In pelitic schists composed mainly of quartz and albite grains, the morphology of intergranular pores, which were filled with water, was studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Although some pores are defined by crystallographic planes (F-face), most of their form has an ideal shape determined by interface tensions between grains and fluid. High-resolution TEM observations demonstrate that pore-free regions at grain boundaries are tight even at the nanometer scale, showing that the wetting angle is larger than 0° in this rock. The pore distribution in two-grain junctions can be compared to a "necklace microstructure" developed by instability of a fluid film along the boundary induced by microcracking. Wetting angles for pores located at grain edges of quartz and albite decrease in the order albite/albite, quartz/quartz, and quartz/albite. The quartz/quartz wetting angle in a calcite-free sample is smaller than that in a calcite-containing sample. This angle also changes due to grain misorientation. Our results confirm that solid-solid and solid-fluid interfacial energies control the geometry of intergranular fluid in natural rocks.  相似文献

Dihedral angles between two grains of quartz and one of pyrrhotite, sphalerite resp. hematite are measured at triple junctions. An approach to equilibrium is noted. The sulphides have dihedral angles greater than 120 ° and the oxide less than 120 °. No significant influence of sphalerite composition on dihedral angle can be proved. It is concluded that the average grain boundary energy between two grains of quartz is smaller than that between quartz and a sulphide but greater than that between quartz and hematite. Sulphide — biotite interfaces are found to be parallel to the biotite cleavage. Parallelism is concluded to meet a requirement of minimum grain boundary energy. Assuming random distribution of grains, the interfacial area between sulphides and transparent minerals is found to be too small in comparison with that between sulphides. The sulphide clustering, observed and inferred, is suggested to depend on a combination of grain boundary energy and epitaxial growth, but may to some extent be inherited from the ore-generation stage.  相似文献

The pore geometry of texturally equilibrated rocks is controlled by the interfacial energy ratio between grain boundaries and solid–liquid boundaries. Faceting at pore walls, which is a common feature of pore networks in rocks, strongly affects the liquid distribution. We investigated the effects of faceting on the equilibrium pore geometries based on image analysis of several systems with various degrees of faceting and dihedral angles. The degree of faceting was assessed by the F value, which is the ratio of the flat interface length at the pore wall to the length of total interfacial boundary between solid and liquid. The F values tend to increase with increasing liquid volume fraction. Little-faceted systems show relatively homogeneous liquid distribution. Moderately-faceted systems with a higher dihedral angle (∼55°) are characterized by development of large pores surrounded by faceted walls and complementary shrinkage of triple junction tubes, whereas strongly faceted systems with a low dihedral angle show no evidence of shrinking triple junction tubes, although most pores are surrounded by faceted pore walls. The faceted systems tend to produce more facet boundaries at the pore walls due to the difference of interfacial energies between the flat and curved surfaces. In the systems with the same degree of faceting, heterogeneity of liquid distribution tends to decrease with dihedral angle. For faceting systems, the permeability of texturally equilibrated rocks with low liquid fraction would be significantly decreased by the relative reduction of triple junction volumes or by closure of channels along grain edge due to the truncation of facet walls.  相似文献

The process of shape-transformation of quartz inclusions from polyhedral to spherical grains in albite single crystals during metamorphism is mainly controlled by the grain boundary diffusion of oxygen along the quartz/albite interface to reduce the interfacial free energy. The rate of the process, which is represented by the growth rate of the curvature of the edge surface of the grain, depends significantly on temperature and on the grain size of the quartz inclusion. The relations between temperature, T, the time, tr, and the critical radius, Rc, which is equal to the radius of maximum spherical grains, are given by log Rc = −0.11Eb/RT + 0.25log tr + C, in which Eb is the activation energy of the grain boundary diffusion of oxygen along the quartz/albite interface and C is a material constant.

The mean critical radius of spherical quartz inclusions in albite is 5 μm for the upper chlorite zone and garnet zone, 10 μm for the lower biotite zone, and 20 μm for the upper biotite zone in the Sambagawa metamorphic terrain. The mean values of the critical radii of spherical quartz inclusions in oligoclase of the Ryoke metamorphic rocks is about 5 μm for the chlorite zone and about 10–20 μm for the sillimanite zone.

