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.

Abstract
Khankandi pluton is located in northwestren part of Iran, within Garadagh (Arasbaran) - south Armenia block. Main units of the pluton are monzonite and granodiorite associated with minor gabbro and lamprophyric and dacitic dykes. Granodioritic plutonism is followed by gabbro and monzonite. Lamprophyric ...

Khankandi pluton is located in northwestren part of Iran, within Garadagh (Arasbaran) - south Armenia block. Main units of the pluton are monzonite and granodiorite associated with minor gabbro and lamprophyric and dacitic dykes. Granodioritic plutonism is followed by gabbro and monzonite. Lamprophyric and dacitic dykes are emplaced at the end of the granodioritic plutonism. Gabbro and monzonites are shoshonitic, and granodiorites and dacites have high K-calc alkaline nature and charactistics of C-type (potassic or continental) adakites and high Ba-Sr granitoides. Lamprophyres are alkaline and have camptonitic composition. The monzonites follow fractionation trend of gabbro with minor crustal assimilation and contamination. Melting of garnet bearing mafic lower crust, metasomatised lithospheric mantle and upwelling asthenosphere produced granodioritic and dacitic, shoshonitic gabbro and lamprophyric magma respectively. The production of various magma types in the Oligocene of the Arasbaran occurred in response to slab break off and/or delamination of lithospheric mantle and upwelling of asthenosphere. Plutonism occurred after collision between Iranian and Arabian plates and crustal thickening in the extensional post collisional tectonic setting.

Hashtsar ultramafic – mafic intrusive complex is located at about 20 km east of the Kaleybar in the eastern AzerbaijanProvince. This alkaline ring complex is formed by the penetrative of undersaturated and oversaturated different magmatic phases with Late Eocene to Oligocene – Miocene ages. Petrographical studies show that this massive consists of three main phases. The first phase is composed of magnetite mela alkali pyroxenite, plagioclase bearing alkali pyroxenite and mela alkali gabbro with coarse grained gabbroic dykes. The second phase consists of the nepheline bearing leuco gabbro - diorite to nepheline monzodiorite and nepheline monzonite, and the third phase is syenite with quartz - monzosyenite to granite with calk-alkaline affinity. Geochemical studies indicate that undersaturated phases are intensively enriched in trace elements, especially in LILE and LREE. These magmas have generated from the parental magma with a potassic alkaline affinity from a metasomatic mantle. The different rocks types of undersaturated phases were produced by the liquid immiscibility, crystal fractionation and accumulation processes. The calc-alkaline magma of the third phase is probably resulted from the lower crust melting due to penetrative of first and secondary phases. Particular and ring emplacement of this complex is concluded by the eruption and discharge of huge and zoned magma chamber, after the caldera subsidence such as, volcanic string of Majid Abad formation in the Hashtsar region.
