Neogene and quaternary volcanism of the Bijar Area (Western Iran)
Bulletin Volcanologique(1976)
摘要
In the Bijar region (Western Iran) two distinct volcanic cycles have been recognized. The first, of Upper Miocene age, consists
of high-K cale-alkaline volcanic rocks interpreted as final products of the cale-alkaline Tertiary phase of central Iran.
The second volcanic cycle, mostly of Pleistocene age (0.5–1.3 m.v.) consists of undersaturated, mainly potassic, alkaline
products. As the lavas of this last phase are slightly fractionated, the chemical differences shown by these rocks have been
interpreted as primitive features related to the physical conditions governing the partial melting in the mantle and/or the
mantle heterogeneity. In a volcanic center (Sarajukh volcano) contemporaneous basic and acid magmas have been found, and interpreted
as derived from two different and independent sources. The alkaline basic volcanism is considered as an expression of disjunctive
processes that have affected the western margin of the Iranian plate after the Pliocene.