Assuming temperatures of about 350°C for the upper chlorite and garnet zones, 400°C for the lower biotite zone, 550°C for the upper biotite zone, and 700°C for the sillimanite zone, the activation energy for the grain boundary diffusion of oxygen along the quartz/plagioclase interfase is estimated to be about 30 kcal/mol.  相似文献

Frequency distributions of true interfacial angles in high-grade,regional metamorphic rocks from Broken Hill indicate that interfacialtension varies with relative crystallographic orientation incommon minerals. In some single-phase aggregates (e.g. quartz,feldspar, garnet, and calcite) the grains are equant and polygonal,anisotropy of interfacial tension having only a small effecton the appearance of such aggregates. This is also true of two-phaseaggregates of these phases, but their appearance is complicatedby the presence of inclusions, the relative proportions of ihephases, and the characteristic dihedral angle formed by a grainof one phase in contact with two grains of the other. In phases for which interfacial tension is more orientation-dependent,crystal forms exert some control on the appearance of the microstructure.For example, in hornblende and pyroxene aggregates, some interfacesare parallel to planes of the form {110}, although most areirrational. In still more anisotropic phases, low-energy forms(e.g. {001} of biotite and {110} of sillimanite) are very stable,giving rise to a predominance of planar, rational boundariesover curved, adjustment boundaries. Anisotropy of interfacial tension is expressed in the shapesof inclusions. However, even where strongly anisotropic mineralsare involved, inclusions with partly planar boundaries occuralongside inclusions with completely curved boundaries.  相似文献

Grain boundaries influence many physical and chemical properties of crystalline materials. Here, we perform molecular dynamics simulations to study the structure of a series of [100] symmetric tilt grain boundaries in Mg2SiO4 forsterite. The present results show that grain boundary energies depend significantly on misorientation angle. For small misorientation angles (up to 22°), grain boundary structures consist of an array of partial edge dislocations with Burgers vector $\frac{1}{2}[001]$ associated with stacking faults and their energies can be readily fit with a model which adds the Peach-Koehler equation to the Read-Shockley dislocation model for grain boundaries. The core radius of partial dislocations and the spacing between the partials derived from grain boundary energies show that the transition from low- to high-angle grain boundaries occurs for a misorientation angle between 22° and 32°. For high misorientation angles (32.1° and 60.8°), the cores of dislocations overlap and form repeated structural units. Finally, we use a low energy atomic configuration obtained by molecular dynamics for the misorientation of 12.18° as input to simulate a high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) image. The simulated image is in good agreement with an observed HRTEM image, which indicates the power of the present approach to predict realistic atomic structures of grain boundaries in complex silicates.  相似文献

Olivine grain boundaries in deformed aggregates of olivine + basalt and partially molten lherzolite were analyzed with various electron microscopy techniques to test for the presence of thin (0.5-10 nm) intergranular melt films. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM) observations reveal that most of the boundaries do not contain a thin amorphous phase, although a small fraction of grains are separated by relatively thick (~1 µm) layers of melt. However, due to the anisotropy of the olivine-melt interfacial energy, melt often tapers from a triple junction into an adjoining grain boundary over a length of 1 to 2 µm, giving an effective dihedral angle of only ~2°. The chemistry of olivine-olivine grain boundaries was analyzed using energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) profiling by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) with a probe size of <1.5 nm. Ca, Al and Ti segregate to grain boundaries forming enriched regions of <7 nm width. Although these elements are concentrated in the glass phases, the presence of glass films with the same chemical composition as the bulk glass phases cannot explain concentrations of other elements such as Si and Al at the boundaries. Combined with the HREM results, the STEM/EDX profiling demonstrates the existence of chemical segregation between solid grains but the absence of thin, grain boundary melt films. Additionally, if melt films exist along all of the grain boundaries, as reported for similar samples by other groups, the rock should be substantially weakened. Creep experiments on the partially molten rocks analyzed in this study reveal little weakening at small melt contents, consistent with our observations of melt-free grain boundaries.  相似文献

