Abstract

In northeast of Sarbisheh city, southern Khorasan, outcrops of lava rocks are exist that from view of geological subdivisions, located in eastern part of Lut block. Lithologic composition of studied collections consist of andesite (pyroxene andesite, andesite, trachy andesite), dacite and rhyolite. The main texture of these rocks are porphyry with microlitic-glass groundmass, glomeroporphyritic, poikilitic and vesicular. The mineral constituents of andesitic rocks are plagioclase, pyroxene and amphibole with small quantities of biotite and sanidine and in rhyolite and dacite include of quartz, sanidine, plagioclase, amphibole and biotite. Disequilibrium textures such as chemical zoning, sieve texture, rounded and gulf shape margins in phenocrysts of these rocks are observed. Geochemical study results show that these lavas belong to high to medium-K calc alkaline series. Enrichment in LREE and LILE, depletion in HREE and HFSE with negative anomaly of Ti, Nb and P in these rocks indicated active continental margin volcanic arc magmatism. Based on tectonic discrimination diagrams, also support the relation of Zoolesk area lavas with subduction zone and active continental margin. Low ratio of Dy/Yb(<2) in studied lavas, indicated spinel lherzolite mantle source for magma.
