南太行山地区中基性侵入岩中角闪石的矿物学及其成因 总被引：6，自引：3，他引：3
角闪石作为南太行山地区中基性侵入岩中主要组成矿物,其详细的成因矿物学研究对了解该套岩石的形成机理具有重要意义。电子探针分析表明角闪石的成分变化很大如SiⅣ、AlⅣ和A位置上的Na和K离子,主要为韭闪石、韭闪石质普通角闪石、普通角闪石和阳起石质普通角闪石。且富镁和钙,为钙镁质角闪石。同时,不同岩石类型中的角闪石的组成无显著差异。大颗粒的核心部位形成于深部岩浆房中(18 ~25km),其组成的连续变化主要反映结晶深度的不同。角闪石的成因矿物学研究表明该套岩石不可能来源于华北古老的下地壳,而可能起源于新增生的下地壳和/或壳幔过渡带。 相似文献

Chemial analyses of twelve amphiboles from the area around Terakanambi are presented. Results indicate that they are ferro-hornblende
and ferro-pargasitic hornblende types in banded iron formations; magnesio hornblende in ultramafic rocks and edenite; and
ferroan pargasite and ferroan pargasitic hornblende types in calcamphibolites. Titanium content in the amphiboles of the present
study is relatively low compared to results from similar zones elsewhere. The lower titanium content of the amphiboles may
be attributed to either bulk chemical composition or to low oxygen fugacity. Mg/Fe ratios vary considerably and it is mainly
controlled by host rock composition. The plots of calcic amphiboles on (lOONa/Ca + Na)/(100 Al/Si + Al) and Aliv/Alvi diagrams indicate that they are of medium to low pressure type. 相似文献

The Wadi Dabr intrusive complex, west of Mersa-Alam, Eastern Desert, Egypt ranges in composition from gabbro to diorite, quartz diorite and tonalite. The gabbroic rocks include pyroxene-horn blend e gabbro, hornblende gabbro, quartz-hornblende gabbro, metagabbro and amphibolite. Mineral chemistry data for the gabbroic rocks indicate that the composition of clinopyroxenes ranges from diopside to augite and the corresponding magma is equivalent to a volcanic-arc basalt. Plagioclase cores range from An75 to An34 for the gabbroic varieties, except for the metagabbro which has An 11–18. The brown amphiboles are primary phases and classified as calcic amphiboles, which range from tschermakitic hornblende to magnesiohornblende. Green hornblende and actinolite are secondary phases. Hornblende barometry and hornblende-plagioclase themometry for the gabbroic rocks estimate crystallisation conditions of 2–5 kb and 885–716°C.The intrusive rocks cover an extensive silica range (47.86–72.54 wt%) and do not exhibit simple straight-line variation on Harker diagrams for many elements (e.g. TiO2, Al2O3, FeO*, MgP, CaO, P2O5, Cr, Ni, V, Sr, Zr and Y). Most of these elements exhibit two geochemical trends suggesting two magma sources.The gabbroic rocks are relatively enriched in large ion lithophile elements (K, Rb, Sr and Ba) and depleted in high field strength elements (Nb, Zr, Ti and Y) which suggest subduction-related magma. Rare earth element (REE) data demonstrate that the gabbroic rocks have a slight enrichment of light REE [(La/Yb)N=2.67−3.91] and depletion of heavy REE ((Tb/Yb)N=1.42−1.47], which suggest the parent magma was of relatively primitive mantle source.The diorites and tonalites are clearly calc-alkaline and have negative anomalies of Nb, Zr, and Y which also suggest subduction-related magma. They are related to continental trondhjemites in terms of Rb---Sr, K---Na---Ca, and to volcanic-arc granites in terms of Rb---and Nb---Y.The Wadi Dabr intrusive complex is analogous to intrusions emplaced in immature ensimatic island-arcs and represents a mixture of mantle (gabbroic rocks) and crustal fusion products (diorites and tonalites) modified by fractional processes. 相似文献

