Introduction The geology of Iran is immensely complicated

because of the collision between the micro-continents and the overprinting of many metamorphic and tectonic events, the result of from different geological evidence will provide good knowledge on rocks history [1-7]. Therefore, in this study is foused on the magmatic, metamorphic and metasomatic events and phases in Robat-e Zengejeh area.

Robat-e Zengejeh granitoids mostly composed of granodiorite, monzogranite, syenogranite and granite, located in 85 km southwestern Bardaskan city and

Zebarkouh Mountains (57º 24ʹ- 57º 36ʹ E and 35 º 46ʹ 3ʺ- 35 º 50ʹ 6ʺ N; Fig. 1)[8]. These rocks are exposed in a NE-SW trend along the Naiband fault. The activity of Naiband fault deformed granitoids to mylonites and granite-gneiss. Robat-e Zengejeh granitoids intruded within metamorphic rocks that mainly are phyllite, mica schist, amphibolite, and gneiss. In some parts of the granitic intrusions (particularly in the rim), mineralogy and texture is different from the primary igneous rocks which is pointing to metasomatic effect in the area. Beside these, high-grade (amphibolites facies) and low-grade (low-greenschist facies) regional metamorphic phases are affected Robat- Zengejeh rocks as well as

Zengejeh granites. Conclusion

Based on the new interpretation of U-Pb age data (this paper), the field observations as well as petrological and geochemical evidences, it’s possible to determine geological events occurred in Robat-e Zengejeh area. It seems that the amphibolite facies metamorphism occurred before 624±5 Ma. In 624±5 Ma ago, mesocratic granites intruded in older regional metamorphic rocks and shortly afterwards hololeucocratic granites intruded in mesocratic units. Both mesocratic and hololeucocratic granites show similar petrological and geochemical characteristics, it can be concluded that they are similar and derived from a same magmatic source. After Robat-e Zengejeh magmatism, a dynamometamorphism overprinted the rocks. Deformation of granites to mylonite and granite-gneiss with mineralogical evidences as well as the occurrence of strong lineation in amphibolites along the northern faults are consequences of this event. Based on petrographic studies, Robat-e Zengejeh dynamometamorphism estimated as high as medium-grade (mylonitization). Then Robat-e Zengejeh rocks metamorphed in greenschist facies (e.g. phyllite). According to field study, the second age obtained by U-Pb geochronology (151±14 Ma) and previous results, it can be concluded that the late Cimmerian orogeny could be responsible for the low-grade (greenschist facies) metamorphism as well as dynamometamorphism in Robat-e Zengejeh rocks. Finally, sodic metasomatism overprinted some parts of Robat-e Zengejeh granites.
