大别山双河超高压榴辉岩中的水: 微区红外光谱分析   总被引:9,自引:2,他引:7  
大陆深俯冲板块到一定深度后(约90~110km), 几乎没有含水矿物存在, 超高压岩石中名义上无水矿物(NAMs) 成为俯冲板块中水的主要载体, 是示踪超高压变质流体的重要途径.对大别山双河地区超高压榴辉岩中的石榴石和绿辉石进行了详细的微区傅立叶变换红外光谱(MicroFTIR) 分析.FTIR结果显示所有石榴石和绿辉石颗粒都含有结构水, 以OH的形式存在, 其含量范围分别为(30~1860)×10-6和(360~620)×10-6.榴辉岩全岩水含量为(300~750)×10-6, 表明即使是在超高压变质作用的温压条件下, 榴辉岩也可以至少携带数百10-6的水进入深部地球.对石榴石颗粒内部的多点观察发现, 结构水含量的分布出现2种情况: (1) 颗粒内部的均一分布; (2) 核部水含量高而边部低.石榴石颗粒边部的低水含量可能是抬升过程中由于压力降低引起的H扩散所致, 扩散出来的H可能构成了早期退变质流体的重要来源.对于同一样品来说, 结构水含量在绿辉石和石榴石之间的比值为0.5~3.5.   相似文献

柴北缘鱼卡河榴辉岩的典型矿物组合为石榴石-绿辉石-多硅白云母-金红石。其中粗粒石榴石变斑晶普遍保存进变质生长环带,从核部到边部石榴石的化学成分、包体矿物的种类和粒度皆呈现出规律的分带性。岩相学和矿物化学研究进一步表明,该榴辉岩经历了前榴辉岩相、榴辉岩相及后榴辉岩相三个主要变质演化阶段。前榴辉岩相以石榴石核部成分及核部包体矿物组合石榴石(GrtⅠ) 角闪石(AmpⅠ) 斜长石(PⅡ) 石英(Qtz)为特征,P-T 估算结果为450~500℃和0.6~0.7GPa。榴辉岩相变质阶段又可细分为早期、峰期榴辉岩和退变角闪榴辉岩三个亚相。早期榴辉岩亚相以石榴石幔部成分和幔部包体矿物组合石榴石(GrtⅡA) 绿辉石(OmpⅡA) 多硅白云母(PheⅡA)±黝帘石(Zoi) 金红石(Ru)为代表,估算的温压条件为580~640℃和2.4~2.5GPa;峰期榴辉岩相以石榴石的边部(GrtⅡB)及基质中绿辉石(OmpⅡB)和多硅白云母(PheⅡB)的核部为代表,矿物组合为 GrtⅡB OmpⅡB PheⅡB Ru,估算的 P-T 条件为620~680℃和3.0~3.4GPa;退变角闪榴辉岩相以共生的石榴石的最边部(GrtⅡC)、基质绿辉石(OmpⅡC)和多硅白云母(PheⅡC)的边部及镁红闪石(AmpⅡ)组合为代表,矿物组合为 GrtⅡC OmpⅡC AmpⅡ PheⅡC,估算的 P-T 条件为700~720℃和2.3~2.4GPa。后榴辉岩阶段主要为麻粒岩-高角闪岩相,以绿辉石分解形成透辉石 钠长石冠状体以及进一步分解形成韭闪石 斜长石,铁红闪石分解形成浅闪石 斜长石为代表,P-T 估算结果为550~600℃和0.6~1GPa。温压估算结果表明,鱼卡河榴辉岩经历了升温升压—升温降压—降温降压的一个顺时针 P-T 演化轨迹,它记录了从俯冲-超高压变质-抬升的连续的演化过程。峰期变质条件为630~680℃和3.0~3.4GPa,已达超高压变质范畴。榴辉岩中进变质矿物组合和生长环带的保存说明榴辉岩的形成经历了相对快速的俯冲和折返的动力学过程。  相似文献