In the contact aureole of the Lilesville granite and comagmatic Pee Dee gabbro, N.C., greenschist-facies phyllites of the Carolina slate belt have been overprinted by a series of metamorphic reactions producing opx-bearing hornfelses and migmatitic gneisses. In the exterior aureole the slate belt assemblage (chl+ms+ep+ab+qz) gives way to the continuous reaction assemblages (chl+bt+cd+ ms+ab±ep+qz), (bt+cd+ms+An8–29+qz), (bt+cd+ kf+ms+pl+qz), (bt+cd+als±ms+kf+pl+qz), and (bt+cd+ga+kf+pl+qz), from lowest to highest grade. The interior aureole, interpreted as part of the floor of the granite, bears the continuous and discontinuous reaction assemblages (bt+cd+als+kf+pl+qz),(bt+cd+kf+ pl+qz), and, near the gabbro, (bt+cd+ga+opx+kf+ pl+qz). The leucosomes of the migmatitic interior aureole are predominantly trondhjemites with the assemblage (An35–45+qz±bt±cd±kf). Restites in the migmatitic interior aureole contain the AFM assemblages (bt), (bt + cd), (bt+cd+als), and (bt+cd+ga), plus kf, An40–50, and qz. Contact metamorphism was isobaric at 4.0–5.1 or 2.0–3.5 kb depending on choice of aluminosilicate triple point; temperatures reached 650° C in the migmatitic interior aureole and approached 750° C near the gabbro; was less than 0.8 in the migmatites, and was lower in the interior aureole and in the high grade exterior aureole. Partial melting in the migmatitic interior aureole took place during dynamothermal metamorphism caused by the magmatic diapir. Incipient melting occurred by the reaction bt+cd+kf+pl+qz+w = liquid. The melt was H2O-undersaturated and coefficients of the reactants were weighted heavily toward the felsic minerals; the proportion of felsic minerals in the leucosomes was controlled in part by modal abundance of kf, pl, and qz available for melting. The incorporation of K into biotite by subsolidus reactions, coupled with the high thermal stability and low solubility of biotite in a felsic melt, are responsible for the trondhjemitic composition of the early anatectic liquids.Abbreviations als Al2SiO5 - ab albite - An8–29 plagioclase with anorthite contents in the range indicated - bt biotite - cd cordierite - chl chlorite - ep epidote - ga garnet - kf K feldspar - ms muscovite - opx orthopyroxene - pl plagioclase undefined - qz quartz - w water  相似文献

Twin formation in hematite during dehydration was investigated using X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). When synthetic goethite was heated at different temperatures between 100 and 800 °C, a phase transformation occurred at temperatures above 250 °C. The electron diffraction patterns showed that the single-crystalline goethite with a growth direction of [001]G was transformed into hematite with a growth direction of [100]H. Two non-equivalent structures emerged in hematite after dehydration, with twin boundaries at the interface between the two variants. As the temperature was increased, crystal growth occurred. At 800 °C, the majority of the twin boundaries disappeared; however, some hematite particles remained in the twinned variant. The electron diffraction patterns and high-resolution TEM observations indicated that the twin boundaries consisted of crystallographically equivalent prismatic (100) (010), and (1\(\bar{1}\)0) planes. According to the total energy calculations based on spin-polarized density functional theory, the twin boundary of prismatic (100) screw had small interfacial energy (0.24 J/m2). Owing to this low interfacial energy, the prismatic (100) screw interface remained after higher-temperature treatment at 800 °C.  相似文献

Shear and extensional veins formed during the reactivation of the Magdala shear system at Stawell in western Victoria, Australia, contribute to the formation of the auriferous Central and Basalt Contact lodes. Within this shear system is a range of fault rocks accompanied by steep-dipping (>65°) quartz-rich laminated shear veins and relatively flat-lying extensional veins. Both vein sets appear to have been a primary source for the host rock permeability during fluid flow in a regime of significant deviatoric stresses. The macro- and microstructures suggest that the dilatancy, that produced mineralized veins, formed under conditions of overpressure generated by fluid infiltration late in a tectonic regime. A new microfabric analysis technique is used to investigate the quartz-rich veins, which allows rapid integration of the microstructure with the crystallographic preferred orientations (CPOs). Both the shear and extensional quartz veins have a random CPO with ∼120° dihedral angles between the quartz–quartz grains, which is typical of a metamorphic equilibrium microfabric. The microstructures indicate that the quartz has undergone extensive grain adjustment in the solid-state, with grain shape and size affected by interfacial solution (pressure solution) effects. These features are consistent with inferences from experimental rock deformation studies, where grain boundary migration is enhanced in a water-rich environment. The onset of solution-transfer processes (pressure solution) developed as the quartz microfabric stabilized and continued to modify the CPO and microstructure significantly. It is concluded that grain growth and pressure solution are coupled diffusive mass transfer processes, related to fluctuations in pore fluid pressures in a region undergoing deformation at near lithostatic pressures.  相似文献

