Abstract

The studied area is located in N-Sonqor and in the Sanandaj-Sirjan zone. Field relationships and petrographic evidence show that volcanic rocks of the north of Bashirabad comprise of trachydacite to trachyandesite (and altered basaltic trachyandesite) and in the south of this area, it consists of andesite to trachyte. Their texture is mainly porphyry. Geochemical data {total abundance of (Na2O+K2O), enrichment of large lithophile ion elements and rare light earth elements) indicate that these rocks belong to the alkaline series. Spider diagrams show enrichment in LREE and depletion HREE, and parallel patterns in all volcanic samples confirm their common origin. According to modeling magmatic processes, fractional crystallization, assimilation and crustal contamination have played an important role in the magma forming the studied rocks. The discriminating diagrams the tectonic setting the Bashirabad volcanic rocks indicate their subduction-related volcanic arc that was formed in an active continental margin environment with local tensions.