拉萨地块松多榴辉岩主要矿物组合为石榴子石、绿辉石、角闪石、多硅白云母、绿帘石、金红石。石榴子石环带不明显,核部成分均一,从核部到边部,镁铝榴石和钙铝榴石含量降低,可能分别记录了榴辉岩峰期及退变质过程信息。绿辉石显示微弱的成分环带,硬玉含量从核部到边部略有升高,部分绿辉石边部发育韭闪石退变质边,反映了在减压过程中外来流体进入体系的过程。多硅白云母具有高的Si含量(3.5~3.6),其中石榴石包体中的多硅白云母相对基质中的白云母有更高的Si值。本文利用Thermocalc变质相平衡模拟软件,结合详细岩相学观察,在NCKMn FMASHTO体系下,模拟松多含多硅白云母榴辉岩的变质演化过程。其中,榴辉岩峰期矿物组合为g+o+law+phn+ru,石榴石核部最大镁铝榴石值和石榴子石包体中多硅白云母最大Si值确定的榴辉岩峰期温压条件约为620℃,32×105Pa,榴辉岩经历了近等温降压的退变质过程。相平衡模拟结果表明拉萨地块松多榴辉岩经历了超高压变质作用过程,并经历了相对快速的折返过程到中部地壳层次。  相似文献

青海铁石观西发现大量的榴辉岩,鱼卡超高压变质带向东南延伸了40km。对铁石观西榴辉岩从地质特征、岩相学、矿物学等进行研究,岩相学显示其为典型的退变榴辉岩,保留有超高压变质峰期矿物组合(石榴子石+绿辉石+多硅白云母+金红石)。运用矿物温度计对铁石观西超高压变质峰期温度进行测量,得出温度范围为694~791℃,压力范围为2.5~2.6GPa。石榴子石环带显示,核部到边部温度升高,核部到幔部压力逐步升高,幔部到边部压力降低,表明榴辉岩经历了快速俯冲和折返速度缓慢的动力学过程。  相似文献

对大别山石马和英山超高压榴辉岩中的“名义上无水矿物”(NAM s)石榴石和绿辉石的Fourier变换红外光谱(FT IR)观察表明,它们都含有以OH-或者H2O形式存在的氢,而且发现NAM s从不同地区到同一样品不同颗粒、再到同一颗粒的不同部位的水含量并不均匀。研究结果表明:石马和英山地区绿辉石中结构水的含量范围分别为90×10-6~1 670×1-0 6,110×10-6~710×10-6;石榴石中结构水的含量分别为510×10-6~830×1-0 6,0~180×1-0 6。同时结合地球物理化学等因素对NAM s中结构水在促进榴辉岩变形方面的效应及其与流体包裹体之间的关系进行了初步探讨。  相似文献

榴辉岩相变质岩石的温压研究对理解高压-超高压变质带的形成和演化具有重要意义,但西南天山低温榴辉岩运用石榴石-绿辉石(-多硅白云母)温压计计算的压力普遍低于相平衡模拟的结果.为此,在Zhang et al.(2017)对含霓辉石榴辉岩研究结果的基础上,对该区域内榴辉岩及其脉体中的绿辉石进行了岩相学和矿物化学的研究,结果表明绿辉石普遍发育环带结构:从核部到边部,Fe3+含量降低,Al含量增加,Fe3+/Al比值的降低对应于霓石含量的降低和硬玉含量的升高.相平衡模拟中硬玉分子等值线的计算结果表明具有最高硬玉含量的边部绿辉石在降压阶段生长.因此,具有最高含量的硬玉组分的绿辉石并不一定代表峰期压力,在应用石榴石-单斜辉石(-多硅白云母)传统温压计时需谨慎,尤其是应用于低温的、具有复杂环带模式的矿物组合时要尤为慎重.   相似文献

