Abstract: (1261 Views)

Ophiolitic mélange of south Dehshir is a slice of Nain-Baft ophiolitic belt. Blocks of metamorphic rocks that consist of amphibolite, banded Px-Ep amphibolite, Grt-Px amphibolite, Grt-Am gneiss and Grt-Ep hornblendite are cropped out along with crustal and mantle sequence of ophiolites from south Dehshir. Thermoberometry results of three samples of Grt-Px amphibolite, Grt-Am gneiss and Grt-Ep hornblendite are compatible and indicating an average temperature and pressure of 664°C and 8.8 kb, respectively. PT conditions of metamorphic rocks of south Dehshir ophiolitic mélange are in accordance with the conditions of those from the other worldwide ophiolitic sutures. Intimate spatial relation between investigated metamorphic rocks and adjoining ophiolites, PT conditions of metamorphism and whole rock chemistry indicate that these rocks representing oceanic lithosphere of suprasubduction zone and have derived from sole metamorphism event in the subduction initiation setting.
