Abstract
The kinematic analysis of the Koushk-e-Nosrat Fault (striking WNW-ESE) at north Saveh city indicates that since a time after early Miocene it has been inverted from dextral strike-slip (and reverse-dextral-oblique slip) to reverse-sinistral (and sinistral strike-slip( displacement.

The kinematic analysis of the Koushk-e-Nosrat Fault (striking WNW-ESE) at north Saveh city indicates that since a time after early Miocene it has been inverted from dextral strike-slip (and reverse-dextral-oblique slip) to reverse-sinistral (and sinistral strike-slip( displacement. The Kinematic evidences of right-lateral strike-slip displacement are: 1) Generation of the Koushk-e-Nosrat pull-apart basin along the bended segment of the fault in north Saveh city where a thin sequence of the Qom Formation (late- Oligocene to early Miocene) has been deposited in this narrow basin. 2) Shear bands and other kinematic indicators of right-lateral strike-slip and reverse-dextral-oblique slip displacements exist in the fault zone. 3) Synthetic right-lateral and antithetic left-lateral strike-slip faults are observed in wall damage zones around the main fault zone. The evidences of left-lateral strike-slip displacements after slip sense inversion are: sinistral- reverse faults, pure reverse faults, sinistral strike-slip faults and folds are generated in the Koushk-e-Nosrat Fault zone. The younger left-lateral reverse kinematic of the Koushk-e-Nosrat Fault is another significant evidence for the main role of the left-lateral reverse faults in deformation of the Qom-Saveh district in NW part of the Central Iran Block that has been tested before by structural and morphological kinematics of other major faults in the area like the Ipak (south Boin-zahrah) and Alborz (north Qom) Faults and seismological evidence of earthquake in the Boin-zahra areas.

Nepheline syenite intrusive of Kaleybar is located in South and West of the Kaleybar city in eastern Azarbayjan province. This zoned intrusive complex is formed by penetration of two separated silica undersaturated and saturatated magmatic phases with Oligocene-Miocene ages. Undersaturated rocks are composed of alkali pyroxenite, mela alkali-gabbro to nepheline gabbro-diorte, nepheline syenite and nepheline sodalite syenite dikes. Silica saturated rocks is consist of a quartz monzonitic stock, which has penetrated in the center of nepheline syenite intrusive and related quartz syenite - micro syenite dikes. Undersaturated phase has potassic alkaline affinity and nepheline syenites are miaskitic Malignite. In contrast, silica saturated rocks belong to high-K calc-alkaline to shoshonitic magma. Field observation, petrographical and geochemical studies, indicates that undersaturated rocks are comagmatic and crystal fractionation, accumulation and low density minerals floatation processes play significant role in their magmatic evolution. High enrichment of rare elements especially LREE and LILE compare to variable depletion of HREE and HFSE are infer a basanitic parental magma generated from a previously subduction-metasomatised lithospheric mantle source. Silica saturated magma of Kaleybar was probably resulted form the lower crust Partial melting and geochemical similarities resulted from partial melting of lower crust and its geochemical similarities with undersaturated parts is due to magma mixing and contamination. Repeatedly injection of alkaline and calc-alkaline magmas could be occurred in a post collision setting after Eocene in Azerbaijan region.