青藏高原拉萨地块松多蓝闪石榴辉岩主要矿物组合为石榴石、绿辉石、蓝闪石、绿帘石/斜黝帘石,及少量的金红石、石英、多硅白云母和普通角闪石。石榴石具有成分环带,从核到边Xpy升高,Xgr降低,部分石榴石外边缘受退变质改造影响,形成富Xgr的成分带。利用NCKMnFMASHTO体系中的P-T视剖面图,结合石榴石边部最大Xpy等值线和多硅白云母最大Si-含量值确定了松多榴辉岩的峰期变质条件为30±0.6kbar和610±6℃。石榴石核部到幔部成分环带记录的相对平缓的PT轨迹反应了岩石早期经历了以加热升温为主、轻微加压的缓慢俯冲过程,地温梯度为7~8℃/km。石榴石幔部到边部成分环带,结合多硅白云母最大Si含量等值线模拟了以缓慢升温、快速增压为特征的P-T轨迹,反应了岩石由早期的缓慢俯冲进入到后期的快速俯冲阶段,地温梯度由7~8℃/km减小到5~6℃/km。峰期之后的榴辉岩经历了早期近等温减压的变质过程,以硬柱石和少量滑石的脱水反应生成蓝闪石和绿帘石(约22~23kbar)为主要特征。其后的晚期退变质阶段以硬柱石消失后局部成分域内由富余流体的消耗形成冻蓝闪石(约16kbar)以及蓝闪石和绿辉石边部发育后成合晶为特征(11~12kbar),石榴石边部的韭闪石冠状体和金红石边部生成的榍石退变边也大致发生在该阶段。榴辉岩近等温减压的变质过程可能代表了早期的构造快速抬升过程。松多榴辉岩带可能代表了青藏高原拉萨地块内一条新的大洋型高压-超高压变质带,大约266Ma的榴辉岩相变质时代说明在拉萨地块内部可能存在过一个二叠纪的古特提斯洋盆。  相似文献

鱼卡榴辉岩位于柴北缘HP/UHP变质带的西段,榴辉岩呈透镜状或似层状分布在变质泥质岩、花岗质片麻岩及少量大理岩中,主要由石榴石和绿辉石组成,具有含量不等的多硅白云母、角闪石、黝帘石(斜黝帘石或绿帘石)、金红石和石英等。岩相学和矿物化学研究显示榴辉岩经历了3期与俯冲和折返作用有关的变质演化阶段:(1)前榴辉岩相进变质阶段,榴辉岩矿物组合为石榴石(核) 绿帘石 斜长石 角闪石,以包体的形式保存于具有生长环带的石榴石核部,形成的温压条件为p=1.06~1.11GPa,t=560~577℃;(2)榴辉岩相变质阶段,以绿辉石、多硅白云母等矿物围绕石榴石定向分布为特征,其矿物组合为石榴石(边) 绿辉石 多硅白云母±黝帘石,温压估算获得榴辉岩相的变质条件为p=2.35~2.52GPa,t=610~680℃;(3)后榴辉岩相变质阶段,矿物组合为石榴石 角闪石 斜长石,主要存在于围绕榴辉岩透镜体分布的退变榴辉岩(角闪石化榴辉岩)中,形成的温压条件为p=1.09±0.12GPa,t=635±44℃。研究结果显示榴辉岩的pT轨迹具有“发卡”型特点,表明鱼卡榴辉岩经历了快速俯冲和折返的演化历史。  相似文献

运用电子探针和显微Fourier变换红外光谱技术,对新疆西天山3个榴辉岩样品中的石榴石进行了详细的主量元素和结构水分析。结果显示,石榴石发育以核部富锰铝榴石组分、边部富镁铝榴石组分进变质作用的成分环带。石榴石中OH^-1分布也具有规律:核部→边缘。其结构水OH^-1逐步增加,即从核部的89-239ppm增加到边部的367-658ppm;与石榴石边部相比,石榴石的核部含有较低的OH^-1,却含有较高的H2O和Mn含量。这表明,在蓝片岩向榴辉岩进变质作用过程中,含水矿物脱水反应而释放出大量的分子水,这部分水促进了高压变质反应,形成榴辉岩相矿物,石榴石核部的结晶就是在富水和Mn的条件下进行的。随着高压变质作用的继续,石榴石核部的分子水逐步失水而进入石榴石晶格,形成结构水。因此,在高压变质作用过程中,OH^-1演化实际上是一个由内部不平衡逐步向平衡转变过程。P588.348  相似文献

