Bulletin of the Mineral Research and Exploration
The Late Jurassic aged Lisar granite in North Iran is in tectonic contact of the form of thrust and strike slip faults with Upper Cretaceous sandy limestone and is covered by Paleogene polygenetic conglomerate in the Talesh Mountain at the western continuation of the Alborz range. The rock samples of the granite are pink coloured and coarse-gained with K-feldspar, quartz, plagioclase, biotite and amphibole. The Lisar granite is more likely emplaced in an extensional environment indicated with numerous space filling silica-rich aplitic veins in the rocks. The granite samples are moderately altered and feldspars are changed to sericite and clay …
