  ABSTRACT: Dikes in the north of Saveh are located in a region with an area of approximately 200 square kilometers, in a distance of approximately 100 kilometers south of Tehran. Dikes mentioned in terms of petrological composition, are divided into two categories: alkaline and intermediate to acidic. Alkaline dikes include: andesitic basalt and andesite and intermediate to acidic dikes include: trachyte and trachyandesite. In terms of geochemical, dikes in the north of Saveh have a dual nature of alkaline and calc-alkaline. Both groups are derived from more enrichment source than primitive mantle. Despite similarity of pattern of both groups, varieties of alkaline having less silica, in the elements Sr, Ti, Nb and Ta show more enrichment and in the elements Hf, Rb, Th, K show less enrichment than varieties of calc-alkaline.