榴辉岩中传统地质温压计新解:来自PT视剖面图的证据   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
石榴石-单斜辉石(GC)温度计和石榴石-单斜辉石-多硅白云母(GCP)压力计是确定榴辉岩形成温压条件的最常用方法,二者主要依据石榴石、绿辉石和多硅白云母中相组分之间的交换和转换变质反应.依据MORB成分计算的PT视剖面图表明,在不同榴辉岩矿物组合中,控制3个矿物相成分变化的相组分之间的变质反应不同.在低温含绿泥石、滑石和蓝闪石榴辉岩组合中,石榴石和绿辉石的镁含量主要受到含水矿物脱水反应的控制,并都随温度升高而升高,二者之间的铁镁交换反应并不起主要作用.因此,在自然界含有蓝闪石等含水矿物的低温榴辉岩中,由于绿辉石相对富镁而常常导致GC温度计结果偏低.在含有硬柱石的高压-超高压榴辉岩中,石榴石中的钙含量受到硬柱石的控制,随着压力升高或温度降低,硬柱石含量增加,使石榴石中钙降低,此时石榴石-绿辉石-多硅白云母之间的转换反应对石榴石成分的影响会很微弱,由于石榴石相对贫钙而导致GCP压力计结果偏低.在含有蓝晶石的中温高压-超高压榴辉岩中,矿物成分的变化受到石榴石-绿辉石之间的铁镁交换反应和石榴石.绿辉石.多硅白云母-蓝晶石-石英/柯石英之间的一系列转换反应控制,因此,GC和GCP温压计都能给出相对合理的结果.在低压普通角闪石榴辉岩中,石榴石和绿辉石中的镁含量主要反应压力变化,有时并不指示变质作用温度.在含有蓝闪石等含水矿物的低温榴辉岩中,Thermocalc程序中的平均温压(avPT)方法可以给出比较合适的温度,但压力结果与GCP压力计一样也会偏低一些.在蓝闪石和绿帘石等含水矿物消失后的中温蓝晶石榴辉岩中,avPT方法难以给出合理的PT信息.相对来说,视剖面图方法能够给出最多的PT信息,是目前确定变质岩PT条件的最好方法.  相似文献

中国大陆科学钻探主孔0-4500米的岩心主要由榴辉岩、斜长角闪岩、副片麻岩、正片麻岩以及少量的超基性岩所组成。岩相学研究结果表明,榴辉岩的围岩普遍经历了强烈角闪岩相退变质作用的改造,峰期超高压变质的矿物组合已完全被后期退变质过程中角闪岩相矿物组合所替代。采用激光拉曼技术,配备电子探针和阴极发光测试,发现主孔224件岩心中有121件(包括榴辉岩、斜长角闪岩、副片麻岩和正片麻岩)样品的锆石中普遍隐藏以柯石英为代表的超高压矿物包体,且不同岩石类型锆石中所保存的超高压矿物包体组合存在明显差异。(含多硅白云母)金红石石英榴辉岩锆石中保存的典型超高压包体矿物组合为柯石英 石榴石、柯石英 石榴石 绿辉石 金红石和柯石英 多硅白云母 磷灰石。黑云绿帘斜长角闪岩锆石中保存的超高压矿物组合为柯石英 石榴石 绿辉石、柯石英 石榴石 多硅白云母和柯石英 绿辉石 金红石,与榴辉岩所保存的超高压矿物组合十分相似,表明该类斜长角闪岩是由超高压榴辉岩在构造折返过程中退变质而成。在副片麻岩类岩石,如石榴绿帘黑云二长片麻岩锆石中,代表性的超高压包体矿物组合为柯石英 多硅白云母和柯石英 石榴石等;而在石榴黑云角闪钠长片麻岩锆石中,则保存柯石英 硬玉 石榴石 磷灰石、柯石英 硬玉 多硅白云母 磷灰石和柯石英 石榴石 磷灰石等超高压矿物包体。在正片麻岩锆石中,标志性的超高压矿物包体为柯石英、柯石英 多硅白云母、柯石英 蓝晶石 磷灰石和柯石英 蓝晶石 榍石等。此外,在南苏鲁东海至临沭一带的地表露头以及一系列卫星孔岩心的锆石中,也普遍发现以柯石英为代表的标志性超高压矿物包体,表明在南苏鲁地区由榴辉岩及其围岩的原岩所组成的巨量陆壳物质(方圆>5000km2,厚度超过4.5km)曾整体发生深俯冲,并经历了超高压变质作用。该项研究对于重塑苏鲁-大别超高压变质带俯冲-折返的动力学模式有着重要的科学意义。  相似文献

