  1 - Late Cretaceous Island-arc subduction magmatism in northern edge of central Iran, SW Sabzevar

  A thick sequence of Late Cretaceous volcano-sedimentary rocks crops out on the northern margin of Central Iran, in the southwest of the Sabzevar. The igneous rocks include extrusions (trachy-andesite, dacite and rhyolite) and shallow depth intrusions (gabbro, gabbrodiorite, diorite and granite). These igneous rocks have geochemical signatures of magmatic rocks of island-arc subduction zones and plot within field in different tectonic setting discrimination diagrams. The parental magma of these rocks has island arc tholeiitic nature and was produced via partial melting of a depleted spinel lherzolite mantle source during closing of the Sabzevar Neo-Tethyan oceanic basin in the Late Cretaceous. This depleted mantle source was affected by the metasomatic fluids released from dehydration of the Neo-Tethys subducted oceanic slab. Manuscript profile

  Dust is one of the atmospheric phenomena that has adverse environmental effects and consequences. In order to study dusts in Sabzevar, samples were collected at the end of each season in 1390. In this research, sampling containers were installed in 16 locations on the roofs of houses and governmental offices based on the main and sub geographical directions and trapped samples in MDCO were measured by 0.0001 accuracy scale. For geochemical studies due to the volume of dust collected and the importance of the samples, basic oxides and trace elements of fine dust were measured using atomic absorption and ICP methods. Results has shown that the maximum dust volume were collected in the spring while the concentration of most polluting elements is higher in autumn. In terms of pollution, Cadmium and Zinc are of primary importance in sabzevar due to their very high pollution coefficient. Chromium and Nickle are of secondary importance with being in the range of moderate pollution and significant pollution coefficient. In the current situation, the pollution of elements such as copper, lead and arsenic in the dust of Sabzevar is not critical and worrying. Manuscript profile

  3 - Geology, structure, texture, fluid inclusion and formation model of Michigan type copper mineralization in the Sebandoon deposit, Northeast of Iran
  B. Hammamipour Baranji H.A. Tajeddin M. Movahednia
  The Sebandoon copper deposit is located in the northern part of the Sabzevar subzone. The rock units exposed in the area consist of upper Cretaceous volcano-sedimentary sequences of trachyte, trachyandesite, basalt, split, shale, dacite and sandstone. The Sebandoon nati More

  The Sebandoon copper deposit is located in the northern part of the Sabzevar subzone. The rock units exposed in the area consist of upper Cretaceous volcano-sedimentary sequences of trachyte, trachyandesite, basalt, split, shale, dacite and sandstone. The Sebandoon native copper deposit comprises stratabound mineralization which is hosted in split basalt. The main ore structures and textures in the deposit include disseminate, veinlets, open space filling and replacement forms. The ore mineral assemblages are simple and consist of native copper, coprite and malachite and main gang minerals are zeolite, calcite, quartz, chlorite and epidote. Fluid inclusion studies on ore-bearing zeolite reveal that majority of primary inclusions are liquid-rich two-phase (LV) ones. The studies indicate homogenization temperatures were between 228 and 340°C and salinity varied between 0.6 to 5.7 wt% NaCl eq. Based on the evidence from geology, mineralogy, alteration, fluid inclusion, and geodynamic environment, the Sebandoon copper deposit is similar to Michigan copper type deposits, in which copper was leached from the basaltic rocks during burial metamorphism and the ore-forming fluids moved upwards and subsequently deposited as native copper due to low pressure and mixing with meteoric fluids.
