Abstract:
The Gash metamorphic complex is situated at the west of Rasht city. Gasht-e-Rodkhan metamorphic rocks are considered as a part of this metamorphic complex. Metapelites (schist, gneiss and migmatite) are the most important lithological unit of the Gasht-e-Rodkhan area. Index minerals consist of staurolite, garnet, sillimanite and kyanite. The main rock forming minerals of muscovite-free melanosome of migmatites are sillimanite and biotite. There is garnet in some melanosome as well. Quartz, K-feldspar and plagioclase are the rock forming minerals of leucosome. Tourmaline, garnet, muscovite and sillimanite are accessory minerals. Average pressure and temperature calculated by Thermocalc software and conventional thermobarometers for schist, gneiss and migmatite samples are 8.6 Kb, 630°C; 6.7 Kb, 650°C and 6.3 Kb, 720°C respectively. Mineralogical parageneses and geothermal gradient resulted from thermobarometry calculations of the Gasht-e-Rodkhan metapelites are compatible with metamorphic Barrovian gradient or orogenic type. Gash complex probably represents metamorphic rocks of medium crustal depth of a collisional tectonic setting between Alborz block and Turan plate. Partial melting of metapelites and generation of associated leucogranites have taken place as a consequence of muscovite dehydration melting