Many Neo-Tethyan ophiolitic bodies are well exposed as thrust-slices in Central Anatolia and are predominantly represented by massive hornblende gabbros, most of which are cut by Supra Subduction Zone (SSZ) plagiogranites. The allochthonous gabbros are distinct from their autochthonous counterparts, with their mineralogy including both igneous hornblende, relict diopside rimmed by replacement hornblende and their chemical composition corresponding mostly to gabbro rather than diorite.The results of major and trace element analyses of forty-two samples, and REE analyses of nine samples, indicate that the hornblende gabbros are SSZ-type and formed from a wet magma by high-degree partial melting of peridotite possibly coupled with contamination by predominantly neighbouring-slab derived fluids within an intra-oceanic back-arc basin. The mafic magmas then underwent high-level fractional crystallization involving titaniferous magnetite, diopside, tschermakite and possibly olivine. Emplacement was followed by extensive ocean–floor metamorphism, which has induced crystallization (or recrystallization) of chlorite, biotite, amphiboles and mobilisation of most of the major elements such as alkali and alkali earth elements, and some LREE. 相似文献

Gabbros have been dredged from Gettysburg Bank, 110 km west of Portugal on the Azores/Gibraltar fracture zone. Primary minerals in olivine, pyroxene and brown hornblende gabbros are partially replaced by metamorphic minerals. Igneous textures are inhomogeneously overprinted by a granular polyhedral deformation and a cataclastic deformation. Amphiboles show characteristics which indicate a transition from crystallisation in a magma chamber to formation of amphibole in solid gabbro under metasomatic conditions. Of the amphiboles analysed, chlorine was present in the green amphiboles but below 0.05% in the brown suggesting the penetration of sea water after the formation of the brown amphibole but during the formation of the green. 相似文献

The migmatitic rocks exposed in Hafafit and Feiran areas exhibit some migmatitic structures as the banded, agmatic, boudinage and schlieren structures. The dominant type of these structures is the stromatic migmatites. Electron microprobe analyses of plagioclases, biotites and amphiboles from Hafafit and Feiran areas, in the Eastern Desert and Sinai, Egypt, are carried out and the metamorphic conditions are discussed. The present study revealed marked differences in the composition of plagioclases, biotites and amphiboles from Hafafit and Feiran localities. The obtained data indicated that plagioclases of the Feiran migmatites are of andesine and oligoclase composition, and display anorthite content from An20 to An38; whereas the Hafafit migmatites show a wider range of plagioclases from An10 to An60, and therefore plagioclases have labradorite, andesine and oligoclase composition. This may be due to the slow rate of the crystallisation processes. The analyses indicated that biotites of the studied areas are of metamorphic origin showing significant variation in Fe–Mg. It is worth mentioning that biotites from Hafafit migmatites have Mg–biotite composition while that of Feiram migmatites have Fe–biotite composition. High Mg and low Fe contents in biotite suggest higher crystallisation temperature. The composition of amphiboles in Hafafit migmatites is ferro-tschermakitic hornblende, while amphiboles from Feiram migmatites are magnesio-hornblende. High Ti content in the hornblende of Feiran migmatites suggests that they were formed at slightly higher temperatures and lower pressure than the Hafafit migmatites (i.e. Feiram migmatites and Hafafit migmatites were formed at granulite and amphibolite facies, respectively). Discrimination diagrams show that the muscovite is of secondary origin. Moreover, the present study confirmed that these migmatites are mainly formed by metamorphic differentiation via partial melting. 相似文献

徐州-宿州地区中生代闪长质岩石中存在丰富的榴辉岩类捕虏体。对该类捕虏体的岩相学和矿物化学研究表明,其中的角闪石具有4种产状：1）位于石榴石中的早期角闪石包裹体,为镁质普通角闪石;2）与榴辉岩中矿物平衡存在的原生角闪石,为韭闪石或韭闪石质普通角闪石;3）位于石榴石和单斜辉石周边的退变角闪石,主要为浅闪石质和阳起石质普通角闪石;4）沿单斜辉石解理分布的出溶角闪石,主要为浅闪石、浅闪石质角闪石和含亚铁韭闪石质普通角闪石。不同产状角闪石矿物化学成分的差异和温压估算结果显示,榴辉岩类捕虏体经历了一个顺时针的P—T演化轨迹,进而反映了中生代早期华北克拉通东部造山作用的存在。 相似文献

