Abstract:The Keshe area is a part of Cenozoic magmatic belt of Central Iran. Some volcanics in this area underwent hydrothermal alteration including kaolinitization and alunitization. The altered rocks are characterized by an assemblage of alunite, kaolinite and quartz, which is typical in advanced argillic alteration. The mineralogical study suggests that the hydrothermal alteration in this area occurred in a magmatic hydrothermal environment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
