ABSTRACT
Ahmadabad Pb-Zn ore deposit is located in the mineral area of Bahabad in
Central Iran Zone. This ore deposit like other metallogenic areas in Bahabad
is found in Triassic carbonate rocks. Carbonate rocks in Shotori formation
have the highest frequency in the regional sequence stratigraphy. This formation
is composed of TRSh1, TRSh2, TRSh3 and TRSh4 units. The TRSh3 unit
hosts minerals in ore deposit Ahmadabad. Microcrystalline particles are the
main constituent of these rocks. The most important minerals in this ore deposit
include calamine Celestine, Cerussite and Wulfenite. The comparison of
normalized ore patterns and carbonate sequence indicates that they have a
specified genetic relationship. Here the TRSh2 unit is more similar to minerals.