石人嶂钨矿区发育的角闪辉长岩与钨矿密切共生,研究该矿区对认识粤北地区区域地质演化、深部岩浆信息以及区域基性岩与成钨作用关系研究意义重大,但到目前为止,尚未开展相关系统的研究。文章报道了角闪辉长岩的锆石和磷灰石U-Pb年代学、地球化学资料。磷灰石U-Pb年龄指示角闪辉长岩的结晶年龄为（171±14） Ma,形成于燕山早期晚阶段古太平洋板块俯冲背景下的岩石圈伸展的构造环境,其中,锆石为捕获锆石,具有3组年龄,分别记录了区域古元古代陆核增生,新元古代古华南板块的聚合和裂解,早中生代华南板块与华北板块,印支地块聚合的后造山伸展等多起构造事件。角闪辉长岩具有低Si、K、Mn,高Ca、Fe、Mg、Na、Ti的特征,富集Rb、Ta、Zr、Ti等,亏损Ba、Nb、Sr、Hf、Be、Cs、U、Th等元素,表明其源区具有E-MORB型富集地幔的属性。角闪辉长岩的形成主要受控于软流圈地幔的部分熔融。同时,由于角闪辉长岩的高氧逸度的特征及其较石人嶂钨矿成矿更早,角闪辉长岩的存在可能主要是为后期的钨矿化的叠加提供部分Ca、Fe等元素,并为富矿流体的运移提供通道。 相似文献

Gabbroic intrusions of the El-Aradiya area are a part of the Neoproterozoic basement cropping out in the central Eastern Desert of Egypt. They are composed mainly of gabbroic cumulates (diopside-plagioclase cumulate and plagioclase-augite cumulate) and fine-grained noncumulate gabbro. Mineral chemistry data indicate that the plagioclase core compositions of the gabbroic cumulates range between An90 and An60, whereas fine-grained noncumulate gabbro plagioclase core compositions are An61−56 and rim compositions are An54−42. The clinopyroxenes are diopside and augite in the gabbroic cumulate, and augite in the fine-grained noncumulate gabbro. Chemical re-equilibration between pyroxenes of gabbroic cumulates vary from 1150-900°C and for fine-grained noncumulate gabbro range from 1200-1100°C. The amphiboles are calcic, varying from tschermakite and tschermakitic hornblende, and Mg-hornblende in the gabbroic cumulate and only Mg-hornblende in the fine-grained noncumulate gabbro. They indicate an island-arc tholeiitic setting for gabbroic intrusions of the El-Aradiya area. Major and trace element data suggest arc tholeiite characters, a comagmatic suite and subduction-related magma with enrichment of LILE and depletion in HFSE relative to MORB. The estimated parent magma is similar to tholeiitic Aleutian arc primary magma. The gabbroic intrusions are analogous to intrusions emplaced in an immature island-arc setting in which the oceanic crust was thin. 相似文献

The Garland Peak Syenite (GPS) of the Red Hill complex, New Hampshire, consists predominantly of amphibole, oligoclase, perthite, and quartz; amphiboles have homogeneous kaersutite cores with strongly zoned rims ranging in composition from pargasite to hastingsite to hornblende. The thin section scale association of kaersutite, an amphibole that typically crystallizes in silica-undersaturated magmas, with quartz suggests that the GPS magma experienced substanital changes in magmatic composition, including silica activity, during its crystallization history. Kaersutite-bearing camptonites are also associated with the Red Hill complex. The camptonite amphiboles are very similar in composition to the core kaersutites in the GPS, suggesting that the earliest GPS liquid may have had camptonitic affinities. In order to elucidate the process where-by silica-undersaturated magmas differentiate to saturation, amphiboles in these rocks were analyzed by electron and ion microprobe techniques. Amphiboles show a progressive increase in REE abundances from the camptonites to the GPS kaersutite cores to the GPS pargasite/hastingsite/hornblende rims. The systematic change in REE concentrations, and the variations in V, Ti, Sr versus Zr, Eu/Eu0 and La/Yb versus Ce, suggest a possible differentiation relationship for the amphiboles and imply that the GPS was derived from magmas similar to camptonites. Rimward depletions in Sr, Ti, V, and Eu/Eu0, and the increase in La/Yb values suggest that parental camptonites fractionated plagioclase, magnetite, and amphibole to produce the silica-oversaturated GPS. Bulk-rock modelling agrees with the trace element record preserved in the amphiboles, that plagioclase, magnetite, and amphibole fractionation caused silica saturation. Minor pegmatitic patches occur in the GPS. Ferrohornblendes in the pegmatites have REE abundances distinct from the other GPS amphiboles, and this difference may be due to open system processes. 相似文献

