Abstarct: The studied area is located in the Km of the N-NE of Semnan in the end of central
Alborz structural zone. Sedimentary, Igneous and mextamorphic rocks are the main rocks
us this area. Igneous outcrops include gabbros and granitoids. Nokeh granitoides contain
mainly granodiorite and alkali feldspar granite. Igneous plutons of Attari area have
granites and monzogabbroic compositions.Quatrz, plagioclase and k-feldspar are essential
rock forming minerals of the granites. Biotites, green hornblende, sphen and opaque
minerals are the other rock forming minerals of the gabbros. Granitic rocks show the
granular, graphic, myrmekitic and perthite textures. Plagioclase, augite and olivine are the
essential minerals of gabbros. Chlorite, epidote and calcite are the secondary minerals of
gabbroic rocks. Gabbros show granular, intergranular and ophitic textures. Plotted
geochemical diagrams on the baxse of major and trace elements of the studied rocks
indicate that there is no a magmatic and genetic relation between gabbros and granites and
also they originated from the same magma source regions. With attention to field,
petrography and geochemistry investigation, gabbros originated from melting of an
enriched mantle and the granitic rocks originated from melting of lower crustal igneous
rocks. Granites rocks have mextaluminous to weak peraluminous nature and belong to I
type granitioids of continental volcanic arcs. mextasomatism process along the contact of
granitoids rocks with host rocks is resulted to form iron skarn. Skarnization(ingeneral
concept) and producing garnet-megnetite-diposide paragenesis and scapolitizating in the
alkali-feldspar granites and their tuffaceous host rocks. Contact mextamorphism progressed
to pyroxene hornfels facies and maximum P-T condition is : º C temperatures and
about 2 Kbar.
