吉林南部太古宙TTG岩类的深熔作用及深熔熔体的分凝聚集   总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2  
研究表明,吉林南部太古宙TTG岩类中的部分岩石发生了深熔作用。深熔作用发生于TTG岩类遭受高角闪相变质作用条件下,其温度为660~670℃,压力为0.6GPa左右。同时南北向韧性剪切变形作用促进了TTG岩类的深熔作用,并为深熔体就位提供了主要空间。深熔岩浆分凝聚集结晶形成了淡色块状花网岩类。发生深熔作用的TTG岩石和淡色块花网岩类中均有两个世代的矿物组合,第一世代矿物代表TTG岩石原有的矿物,第二  相似文献

利用最新的内洽性热力学数据库和THERMOCALC3.21程序对胶北地块高压与低压泥质麻粒岩的相平衡关系进行了定量分析。计算了胶北地块高压泥质麻粒岩、低压泥质麻粒岩和夕线石榴黑云片岩等代表性富铝岩石KFMASH(K2O-FeO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O)体系的p-T视剖面图,再现了这些岩石随温压条件变化可能出现的各种矿物组合与矿物成分变化,发现原岩成分不同的变质岩石,尽管变质演化过程有所差异,但在麻粒岩相变质条件下所形成的矿物组合一致。通过计算泥质岩石在高压(p=1.0GPa)和低压(p=0.5GPa)条件下的T-X视剖面图,发现极度富铁、贫镁的岩石,在高压麻粒岩相条件下并不会生成含蓝晶石的特征矿物组合,在低压麻粒岩相条件下也不会生成含堇青石的特征矿物组合。将样品实际观测结果与p-T视剖面图的计算结果对比,确定胶北地块高压泥质麻粒岩变质峰期的温压条件为830~860℃,1.25~1.4GPa,峰期后呈现顺时针样式的p-T演化轨迹,反映陆壳先碰撞增厚、后又快速减薄的地质动力学过程;确定胶北地块低压泥质麻粒岩变质峰期的温压条件为790~820℃,0.62~0.68GPa,峰期后呈现近等压冷却的p-T演化轨迹。  相似文献

下地壳岩石的深熔作用不仅与麻粒岩和花岗岩的形成具有紧密关联,而且在某些构造环境下会对地球动力学演化过程造成影响,因此,对深熔岩石的变质P-T条件的准确估算及对其熔融机制的限定具有重要意义。基于内洽性热力学数据库、THERMOCALC/Perple_X等程序以及适当的固溶体活度模型,变质相平衡模拟已逐渐成为变质岩石学的常规研究方法,广泛应用于推断天然岩石的矿物共生序列、估算岩石的变质P-T条件等。不仅如此,如果有适当的熔体活度模型,变质相平衡模拟还能估算深熔岩石的熔融温度、压力及熔体比例,以及限定其涉及的熔融反应,并计算熔体、转熔矿物及残余矿物的成分等。针对不同成分岩石,包括花岗质岩石、变泥质岩、变基性岩及橄榄岩在不同压力下产生的熔体,前人陆续提出了对应的活度模型,并且其有效性得到了相关实验数据的验证。随着近年来熔体活度模型的不断更新和完善,变质相平衡模拟有望成为研究自然界深熔岩石的常规方法,为相关的麻粒岩和花岗岩成因研究、相关地球动力学演化研究提供新的思路。  相似文献

试论阜平杂岩的深熔作用   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
阜平杂岩中广泛产出浅色脉体,从而显示强烈的混合岩化作用。前人把引起混合岩化作用的机制归因于岩汁交代、重熔或无水深熔作用,似乎与实际的岩相结构不是很一致。矿物自形晶、钠长石净边结构和一些典型的矿物转化反应表明,阜平杂岩的混合岩化作用实际上经历了复杂的过程,主要表现为有水条件下的深熔作用。所形成的熔体有较大的流动性,可迁移一定的距离而进入邻近的岩石,对这些部位而言相当于发生了外来熔体的注入活动,造成熔体注入式混合岩化作用,形成一些交代反应和结构。因此,阜平杂岩混合岩化作用中的变质反应过程既包括长英质矿物的熔融(溶解),还涉及一种含水矿物(如黑云母)转化形成另外一种含水矿物(如角闪石)的化学反应。阜平杂岩的混合岩化作用最重要的机制是水致熔融或含水深熔作用,溶解性重熔或无水深熔作用则较为次要。  相似文献

位于东喜马拉雅构造结的南迦巴瓦杂岩是高喜马拉雅结晶岩系的一部分,是印度大陆深俯冲到欧亚板块之下经历了高压变质作用的产物。基于岩相学和矿物化学研究,本文对南迦巴瓦杂岩中的泥质变质岩进行了相平衡模拟研究。结果表明,泥质岩石经历了高压麻粒岩相变质作用,峰期矿物组成是石榴石+蓝晶石+黑云母+斜长石+钾长石+石英+金红石,峰期变质条件是~820℃,13.0~13.5kb,表明印度大陆至少俯冲到了约45km深度,构成了青藏高原的加厚下地壳。高压泥质变质岩在进变质和峰期变质过程中经历了白云母和黑云母脱水反应引起的部分深熔,熔融程度可达27vol%,形成了花岗质成分的熔体,构成了喜马拉雅造山带淡色花岗岩的源区。因此,青藏高原具有一个深熔融的中下地壳,为其侧向流动提供了有利的流变学环境。  相似文献

