Major and trace element analyses of upper Paleozoic komatiites located near Mashhad, NE Iran

Upper Paleozoic, probably Permian, komatiites have been found in the Paleo Tethys suture zone in NE Iran. These komatiites play a crucial role in constraining the thermal evolution of the mantle throughout the Phanerozoic. Analyses of major and trace elements, along with geochemical studies of these rocks, yield important insights into the melting conditions of the hottest regions of the mantle.

在伊朗东北部的古特提斯缝合带中，发现了上古生代的可能为二叠纪的科马提岩。这些科马提岩在限定显生宙期间地幔的热演化过程中起着至关重要的作用。对这些岩石的主要元素和微量元素的分析，以及其地球化学研究，为揭示地幔最热区域的熔融条件提供了重要的洞见。
