A sequence of Tertiary basic volcanic rocks is exposed in the east of Qazvin. The volcanic sequence is mainly composed of olivine-basalt to trachyandesite with porphyrictic, microlitic, and glassy textures. Clinopyroxene, plagioclase, amphibole, and iddingsitized olivine are the main phenocrysts. According to EPMA data plagioclase shows labradorite to bytownite composition and clinopyroxene is diopside. Geothermobarometry of clinopyroxene and amphibole represents the temperature of 1100
