CLINOPYROXENE COMPOSITION AND GENESIS OF BASALTS FROM COLOURED SERIES AND EXOTIC BLOCKS IN THE NEYRIZ AREA (SOUTHERN IRAN): A COMPARISON WITH HAYBI COMPLEX OF OMAN
The pyroxene composition of basaltic rocks from the Coloured Series and Exotic blocks in the Neyriz area are discussed. Comparison has been made with equivalent rocks from Oman. The clinopyroxene compositions are in cognation with trace and rare-earth element analyses which definately confirm the oc...

| Summary: | The pyroxene composition of basaltic rocks from the Coloured Series and Exotic
blocks in the Neyriz area are discussed. Comparison has been made with equivalent
rocks from Oman. The clinopyroxene compositions are in cognation with trace and
rare-earth element analyses which definately confirm the occurrence of three
different trends in basic lavas: I-Depleted tholeiite, 2-Transitional basalt, 3-Alkali
basalt. The alkali basalts are considered to be generated by the same processes that
produce tholeiitic liquids but are thought to have had a different fractionation
