Abstarct: Ultramafic-mafic polygenesis Sargaz-Abshor complex with an area of about 600 square kilometers in the range of longitudes 55, ˚56 to 55, ˚57 and latitudes 20, ˚28 to 30, ˚28 in the southern part of the belt. The Sanandaj-Sirjan mextamorphism is located in the south of Kerman, in the area of Esfandeh Baft, within the Upper Paleozoic mextamorphic complexes. This complex consists of a connected ultramafic-mafic sequence. Then diabaxse, gabbroic, gabbro-pegmatoid dikes and large gabbroic mass of Abshor have penetrated into it at different times and tectonic environments. The ultramafic-mafic sequence consists of three porphyroclastic harzburgite-dunite units (mantle tectonite), transitional and crustal laxyered ultramafic-mafic cumulus.. (178.3 Ma), have penetrated into it at different times and geo-structural environments. The ultramafic-mafic sequence itself consists of three units, harzburgitic-dunite porphyroclastic (tectonite), transitional, and cumulates of ultramafic-mafic laxyers. Geological relations, age and existing structures show that the ultramafic-mafic complex of Sargaz-Abashor has many similarities with the intrusive ultramafic-mafic masses of Alpine type. The thermobarometric results show in different ways that this intrusive mass, like other alpine masses, was replaced at temperatures above 1000°C and high to medium pressures as a mantle plume ascending inside the Upper Paleozoic mextamorphic rocks and then at temperatures 800 to 950°C has undergone the final equilibrium of the solid state. The high amount of Cr# and Mg# in chromespinels in porphyroclast dunites indicates that these samples are derived from a depleted mantle origin compared to other parts of the Sargez-Abshor complex. Spinels of dunites and chromitites in the porphyroclastic zone and chromitites of the transition zone are comparable with the characteristics of pre-arc peridotites. While transitional ultramafics are characterized by overlap between fore-arc, abyssal, and transduction zones. The dated laxyered gabbro (320.8 ± 6.4 Ma) associated with the ultramafic-mafic complex has a different age from isotopic gabbro (178.3 ± 2.3 Ma), suggesting that the ultramafic-mafic complex formed in a different tectonic regime that was responsible for the rifting of the Cadomian fragments from northern Gondwana and opening of the Neotethys basin during the Middle-Late Paleozoic. This agrees with their geochemical affinities, including REE- and trace patterns distributed between DMM and N-MORB, similar to low-Ti IAT from a SSZ geodynamic environment.
