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.

Geysour area is located in the east of Gonabad city and is part of the north of the Lut Block. The rocks in this area include granitoid rocks and high temperature – low pressure metamorphic rocks. Granitoid rocks are composed of granodiorite, enclave (metamorphic and igneous) and microgranites. These rocks belong to medium to high potassium calc-alkaline series, low temperature I type granite and are poorly peraluminous. The Chondrite-normalized REE patterns show that the rocks are enriched incompatible elements, with negative anomalies in Nb, Ta, Sr, P, Ti and Ba and strong enrichment in Rb, K and Th. These patterns are in perfect harmony in granodiorite, microgranular enclave (MME) and microgranite specimens. This harmony also has in upper, middle continental crust and greywackes. Positive anomalies in Rb, Th, Sm and negative anomalies in Ba are prominent in the composition of the crust. Based on the integration of these patterns with the pattern of upper continental crust (UCC) elements and greywackes and adaptation to laboratory work, the Geysour granitoid originated from crustal materials and a little mantle component. The temperature of granitoid formation was estimated based on the Zircon saturation temperature of 748-790 ֯C. Microgranular enclaves have rounded and oval shapes, mixed areole around them, fine grained texture, quartz and plagioclase eyes, bladed biotite, needled apatite, oxide phases in biotite, and the presence of a simple mixed – hyperbolic curve between MME and granodiorite. Field, petrography and geochemistry of the major and rare earth elements data suggest mixing/ mingling (partial melting) processes for the origin of enclaves and the rare earth elements patterns indicates the relationship between Geysour granitoid with the subduction system. Analysing its data, based on logarithmic ratios, show collision tectonic environment. Also, the tectonic-chemical distinctive diagrams suggest a syn-collision to post-collision tectonic type that is interpreted in connection with the collision of the Afghan Block with the Lut Block.

Darreh-Bagh granitoidic pluton in the northwest of Aligoodarz composed of two felsic and mafic parts, with lithological composition range from diorite to quartzdiorite, and granodiorite to leucogranite respectively. Felsic rocks have calc-alkaline and peraluminous affinity and belong to S-type and continental arc granitoids (CAG). The most significant characterizes of felsic part are as follows: presence of the metapelitic andalusite bearing enclaves, silica (quartz fragments which inherited from quartz vein with metamorphic origin), surmicaceous and metapasamitic enclaves and also andalusitic xenocrysts through out of the felsic part. Mafic rocks have calc-alkaline and metaluminous affinity and belong to I-type and continental arc granitoids (CAG). Based on the field observations, petrographical and geochemical characterictics, penetration of basic-intermediate magmas into late Triassic - lower Jurassic metapelites and metagraywackes caused to rise temperature up to produce a large scale contact metamorphism including andalusite hornfels and sillimanite hornfels. Intersecting the temperature of melting point of metapelites and metagraywackes resulted in producing melts with suitable composition for forming of S – type granitoid plutons. Then, the produced magma ascended to the higher levels in the upper crust and emplaced in it. Granitoid magmas emplacement are associated with low-extent contact metamorphism up to cordierite hornfels facies.

Granitic rocks of Malayer plutonic complex contain varieties of enclaves with different shapes, sizes, mineralogy andchemical composition. The interpretation of bivariant geochemical diagrams of major oxides and trace elements with respect to higher values of some of oxides such as MnO, TiO2, MgO, CaO& FeOt than host rocks in one groups of enclaves and moreover linear trend of these oxides and some of trace elements such as Ni, Cr, V indicate to different nature and mafic source of these enclaves (Mafic type) than host rocks and other enclaves (Felsic type).The study of chemical composition of this enclaves by using of univariant and bivariant statistical methods (bivariant regression analysis, correlation coefficients, cluster analysis and principle component analysis) indicate clear chemical contrast between mafic enclaves with felsic enclaves and granitic host rocks and in other side chemical affinity of felsic enclaves and their host rocks. Distinctive distribution of the majority of oxides and trace elements of mafic enclaves and host rocks and low values for R2 in regression analysis, low value of correlation coefficient of major element oxides and trace elements between enclaves and their host rocks, separate position of samples in cluster pattern and special direction of variants and samples of vectors in bivariant diagram of principle component analysis (PCA) are outputs of different geochemical characteristics of enclaves and host rocks. Moreover this correlates with different trends of each major oxides and trace elements in bivariant geochemical diagram (Harker diagram).
