Geochemistry, Paragenesis, and Wall-Rock Alteration of the Qatruyeh Iron Deposits, Southwest of Iran: Implications for a Hydrothermal-Metasomatic Genetic Model

(a) Mineral assemblages of Na-Ca metasomatism in plutonic rocks. Albite + titanite + epidote + actinolite + calcite + magnetite (XPL), (b) magnetite mineralization is contemporaneous with the main phase of actinolitization (PPL), (c) chalcopyrite and pyrite as a late phase with magnetite (sulfides minerals include inclusion of magnetite) (RL), (d) a host-breccia (cataclastic texture), crashed calcite with hematite matrix (PPL). Mineral abbreviations: Act = actinolite, Alb = albite, Cal = calcite, Cal-Dol = calcite and dolomite, Ccp = chalcopyrite, Epi = epidote, Mt = magnetite, Py = pyrite, and Spn = sphene.
