Abstract: (2444 Views)
Sabzevar ophiolitic pillow lavas contain variolitic, porphyritic with microlitic matrix, intersertal and amygdaloidal textures and include plagioclase, clinopyroxene (augite-diopside), olivine, amphibole (magnesiohastingsite) and opaque minerals. The chemical composition of clinopyroxenes show a calc-alkaline magmatic series and a tectonic environment within plate alkaline basalts. Geochemically, these rocks are divided into two groups. Group 1 is basically calc-alkaline andesite with low TiO2 and group 2 is alkali basalt with high TiO2. N-MORB normalized trace elements diagram shows that group 1 is enriched in Th, U, La and depletion in Ta, Nb, Ti and group 2 is enriched in Th, Ta and Nb. Calc-alkaline rocks have produced in a subducted tectonic environment by a continental crust and erupted southwards on the Turan plate. In contrast, alkaline rocks formed within plate oceanic and then tectonically accreted in the forearc setting.
