ABSTRACT: Bidkhan region has an area
of approximately 104 km2. This region includes all the heights and
villages that are known by the name of Bidkhan. Chemical nomenclature of
igneous rocks is performed with the help of main oxide plots. Based on the
analysis results of the samples with minimum alteration, position of these
samples was obtained on special diagrams. The achieved data should be
compatible with field evidences at a regional scale. There are some limits to
the interpretation of the harvested samples on chemical nomenclature diagrams
for igneous rocks that should be taken into account. Lithology of Bidkhan
region was performed using the main oxides that were obtained from XRF method.
30 sample rocks, which were very fresh and without alteration, were used for
drawing diagrams and determining the position of these regional rocks on the
chemical nomenclature diagrams for igneous rocks. The results for the analysis
of the main oxides of these 30 samples are also presented.
