Alvand plutonic body is one of the largest intrusive plutons in northern part of Sanandaj-Sirjan zone which is located in south of Hamadan city. It is composed of porphyroid and leucocratic granitoids, basic intrusive rocks, and abundant enclaves in various sizes and in a variety of forms. Biotites of porphyroid monzogranite, diorite, felsic microgranular enclave, mafic microgranular enclave and surmicaceous enclaves are located in magnesian biotites and biotites of norites in phlogopite field. Orthopyroxenes of norite are clinoenstatite and orthopyroxenes of mafic microgranular enclaves are clinofrosilite. Based on the Ti-in-biotite thermometer, temperature of monzogranite porphyroid is 662 to 734 oC, norite is 688 to 776 oC, diorite is 598 to 724 oC, surmicaceous enclaves temperature is 662 to 687 oC, felsic microgranular enclaves is 694 to 712 oC and mafic microgranolar enclaves is 635 to 737 oC. the enclaves of the Alvand plutonic body and their host rocks are located in the field of calc-alkaline suite. Orthopyroxenes in the norite and mafic microgranular enclaves indicate that rocks of the Alvand intrusive complex are located in the field of high oxygen fugacity rocks. It is in accordance with calc-alkaline property of rocks and is consistent with the subduction-related tectono-magmatic environment.

The Horjand area is located in northeast of Kerman in the Central Iran zone and the Kashmar-Kerman tectonic belt. In this area, gabbroic rocks and doleritic dykes are intruded into the sedimentary rocks of Desu Series with Infra-Cambrian age. The gabbros and doleritic dykes have relatively same composition. The main minerals are plagioclase and clinopyroxene. Their texture is medium to fine granular and ophitic to sub-ophitic. The plagioclase minerals of the rocks have labradorite composition (An53-67), but as a result of saussuritization in gabbros and doleritic dykes, the plagioclase changed to oligoclase and albite composition, respectively. The mineral chemistry of clinopyroxenes display Mg-Ca-Fe type which are diopside and augite. The distribution of aluminum in clinopyroxenes structure show that the minerals were crystallized from a magma with water vapor pressure less than 10 percent. On the basis of the chemical charaterstions of the clinopyroxenes, the magma source has predominantly had tholeiitic to minor alkaline affinities with a tectonic setting related to within plate environments. Geothermobarometry evaluations of the clinopyroxenes reveal that the mafic rocks were formed at temperatures of 1127-1200 ˚C and pressure less than 6 Kbar.
