Abstract :

It is widely accepted that many geological structures (e.g. faults, minerals) show scale invariance, i.e. they are self-similar within a large range of scales. In this paper, fractal dimension of plagioclase crystals in micro diorite-quartz diorite and basaltic andesite from SE Birjand have calculated using box-counting method. Image analysis techniques are applied and fractal dimension varies between 1.33 to 1.74 that correspond with geochemical modeling of magma mixing Coupled fractal analysis and geochemical data reveal that D increases as the degree of magma interaction (homogenization) increases.
