bladed(with S/I=0.4-0.5 and I/L=0.1-0.3)and bladed to tabular for plagioclase(S/I=0.4 and I/L=0.6-0.7).The spatial distribution patterns(SDPs)are calculated from a big R-value based on the nearest neighbor’s theory for amphibole and plagioclase crystals,confirming clustered SDP for all of them.Also,the dihedral angle measurements(between amphibole and plagioclase grains)display that solid-state equilibrium is prevailing in the rocks.In this study,we tried to establish a relationship between geochemistry and petro-physical results and investigate the evolution of igneous rocks more accurately and all-inclusive.We should not neglect the importance of quantifying the texture of rocks.
