Abstract

The 43Ma Gapdan granitoid pluton is a part of Zahedan-Saravan granitoid belt and is located about 50 km NW of Zahedan. The pluton is mainly composed of biotite granite and granodiorite in composition and consists of quartz, plagioclase, K-feldspar, biotite, Fe-Ti oxides, zircon, apatite, and allanite. The granitoid rocks are mainly granular in texture, although they display poikilitic, perthite and myrmekite textures. The present paper aims to determine nature, the physico-chemical of crystallization and tectonic setting of the pluton based on mineral chemistries of biotite and feldspar. The biotite chemistry represents that the pluton is I-type and calc-alkaline which formed in an active continental margin. Biotite thermo-barometry presents that the mineral has been crystalized at 850 oC and 2-5 kbar, while two-feldspar thermometry shows temperatures of 555-734 oC which is a subsolidus re-equilibrium temperature of elements for Gapdan granitoid rocks. The pluton hosted lots of sedimentary and igneous enclaves, suggesting the parent magma was contaminated with country rocks during ascending and emplacement.
