Abstract :
Aqdarreh intrusi body with an area of 30 km 2 is located in 34 km north of Takab, northwest of Iran. This batholith is situated in Central Iran, cutting Paleozoic rocks. Radiometric age of Aqdarreh batholith by K-Ar method is 4838 m. a., corresponding to Eocene magmatism.
Aqdarreh intrusive body consists of tonalite, granodiorite, alkali feldspar granite and monzogranite in which the main mafic mineral is biotite. Further more, there is not any enclave in these rocks.
Study of the investigated samples shows that Aqdarreh intrusive rocks have two different generations. Part of the collected samples belongs to I-type granite (calc-alkaline) and others represent the A-type granite (alkaline). It seems that this process is created by the contaminaton of alkaline magma by crustal materials.
Geochemistry of the rare earth elements shows that the tectonic setting of the body is compatible with Post Orogenic Granitoids (POG).