Abstract The paragenetic relations of epidote-glaucophane schists are described in terms of the system Al2O3-Fe2O3-Fe2O3-MgO-CaO with excess of quartz, albite and epidote. If alkali-amphibole is free from Ca and AlIV, its composition when associated with epidote is invariant, univariant or divariant at a given pressure and temperature on Miyashiro's (1957) diagram of alkali-amphibole solid solution if it is also associated, respectively, with three, two or one additional minerals in the system.
Using a group of epidote-glaucophane schists from the Kotu area of the Sanbagawa metamor-phic belt in Shlkoku, Japan (isophysical compositional),univariant boundary lines were determined for the assemblages that, in addition to the ubiquitous quartz + albite + phengitic mica, contain hematite + chlorite, garnet + chlorite and actinolite + chlorite, respectively. The slopes of the univariant boundary lines obtained from petrographical data are in good agreement with those calculated in a model system.
The positions of isophysical univariant boundary lines on the amphibole compositional diagram serve to distinguish the grade of metamorphism among the rocks of the same mineral facies. The hematite-chlorite univariant boundary line can be used to divide the zone of epidote-glaucophane schists of the Sanbagawa metamorphic belt into three, and the garnet-chlorite-paragonite invariant equilibrium can be used to divide the epidote zone of New Caledonia into three.  相似文献

The transition from feldspar amphibolite to eclogite is a very wide P-T field that extends from some-where close to 5 kbar where the garnet-amphibole pair starts to appear, to 10–20 kbar at albite-out reaction, then up to 25–30 kbar where an hydrated phase such as amphibole can be stable with pyroxene and garnet. Thus the assemblage garnet (py)+ amphibole (tr)+epidote (cz)±plagioclase (ab)±clinopyroxene (di)±quartz (qz)±fluid is commonly reported in a large number of metamorphic terrains. These mineral phases are complex solid-solutions which adapt to variations in environmental conditions mainly by means of continuous reactions. The reaction space, introduced by. Thompson in 1982a, provides a very elegant and powerful tool to approach these high-variance assemblages. The reactions:

Cu–Mo mineralization occurs in southern part of the Chatree Au–Ag deposit, central Thailand. Quartz veins of Cu–Mo mineralization are divided into five types: Types A, B, C, D and E. Quartz veins of Types A, B and C are hosted in altered granodiorite porphyry, and quartz veins of Types D and E occur in altered andesite lava. Mineral assemblages of Types A, B and C quartz veins are composed of qz–chl–ilt–mol–py–ccp, qz–chl–ilt–ccp–py and qz–chl–ilt–ccp–py–sp–po, respectively. Types D and E quartz veins consist of qz–chl–py–ccp–sp–po and qz–ep, respectively. Fluid inclusions of quartz veins are divided into liquid‐rich two‐phases fluid inclusion, vapor‐rich two‐phases fluid inclusion and multiphase solid‐bearing fluid inclusion. Coexistence of a halite‐bearing fluid inclusion having salinity of 37 equiv. wt.% NaCl and a vapor‐rich two‐phases fluid inclusion having salinity of 1 equiv. wt.% NaCl suggests that the Cu–Mo‐bearing quartz veins were formed at temperature of 450°C and pressure of 250 bars (depth of approximately 1.5 km from the paleosurface). Based on the formation temperature of 450°C of quartz veins and the δ18O values of quartz of the quartz veins, the δ18O value of fluid responsible for the Cu–Mo‐bearing quartz vein is estimated to be +9.9‰. The origin of fluid forming the Cu–Mo‐bearing quartz veins in the N prospect of the Chatree mining area would be magmatic water. Based on the characteristics of geology, age, mineral assemblage and the formation environment, Cu–Mo mineralization would be different from the epithermal Au–Ag mineralization of the Chatree mining area.  相似文献

