Mineral chemistry, P-T and tectonometamorphic evolutions of garnet amphibolites from the Takht-e-Soleyman, NW Takab

Garnet amphibolites from Takht-e-Soleyman, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Iran, reveal distinct mineral chemistry and metamorphic evolution linked to tectonic processes. The study identifies pressure-temperature (P-T) conditions of approximately 6–8 kbar and 700–750°C during the metamorphic peak, suggesting subduction-related metamorphism. Mineral compositions indicate complex fluid-rock interactions, with garnet showing zoning patterns that reflect changes in pressure and temperature over time. This research provides critical insights into the tectonometamorphic history of the region, contributing to a better understanding of the geological dynamics that shaped Takht-e-Soleyman's unique landscape.
