Zusammenfassung |
This study describes the structural setting, petrogenesis, and geochronology of a
suite of acidic magmatic rocks that are intruded in the metamorphic core of the
Tertiary ophiolitic suture zone of the Sabzevar Range, NE central Iran. This ophiolitic
complex consists of a ductile-to-brittle, S/SE-verging orogenic domain, where a frontal
nonmetamorphic and an inner metamorphic sector can be identified in the field. The
metamorphic domain consists of a major ophiolitic tectonic mélange, where variably sized,
foliated metabasic rocks (blueschists, greenschists, and amphibolites) occur dispersed
as centimetre- to kilometre-size blocks into a highly sheared serpentinite matrix.
The granitoids occur as leucocratic tabular bodies, with variably developed contact
metamorphic zones that are typically gradational in the field and concordant with
the regional country rock foliation. The field relations with the host rocks and the
internal (magmatic to solid state) fabrics in the Sabzevar granitoids document a
syntectonic magma emplacement scenario, based on: (1) concordance of pluton shapes
and internal structures with regional structures (S-L fabrics); (2) the existence of a
continuum of magmatic through solid-state noncoaxial flow consistent with the regional
sense of shear (top-to-the-SSE); and (3) occurrence of foliated wall-rock xenoliths,
incorporated by flowing magma into the marginal sectors of the intrusive bodies. These
points, together with the evidence that magma preferentially migrated along flats,
attest that the Sabzevar granitoids intruded into rocks that were actively deforming
during compressional shearing. In the TAS diagram, the granitoid compositions
define a medium-K calc-alkaline suite, spanning from basaltic andesite to the dacite
and rhyolite fields. They show characteristic low MgO (0.15–0.60 wt%) and Ni