The shape, pattern and crystallographic orientation of grain boundaries represent important characteristics of crystalline material and contain information about its deformation and annealing history. The present study includes measurements of grain boundaries from experimentally annealed analogue material as well as natural foam texture of quartz and plagioclase. The main subject is the relation between the development of a foam texture and the crystallographic orientation of its grain boundaries and their geometry. (1) During annealing, grain sizes stabilize at certain values. On a statistical basis, these values can be applied as a geothermometer. (2) On the light-microscope scale, the grain boundaries in foam textures commonly consist of two or several planar facets. They are preferentially oriented along specific crystallographic planes, namely in relation to both neighbouring crystals; for quartz they tend to be rhombohedral. (3) Even highly misoriented facets and dihedral angles largely deviating from the 'equilibrium angle' of 120° may be stable over long periods of annealing. (4) Parts of single boundaries may migrate, whereas other parts are stationary during annealing. The results of the present study suggest that the anisotropy of surface energy has a considerable influence on the development of foam textures and that modelling of texture development should include the influence of the crystallographic orientation of grain boundaries.  相似文献

Mineral assemblages in pegmatite samples from Kolsva, Swedenand Marikov, Czechoslovakia show that chrysoberyl is alwaysaccompanied by quartz, and is a breakdown product of primarypegmatitic beryl. Textures and the mineral-forming process forthe Kolsva pegmatite are explained by the reactions beryl +K-feldspar + H+ = chrysoberyl + quartz + SiO2, aq + K+ + H2Oor alternatively beryl —K—feldspar + H2O = chrysoberyl+ quartz + melt. Mineral assemblages from mica-rich parts ofthe pegmatite include sillimanite—K—feldspar, muscovite—K—feldspar—sillimanite,and annite—magnetite—spinel—sillimanite—garnet.Details about the composition and the textural relationshipsof these minerals are given; they indicate a post-pegmatiticmetamorphic event at P—T conditions near to the anatecticregime. The samples from Marikov show textures, which are explainedby the reactions beryl + albite + H+ = chrysoberyl + quartz+ Na+ + H2O or alternatively beryl + albite + H2O = chrysoberyl+ quartz + melt. Breakdown of muscovite produces sillimaniteaccording to the reactions beryl + albite + muscovite + H+ =chrysoberyl + quartz + sillimanite + Na+ + K+ + H2O or alternativelyberyl + albite + muscovite + H2O = chrysoberyl + quartz + sillimanite+ melt. Similar reaction textures and mineral assemblages were foundin other chrysoberyl-bearing pegmatites (Maroankora, Madagascar;Helsinki, Finland; Haddam, Greenfield, Greenwood, U.S.A.). Hydrothermal experiments located the reaction beryl + alkalifeldspar + H2O = chrysoberyl + phenakite + melt at P—Tconditions between the K—feldspar—quartz—H2Osolidus and the K—feldspar—albite—quartz-H2Osolidus. It is concluded that the formation of Al-rich minerals likechrysoberyl and sillimanite in pegmatites is due to a post-pegmatiticevent at high P—T conditions. The question as to whichof the alternative set of reactions is more likely, the ionicequilibria or the anatectic chrysoberyl formation, must be leftopen. The previous hypothesis of a desilification of a pegmatitewhich intruded into SiO2-poor country rocks, or of the assimilationof Al2O3-rich country rocks, cannot explain the mineral assemblagesof the two pegmatites.  相似文献

The texture, distribution, and infiltration tendency of a quartz-albite melt in equilibrium with a synthetic, texturally-equilibrated quartzite was examined in a series of distribution and infiltration experiments at 1,250° C and 8 kbar hydrostatic pressure. Wetting angle measurements from melt distribution experiments show a dihedral angle () of 60 degrees, implying a quartz/quartz interfacial energy approximately 1.7 times the quartz/melt value. Because of this specific relationship between interfacial energies, the system can achieve its lowest surface free energy state with the melt either in pools or along grain edge intersections, possibly forming some interconnected channels. Stability of melt in pockets and along grain edge intersections was observed in a fourteen-day, dispersed-melt experiment, yet melt pools failed to disperse into the quartzite during infiltration experiments. Comparison of the observed dihedral angle with previously measured surface energy values for the melt and quartz shows excellent agreement, and also demonstrates that an aggregate of randomly orientated anisotropic grains acts approximately isotropically.While these experiments are not strictly applicable to real crustal systems, they do indicate that, at least in some felsic systems, the melt has no preference for uniform grainedge wetting relative to collection at grain corners or in large pools. This ambivalent behavior is attributable to the 60-degree wetting angle, which has been shown to separate systems in which melt tends to disperse in interconnected channels (<60°) from those in which melt tends to become isolated at grain corners (> 60°).  相似文献

