Abstract
Intrusions between Arak and Borujerd in northern Sanandaj Sirjan zone are present different field and lithology. Three different groups: (a) the Astaneh intrusion, (b) the Borujerd complex, and (c), Tavandasht-Gosheh intrusions can be identified. First attempt to date these intrusions began with K-Ar method and obtained ages were about 60Ma based on studies on Alvand in Hamadan. Further Rb-Sr dating, published older ages and revealed two phases 60Ma and -120Ma for Borujerd complex and 100Ma for Astaneh intrusion. Following dating based on zircon, established the age of 170Ma for all unites. In order to cover gaps in data, we have undertaken MS U-Pb zircon geochronological studies for selected granitoids. Results confirm the presence of granitoids with 170Ma in Astaneh and Borujerd complex. But, for first time, the young age of 34.8Ma initiated for Tavandasht intrusions. It could be concluded that emplacements of plutons in this part of Sanandaj Sirjan began in Mid Jurassic (Bathonian stage) and last phase was on Late Eocene (Priabonian stage). However, based on the presence of field and geochemical differences between intrusions, more study needs to find the interval phases. Emplacement of these intrusions are related to calk alkaline subduction of Arabian plate with Central Iran plate, and obtained data, could assist on timing of offered tectonomagmatic models.

Abstract
Gabbroic stocks and dykes associated with Ophiolitic Basalts and peridotites are outcropped in the Sawlava town area. Sawlava ophiolite is part of Kurdistan Ophiolitic complex that located in sheared zone between high Zagros and northern Sanandaj-sirjan Zone. This study focused geochemistry and dating of granular and pegmatoid gabbros that due to closing to main recent fault (MRF) some part of them found milonitic fabric. Gabbros have 47.84 to 51.65 percent SiO2 and almost formed from tholeiitic magma. Labradorite plagioclase and diopside and augite clinopyroxens with Mg# of 83.90 to 88.90 respectivly are main minerals of gabbros. Based on geochemical and geotectonic diagrams, gabbros generated from slightly deplete magma which formed in back arc supra-subduction zone. U-Pb dating of zircons presents an average age of 38.3±1.3 Ma for gabbros. Late Eocene age from Sawlava gabbros and similar gabbros bodies related to ophiolites along Zagros suture, could indicate that neo-tethyan ocean closed after Eocene in the Kurdistan region.
