The Hassan Abad Zn-Pb deposits is located in the northeast of Isfahan, Central Iran zone. The host rock of this mineralization is the dolomite of Middle Triassic Shotori Formation. Mineralization included galena, sphalerite, sulfosalts, pyrite and barite which associated with dolomitization. Based on petrographic studies six types of dolomites (in terms of shape and size of the crystals, the distribution of crystal size and shape of the border crystal) has been identified, that including very fine, medium, coarsely crystalline dolomite, Saddle dolomites and filling pore spaces and veins. The first and second type of dolomites were formed as synsedimentary or diagenetic dolomite with sabkha origin. The third type of dolomite in the late stages of diagenesis was formed in shallow burial conditions due to recrystallization of small crystalline dolomite. Coarse-grained and saddle dolomites have been created under the conditions of deep burial and as hydrothermal dolomites and are related to mineralization. Move over, the origin of magnesium for fine crystalline dolomites were seawater, and for coarse crystalline dolomites are probably the brine fluids of the compacted Sorkh Shale Formation and hydrothermal fluid.