An investigation was made of the effect of trace amounts of feldspar (Na and/or K) on dihedral angles in the quartz-H2O-CO2 system at 4 kbar and 450–1050°C. Quartz-quartz-H2O dihedral angles in feldspar-bearing quartz aggregates are observed to be the same as those in pure quartz aggregates at temperatures below 500°C. Above this temperature, they decrease with increasing temperature until the solidus. The final angle at the inception of melting is about 65° for microcline-quartz-H2O and microcline-albite-quartz-H2O, and much less than 60° (the critical value for formation of grain-edge fluid channels in an isotropic system) for the albite-quartz-H2O system. CO2 was observed to produce a constant quartz-quartz-fluid dihedral angle of 97° in feldspar-bearing quartz aggregates at all temperatures studied. Also examined were the dihedral angles for the two co-existing supersolidus fluids in quartz aggregates. In all systems the quartz-volatile fluid angle is greater than 60°, whereas the quartz-melt angle is lower than 60°. Both super-solidus angles decrease with increasing temperature. The transition from nonconnected to connected poro- sity with increasing temperature observed in the quartz-albite-H2O system some tens of degrees below the solidus (termed a permeability transition), if a common feature of rocks near their melting points, will play an important role in controlling the permeability of high-grade rocks to aqueous fluids.

In the aureole of the Beinn an Dubhaich granite, Skye, the minimum observed median forsterite-calcite-calcite dihedral angle varies from 110° at the olivinein isograd to about 165° (the equilibrium value) at the granite-limestone contact. Laboratory experiments were performed to investigate the kinetics of this textural change. It was found that the rate of change of the forsterite-calcite-calcite dihedral angle followed approximately first-order kinetics with an activation energy of 48±4 kJ mol-1 for fluid-present conditions, and 90 ±4 kJ mol-1 for fluid-absent conditions. Scanning ion imaging demonstrated that, at least in the early stages of textural change, solution-reprecipitation of the calcite was the rate determining step in the fluid-present runs. The latter result and the value of the activation energy are both consistent with the activation energy found by previous authors for (albeit zeroth order) silicate-aqueous solution solution-reprecipitation reactions. The value of activation energy for the dry data does not correspond to those for either grain boundary or volume diffusion of oxygen or magnesium in forsterite. The mechanism for textural equilibration in the fluid-absent runs is uncertain. Application of the experimentally-derived rate equation to the Beinn an Dubhaich marbles gave activation energies higher than those obtained experimentally. It is concluded from consideration of grain growth effects that activation energies derived from the Beinn an Dubhaich marbles probably reflect textural equilibration under predominantly fluid-absent conditions.  相似文献

 Olivine grain boundaries and phase boundaries in xenoliths from San Carlos have been investigated by high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HREM) and analytical electron microscopy (AEM). Thin amorphous intergranular layers with variable width (1–2 nm) were detected along olivine grain boundaries. The Al2O3, TiO2 and CaO concentrations of the amorphous layers increase with increasing width of the layer. The composition of the amorphous intergranular layers depends on the interface type – grain or phase boundary. Morphology, amorphous state and chemical composition of the intergranular layer suggest the presence of a melt film at olivine grain boundaries. Since the composition of the amorphous phase strongly depends on the type of interface, the melt must have been generated at the grain boundary. Also, the melt chemistry is different from the composition of partial melts produced from possible hydrous phases, such as phlogopite or amphibole, and from the host basanite. The mobility of very thin melt films is assumed to be very limited due to the strong interface forces between the melt and the grain boundary. It is concluded that grain boundary melting occurred at the interfaces due to decompression during uplift. The melt wetted olivine grain boundaries as well as olivine-opx phase boundaries. The thin amorphous layers formed melt microsystems. Mixing of melts from different microsystems is suggested to occur in wider melt films, melt veins or melt pockets thus creating a magmatic melt that could be extracted from its source.