Garnet and omphacite from ultrahigh-pressure eclogites from the Dabie orogen, eastern China were investigated by Micro-FTIR. The results show that all garnet and omphacite grains contain structural water occurring as hydroxyl (OH), with H2O contents varying from 14 to 1915 ppm (H2O wt) and from 105 to 695 ppm, respectively. Within the same sample, the water contents are either homogeneous at the grain scale or vary systematically from higher in the core to lower in the rim. Low water contents at crystal rims possibly result from hydroxyl exsolution after pressure decrease upon rock exhumation. The δD values of omphacites are between −108.4‰ and −114.2‰, and independent of water contents. Heterogeneous water contents of garnet occur at the centimeter scale and fluid mobility during UHP metamorphism was very limited. The estimated whole-rock water content based on mineral H2O contents is between 260 and 750 ppm, thereby implying that eclogitic rocks formed during continental subduction have the potential to recycle (at least) several hundreds ppm water to mantle depths. The preserved chemical differences likely indicate that the eclogitic rocks resided at mantle conditions for a limited time span, and imply that they were exhumed shortly after subduction. The water released during decompression might represent the early-stage retrograde fluid.  相似文献

名义上无水矿物的水含量研究对于认识俯冲带流体活动和地球动力学具有重要意义.对大别山金河桥榴辉岩中石榴石进行了傅里叶变换红外光谱分析和主微量元素分析,结果表明石榴石含有分子水和结构羟基,分别为 < 1×10-6~1 946×10-6和< 1×10-6~1 347×10-6.石榴石羟基含量与Ca、Na、Ti、Zr和Pr正相关,而与Si负相关,表明羟基结合机制以水榴石替代为主并伴有其他机制.分子水主要为初始水或折返过程中羟基转化形成.石榴石总水含量为 < 1×10-6~3 293×10-6,最大值对应于峰期超高压石榴石水储存能力.水在峰期石榴石中可达到饱和.石榴石变化的水含量受原岩性质、流体可获得性、压力和温度等多种因素控制,但主要由折返过程中降压脱水导致.石榴石平均总水含量为749×10-6~1 164×10-6,是俯冲板片向地幔水传输的重要介质.   相似文献

Glaucophane‐bearing ultrahigh pressure (UHP) eclogites from the western Dabieshan terrane consist of garnet, omphacite, glaucophane, kyanite, epidote, phengite, quartz/coesite and rutile with or without talc and paragonite. Some garnet porphyroblasts exhibit a core–mantle zoning profile with slight increase in pyrope content and minor or slight decrease in grossular and a mantle–rim zoning profile characterized by a pronounced increase in pyrope and rapid decrease in grossular. Omphacite is usually zoned with a core–rim decrease in j(o) [=Na/(Ca + Na)]. Glaucophane occurs as porphyroblasts in some samples and contains inclusions of garnet, omphacite and epidote. Pseudosections calculated in the NCKMnFMASHO system for five representative samples, combined with petrographic observations suggest that the UHP eclogites record four stages of metamorphism. (i) The prograde stage, on the basis of modelling of garnet zoning and inclusions in garnet, involves PT vectors dominated by heating with a slight increase in pressure, suggesting an early slow subduction process, and PT vectors dominated by a pronounced increase in pressure and slight heating, pointing to a late fast subduction process. The prograde metamorphism is predominated by dehydration of glaucophane and, to a lesser extent, chlorite, epidote and paragonite, releasing ~27 wt% water that was bound in the hydrous minerals. (ii) The peak stage is represented by garnet rim compositions with maximum pyrope and minimum grossular contents, and PT conditions of 28.2–31.8 kbar and 605–613 °C, with the modelled peak‐stage mineral assemblage mostly involving garnet + omphacite + lawsonite + talc + phengite + coesite ± glaucophane ± kyanite. (iii) The early decompression stage is characterized by dehydration of lawsonite, releasing ~70–90 wt% water bound in the peak mineral assemblages, which results in the growth of glaucophane, j(o) decrease in omphacite and formation of epidote. And, (iv) The late retrograde stage is characterized by the mineral assemblage of hornblendic amphibole + epidote + albite/oligoclase + quartz developed in the margins or strongly foliated domains of eclogite blocks due to fluid infiltration at P–T conditions of 5–10 kbar and 500–580 °C. The proposed metamorphic stages for the UHP eclogites are consistent with the petrological observations, but considerably different from those presented in the previous studies.  相似文献