A section across the Haast Schist Group in the Southern Alps of New Zealand shows a sequence of metamorphosed eugeosynclinal sediments. Meta-basic rocks (greenschists) have been studied to determine the nature of the actinolite-hornblende transition and to investigate the change in amphibole composition through the Metamorphic Facies Series.Electron microprobe analyses of 21 representative amphiboles, including 3 amphibole pairs can be shown to support theories of a miscibility break in the calciferous amphibole solid solution series. The existence of a miscibility break is further supported by the widespread appearance, even at low metamorphic grades, of exsolution lamellae in actinolite and hornblende amphiboles.Amphibolite facies amphiboles differ from greenschist facies amphiboles in that (a) there are increased amounts of Ti entering the lattice and (b) that there is an increased occupancy of the A site at higher metamorphic grades. 相似文献

Brown hornblende occurs in minor amounts in the Artfjället gabbro and dolerites, except in quartz-dolerites where a pale green hornblende occurs. In the gabbro, brown hornblende is mostly Ti-bearing pargasite or kaersutite. It occurs along veins of orthopyroxene, as rims around and blebs in pyroxenes, with orthopyroxene in coronas between olivine and plagioclase and in coronas between ilmenite and plagioclase. In the olivine-dolerites and orthopyroxene-dolerites brown hornblende is ferroan titanian pargasite or ferroan kaersutite. The pale green hornblende in the quartz-dolerites is a magnesio-hornblende. The hornblendes in the dolerites are interstitial or granular, in some dolerites occurring as coarse oikocrysts. It is proposed that under certain conditions the Ti content of hornblende can be used as a thermometer, derived from experimental data of Helz (1973). Microstructures, compositions and formation temperatures (< 1,040° C) show that the brown hornblende in the gabbro is not magmatic, but of subsolidus origin. Probably it formed as a result of the introduction of water into the gabbro during a deformation event that occurred early in the cooling history of the gabbro. Least-squares modelling of hornblende formation indicates that all magmatic minerals must have participated in the reaction and that the reaction probably was not isochemical. Microstructures, compositions and formation temperatures (1,030-965° C) of brown hornblende in the dolerites are consistent with late-stage crystallization from the magma. For the pale green hornblende in the quartz-dolerites a magmatic origin is likely, but cannot be proven. 相似文献

Textural and chemical relationships in the Ca-amphibole serieshave been examined in progressively metamorphosed mafic schistfrom the Povungnituk Group, northern Qubec. In the hornblendezone, coexisting actinolite and hornblende are characterizedby sharp optical and chemical boundaries. They also displayan epitaxial intergrowth texture, consistent with contemporaneouscrystallization and the presence of a miscibility gap (solvus)between actinolite and hornblende. At higher grade, in the oligoclasezone, actinolite is always rimmed by hornblende. Across theoligoclase isograd, the compositional break between actinoliteand hornblende remains relatively constant in width (6–10wt.% Al2O3). Accordingly, the concentric texture and the lackof chemical gradients are interpreted as a local equilibriumat the scale of the interfaces between the two amphiboles. Throughoutthe hornblende zone and the lower part of the oligoclase zone,both amphiboles are characterized by a progressive Mg-enrichment,with no consistent change in edenite and Tschermak components.The hornblende zone can be characterized by a continuous reactionwith Mg-enrichment of reactants (biotite and chlorite) and products(actinolite and hornblende). However, this reaction requiresa mixed-volatile phase with a much higher XCO2 ({small tilde}0.5) than those calculated from equilibrium curves in the NCMASH—CO2system. The oligoclase isograd can be represented by a discontinuousoligoclase—hornblende-forming reaction which coincideswith the change from epitaxial to concentric texture at theoligoclase isograd. At the upper limit of the oligoclase zone,gradational boundaries and a continuous solid solution betweenhornblende and actinolite document a disequilibrium texture.Although a miscibility gap can be documented in the hornblendezone, its closure at higher grade is not observed, based onequilibrium crystallization of actinolite and hornblende. Theresults of this study suggest that the crest of the solvus mustbe crossed between the oligoclase and actinolite-out isograds,based on zoned profiles between hornblende rims and relic actinolite. "The term exsolution refers to the process whereby an initiallyhomogeneous solid solution separates into two (or possibly more)distinct crystalline minerals without the addition or removalof material to or from the system. Exsolution generally, althoughnot necessarily, occurs on cooling. The miscibility gap representsa temperature—composition field in which solid solutionbetween the end members decreases gradually from higher to lowertemperatures." 相似文献

