Abstract : The Kermanshah ophiolite, a part of outer ophiolites of Zagrosbelt, located in the high Zagros zone (Zagros Thrust), trending NW - SE, stretching 230 km in length and 30-60 km in width, west of Iran is a part of the Neo-Tethys oceanic crust, that was obducted on the margin of the Iranian Plate. The peridotites of the ophiolite in Noorabad area include dunites, harzburgites and lherzolites, which are depleted in incompatible elements along with a negative slope of incompatible light elements to 'high field strength elements' (HFSE). These rocks in normalized chondrite show depletion in REE with a negative slope of HFSE to 'large ion lithophile elements' (LILE). The melting percentage in studied peridotites indicates a high fo than MORB, which indicates that the peridotites of this 2 region are related to the peridotites of the Supra Subduction Zone (SSZ) in the Neo-Tethys Ocean.
Key words : Kermanshah ophiolite, Zagrosbelt, Peridotites, Supra Subduction Zone.

Abstract : The Jahrom Formation has been studied in terms of facies analysis and reconstruction of the ancient environment in the stratigraphic section of Kuhsokhteh and located in south west of Shahrekord. This formation is 157 m in thick, and composed of the succession of limestones, marls and inter bedded of dolomites. Based on field studies and lithological characters, about 9 sedimentary rock units have been identified and introduced. On the other hand, based on microscopic studies, 8 facies including mudstone, dolostone/ dolomitic limestone, Interaclastic wackestone, Miliolid - pellet wackestone, orbitolites- Miliolid - pellet wackestone, bioclastic grainstone, hyaline- procellaneous foraminifera wake stone and hyaline foraminifera wakestone have been introduced. The diversity of variety of foraminiferal fauna and texture evidences suggests that these microfacies are expanded from coastal environment to shallow platforms (fore shoal) and deposited in a carbonate ramp from inner to middle carbonate ramp.
Key words : Microfacies, Ancient sedimentary environment, Kuhsokhteh, High Zagros, West Iran.

Abstract : Corundum mineralization along with granitoid mass in pegmatitic rocks is located in south of Hamadan (west of Iran) and in the igneous and metamorphic zone of Sanandaj-Sirjan. Corundum crystals within these pegmatites are up to three centimeters long. Most of them are in the form of zinolite, and the margin of these crystals is surrounded by grained mica. These corundums have two types of irregular plates (parting). The results of chemical analysis using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) shows that O, C, Fe, Ti, Si, Ca, K, Cl and Alare the main elements forming the studied corundums and their blue color is due to the presence of iron and titanium. The presence of high amounts of silica in these samples could indicate the formation of these corundums from mineralized kyanite due to the increase in pressure and temperature during the Metamorphism.
Key words : Hamadan, Pegmatites, Corundum, Metamorphism, SEM.

Abstract : Zagros ophiolite belt in Iran, is a part of the Eastern Mediterranean belt ophiolite. This belt is divided into two groups: outer and inner Zagros ophiolites that ophiolites around central Iran are inner belt ophiolites and outer ophiolites include the Kermanshah, Neyriz and Hajiabad ophiolites. The Noorabad ophiolite is part of Kermanshah ophiolites. The rocks of this ophiolite are including peridotite, serpentinite, pegmatite gabbro, layered gabbro, isotropic gabbro, sheeted dike complexes, pillow basalts, andesite lavas and sedimentary rocks (radiolarite and late Cretaceous pelagic limestone). Based on geochemical studies the rocks of this ophiolitic complex have tholeiite and calcalalkine magmas signatures and formation in Suprasubduction zone environment. The Noorabad ophiolite represents the Neo- Tethyan oceanic lithosphere which originally existed between the Arabian-Iranian bloks that in Miocene emplaced.
Key words: Zagros, Noorabad ophiolite, Suprasubductionzone, Neo- Tethyan ocean.

Abstract :
The traditional fishing festival (Maun Mela) is an annual community tradition of Gharwal
region of Uttarakhand, was started around a century back by the ruler of Tehri, Raja
Sudarshan Shah, during the pre- Independence era. In Maun mela, thousands of villagers
from Jaunpur (Tehri) and Jaunpur-Bhabar (Dehradun) area, participate and gathering at
Aglar River valley where they celebrate the fishing festival. Peoples prepare "Maun Powder"
using the stem bark, leaves, and seed of the "Timru" plant (Zanthoxylum armatum) and pour
into the river during the festival. The powder of this plant paralyses the fishes and has
easy to its catching during the fishing.
Key words: Maun mela, Timur powder, Biodiversity, Fish killing, and Conservation.