大别山超高压硬玉石英岩中的水: 来自红外光谱的证据   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
为了探讨大别山“名义上无水矿物”(NAMs)中结构水的分布特征, 研究相关的流体活动、矿物变形以及板块俯冲和折返动力学过程提供重要的微观信息.对大别山双河和碧溪岭地区超高压硬玉石英岩中的石英、硬玉、石榴石和金红石进行了傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)分析, 研究结果显示这些矿物都含有以OH-或者H2O形式存在的氢, 硬玉中结构水平均含量在1000×10-6左右; 石榴石结构水含量在(900~1600)×10-6之间, 各样品颗粒结构水的分布不均匀; 副矿物金红石结构水含量在2000×10-6以上, 而石英结构中基本不含或仅含微量水(< 4×10-6).双河和碧溪岭地区的硬玉石英岩全岩含水量分别为(490~600)×10-6和545×10-6, 不同地区同一种NAMs中结构水含量基本相同.表明在高压-超高压变质岩的形成过程中, 地壳或原岩中的水可以通过这些超高压变质岩中的NAMs携带到地球深部.   相似文献

Although ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks are present in many collisional orogenic belts, almost all exposed UHP metamorphic rocks are subducted upper or felsic lower continental crust with minor mafic boudins. Eclogites formed by subduction of mafic lower continental crust have not been identified yet. Here an eclogite occurrence that formed during subduction of the mafic lower continental crust in the Dabie orogen, east‐central China is reported. At least four generations of metamorphic mineral assemblages can be discerned: (i) hypersthene + plagioclase ± garnet; (ii) omphacite + garnet + rutile + quartz; (iii) symplectite stage of garnet + diopside + hypersthene + ilmenite + plagioclase; (iv) amphibole + plagioclase + magnetite, which correspond to four metamorphic stages: (a) an early granulite facies, (b) eclogite facies, (c) retrograde metamorphism of high‐pressure granulite facies and (d) retrograde metamorphism of amphibolite facies. Mineral inclusion assemblages and cathodoluminescence images show that zircon is characterized by distinctive domains of core and a thin overgrowth rim. The zircon core domains are classified into two types: the first is igneous with clear oscillatory zonation ± apatite and quartz inclusions; and the second is metamorphic containing a granulite facies mineral assemblage of garnet, hypersthene and plagioclase (andesine). The zircon rims contain garnet, omphacite and rutile inclusions, indicating a metamorphic overgrowth at eclogite facies. The almost identical ages of the two types of core domains (magmatic = 791 ± 9 Ma and granulite facies metamorphic zircon = 794 ± 10 Ma), and the Triassic age (212 ± 10 Ma) of eclogitic facies metamorphic overgrowth zircon rim are interpreted as indicating that the protolith of the eclogite is mafic granulite that originated from underplating of mantle‐derived magma onto the base of continental crust during the Neoproterozoic (c. 800 Ma) and then subducted during the Triassic, experiencing UHP eclogite facies metamorphism at mantle depths. The new finding has two‐fold significance: (i) voluminous mafic lower continental crust can increase the average density of subducted continental lithosphere, thus promoting its deep subduction; (ii) because of the current absence of mafic lower continental crust in the Dabie orogen, delamination or recycling of subducted mafic lower continental crust can be inferred as the geochemical cause for the mantle heterogeneity and the unusually evolved crustal composition.  相似文献

