Abstract
In the Gezeldash_daghi region, there is a significant outcrop of Miocene volcanic activity with andesitic composition associated with pyroclastic deposits including tuff, breccia and agglomerate. These rocks have porphyry to microporphyry texture with coarse crsytals of pagioclase, and matrix includes plagioclase, hornblende and minor biotite. Zoning, sieve texture in the coarse crystals of these lavas is an indicative of unstable conditions during magma solidification. These lavas have calc-alkaline nature. The geochemical characteristics of Gezeldash_daghi lavas such as LREE enrichment than HREE as well as enrichment of LILE elements with negative Nb, Ti and P anomalies indicate their affilliation to subduction setting. These rocks contain high amounts of SiO2, Sr, Sr / Y and La / Yb, and lower values of Y, MgO, and Yb than classic calc-alkaline volcanic rocks, and may indicate lava adakitic features. Based on the geochemical data, these lavas had formed partial melting of subducted oceanic crust. The depletion of rare earth elements indicates a residue containing garnet and hornblende in the source area.