Mylonitic gabbro and altered gabbro were recovered from off-axis high and corner high locations at ridge-transform intersection,
adjacent to Vityaz transform fault of the slow spreading (32–35 mm/yr, full spreading) Northern Central Indian Ridge. Both
the varieties show signatures of extensive alteration caused due to interaction with sea water. Mylonitic gabbro represents
high temperature metamorphism (∼700–800°C) and comprised of hornblende mineral which exhibits well defined foliation/gneissic
appearance along with dynamically recrystallised plagioclase grains frequently intercalated with magnetite-ilmenite. Altered
gabbro from corner high generally includes low temperature greenschist grade (∼300°C) mineralogical assemblages: chlorite,
albite, quartz and locally magnesio hornblende. Crystal plastic deformation resulted in mylonite formation and often porphyroclasts
of plagioclase and clinopyroxene grains, while altered gabbro locally exhibits cataclastic texture. Presence of Vityaz transform
fault and adjacent megamullion at the weakly magmatic ridge-transform intersection and off-axis high locations prompted the
present scenario very much conducive for hydrothermal circulation and further facilitate the exhumation of present suite of
gabbro. 相似文献

The Laiwu Fe deposit is the largest skarn‐type deposit in West Shandong in China, with an estimated reserve of 290 Mt of iron ore. Here, we investigate the occurrence and chemical composition of amphiboles in altered dioritic rocks of this deposit. Three generations of amphibole group minerals were identified in these rocks. The first type (Type 1) is a hornblende with a generally euhedral crystal shape, 150–500 μm in size, and dominantly occurs in the host monzonite. The second type (Type 2) of hornblende occurs as fine grains (<100 μm) or concentric rims, less than 50 μm in thickness, around the Type 1 hornblende. The third type (Type 3) of amphibole is anhedral actinolite occurring along the boundary or the cracks of the Type 1 or 2 hornblende grains. The Type 1 hornblende has higher FeO (12.5–15.6 wt.%) and lower MgO contents (11.2–14.6 wt.%) than the Type 2 hornblende, which has an FeO content ranging from 8.8 to 10.5 wt.% and MgO content ranging from 14.2 to 17.1 wt.%. The Type 3 actinolite shows the lowest FeO (4.6–6.4 wt.%) and highest MgO (19.8–21.2 wt.%) contents. We infer that the Type 2 hornblende formed from Fe‐rich hydrothermal fluids released during rapid upwelling of the crystallizing magma. The fluids were relatively reduced and enriched in Fe. The Type 3 actinolite formed by coupled dissolution and reprecipitation, and its formation is one of the features denoting Fe‐enrichment events. Our study of these types of amphibole provides insights into the ore formation process. 相似文献

In the coronitic metagabbroic rocks of the Corio and Monastero metagabbro bodies in the continental Sesia–Lanzo zone of the western Italian Alps, a variety of mineral reactions that testify to prograde conditions from greenschist to eclogite-facies can be recognised. A microstructural and microchemical study of a series of samples characterized by coronitic textures and pseudomorphic replacement of the original igneous minerals has allowed the prograde reactions undergone by the rocks to be established.
In completely eclogitized coronitic samples, paragonite, blue amphibole, garnet, epidote, fine grained jadeite and chloritoid occur in plagioclase microdomains (former igneous plagioclase). The mafic mineral microdomains consist of glaucophane and garnet. Complexly-zoned amphiboles constrain changing metamorphic conditions: cores of pre-Alpine brown hornblende and/or tremolite are preserved inside rims of a sodic–calcic amphibole that are in turn surrounded by a sodic amphibole. The main high-pressure mineral assemblage, as seen in mylonites, involves glaucophane, chloritoid, epidote, garnet ± phengite, ± paragonite. Some layers within the gabbro contain garnet, omphacite, ± glaucophane, and acid dykes crosscutting the gabbro body contain jadeite, quartz, garnet, epidote and paragonite.
The presence of chloritoid-bearing high-pressure assemblages reflects hydration of the gabbros during their pre-Alpine exhumation prior to subduction, as well as the composition of the microdomains operating during subduction. The pressure and temperature conditions of gabbro transformation during subduction are inferred to be 450–550 °C at up to 2 GPa on the basis of the chloritoid-bearing assemblages. The factors controlling the reaction pathway to form chloritoid-bearing high-pressure assemblages in mafic rocks are inferred from these observations. 相似文献