By taking advantage of having depth profiles between contrasting lithologies from core samples of the Chinese Continental Scientific Drilling (CCSD) project, a combined study was carried out to examine changes in mineral H isotope, total water and hydroxyl contents in garnet and omphacite across the contacts between ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) eclogite and gneiss in the Sulu orogen, east-central China. The samples of interest were from two continuous core segments from the CCSD main hole at depths of 734.21-737.16 and 929.67-932.86 m, respectively. The results show δD values of −116‰ to  − 64‰ for garnet and −104‰ to −82‰ for omphacite, consistent with incorporation of meteoric water into protoliths of UHP metamorphic rocks by high-T alteration. Both equilibrium and disequilibrium H isotope fractionations were observed between garnet and omphacite, suggesting fluid-assisted H isotope exchange at local scales during amphibolite-facies retrogression. While bulk water analysis gave total H2O concentrations of 522-1584 ppm for garnet and 1170-20745 ppm for omphacite, structural hydroxyl analysis yielded H2O contents of 80-413 ppm for garnet and 228-412 ppm for omphacite. It appears that significant amounts of molecular H2O are present in the minerals, pointing to enhanced capacity of water storage in the UHP eclogite minerals. Hydrogen isotope variations in the transition between eclogite and gneiss show correlations with variations in their water contents. Petrographically, the degree of retrograde metamorphism generally increases with decreasing distance from the eclogite-gneiss boundary. Thus, retrograde metamorphism results in mineral reactions and H isotope variation. Because hydroxyl solubility in nominally anhydrous minerals decreases with dropping pressure, significant amounts of water are expected to be released from the minerals during decompression exhumation. Decompression exsolution of structural hydroxyl from 1 m3 volume of eclogite composed of only garnet and omphacite results in release of a quantitative estimate of 3.07-3.44 kg water that can form 140-156 kg amphibole during exhumation. Therefore, it is concluded that fluid for retrogression of the eclogites away from the eclogite-gneiss boundary was derived from the decompression exsolution of structural hydroxyl and molecular H2O in nominally anhydrous minerals. For the eclogites adjacent to gneiss, in contrast, the retrograde metamorphism was principally caused by aqueous fluid from the gneiss which is relatively rich in water. Consequently, both the origin and availability of metamorphic fluid during exhumation of deeply subducted continental crust are deciphered by this combined study focusing on the transitions and the retrograde processes between the felsic and mafic UHP rocks.  相似文献

Infrared spectroscopy and ion micro-probe measurements showed that the major constituent minerals of eclogites from the Kokchetav massif, which have been subducted to 180 km depths, contain significant amounts of water up to 870 ppm H2O (by weight) in omphacite, 130 ppm H2O in garnet and 740 ppm H2O in rutile. Omphacite shows three hydroxyl absorption bands at 3440–3460, 3500–3530 and 3600–3625 cm− 1, garnet has a single band at 3580–3630 cm− 1 and rutile has a single sharp band at 3280 cm− 1. The hydroxyl absorbance at these wavenumbers changes with the crystal orientation in polarized infrared radiation, indicating that the water is structurally incorporated in these minerals. The water contents in omphacite and garnet increase systematically with the metamorphic pressure of the host eclogites. The partitioning coefficient of the water content between coexisting garnet and omphacite is similar in different eclogites, DGrt/Omp0.1–0.2, but decreases slightly at high pressure. Based on the mineral proportions of the eclogites, we estimate bulk-rock water content in the eclogites ranging from 3070 to 300 ppm H2O (by weight). Although hydrous minerals are absent in the diamond-grade eclogite (60 kbar and 1000 °C), trace amounts of water are incorporated in the nominally anhydrous minerals such as omphacite and garnet. The presence of significant water in these minerals implies that the subducting oceanic crust can transport considerable amounts of water into the deep upper mantle beyond the stability of hydrous minerals. Such water may be stored in the deep upper mantle and have an important influence on dynamics in the Earth's interior.  相似文献