麻粒岩相岩石作为洞察下地壳的窗口一直备受重视。二十世纪九十年代以来麻粒岩研究的一个重要进展是利用变质相平衡的定量研究方法模拟岩石中所发生的深熔变质反应、熔体成分变化、及熔体丢失对变质矿物组合的影响等。本文利用KASH、NKASH和KFMASH等简单体系的相平衡关系,做出P-T投影图、组分共生图解和基于固定全岩成分的P-T视剖面图解,并结合有关实验岩石学结果,讨论了高温和超高温条件下变质泥质岩和杂砂岩中的变质熔融反应、矿物组合、全岩成分与P-T条件之间的相互关系。多数变质泥质岩和杂砂岩中饱和流体固相线熔融反应可利用NKASH体系中有水流体参与的熔融反应模拟,在没有外来流体注入时,这些反应可形成<3mol%熔体。在不同体系中白云母脱水熔融反应型式及其P-T条件不同,如在NKASH和KFMASH体系中模拟计算的白云母脱水熔融反应与相应的实验结果相似,分别控制了白云母分解熔融的温度下限和上限;白云母的分解温度会随着其中Fe、Mg和Ti含量的增加而升高,也随着共生斜长石中钙长石组分增加而升高,泥质岩中白云母脱水熔融可以形成~10mol%熔体。在KFMASH体系中黑云母脱水熔融反应表现为4条单变反应,其理论计算的温度比实验模拟的结果低一些。在NCKFMASH体系或实际岩石中黑云母脱水熔融反应为滑动反应,如NCKFMASH体系中黑云母从其开始熔融到最后消失在泥质岩中可跨越~100℃,在杂砂岩中可跨越30~50℃。黑云母的稳定温度随着镁值升高而升高,其稳定上限受钛影响更大,黑云母脱水熔融可以形成超过30mol%~40mol%熔体。KFMASH体系中的相平衡模拟表明以出现斜方辉石+夕线石和假蓝宝石为特征的超高温组合易于出现于富镁泥质岩中,而对正常成分泥质岩在达到1000℃的超高温条件下,主要出现石榴石+夕线石(即夕线榴),该组合在更高温度反应形成假蓝宝石+尖晶石。利用饱和水固相线反应和白云母与黑云母分解反应可以更好地限定不同的变质相。如中压和低压条件下低角闪岩相和高角闪岩相的界限可利用NKASH体系中有水流体和白云母参与的熔融反应和亚固相线条件下的白云母分解反应限定;实验确定的泥质岩中黑云母开始熔融与消失的反应可分别用于限定高角闪岩相与(正常)麻粒岩相的界限,以及(正常)麻粒岩相和超高温麻粒岩相的界限。因此,从矿物组合角度,正常麻粒岩相可限定在黑云母开始熔融到完全消失的温度范围,超高温麻粒岩相可限定在黑云母消失(有石英存在)之后的温度范围。  相似文献

南阿尔金吐拉地区所出露的变质泥质岩和变质基性岩普遍经历了中压麻粒岩相变质作用,其中变泥质岩以出现石榴子石+夕线石+长石+黑云母+石英为特征,而基性麻粒岩则以石榴子石+单斜辉石+紫苏辉石+斜长石+石英为特征,具有典型中压相系的麻粒岩相变质作用矿物组合,即显示"巴罗式"变质作用特征。野外宏观特征显示这套变泥质岩普遍经历了原地深熔作用,并局部发生混合岩化作用。岩相学观察结果显示泥质片麻岩保留了关键的深熔作用显微结构证据:(1)石榴子石内部发育有钾长石、石英和斜长石组成的矿物集合体,可能代表了早期熔体的假象;(2)黑云母颗粒边界发育尖锐的、不规则的微斜长石,而且黑云母边界溶蚀明显,形成锯齿状不规则的边界,指示深熔作用可能与黑云母的分解密切相关,即黑云母可能为深熔作用的主要反应相;(3)石英、斜长石或石榴子石颗粒边界发育圆珠状不规则的钾长石,而且颗粒边界或三联点中尖锐状钾长石与周围矿物的形成较小的二面角,有些甚至相互连通呈网络状,这也与它们继承了熔体结构特征一致;(4)不规则钾长石(或微斜长石)分布在石榴子石和夕线石附近,指示石榴子石和夕线石可能为深熔作用的残留相。锆石U-Pb定年结果显示麻粒岩相变质作用和相关深熔作用时代基本一致,主要发生在~450Ma。因此,吐拉地区的中压麻粒岩相变质作用和深熔作用明显要晚于南阿尔金地区榴辉岩和高压麻粒岩的峰期变质时代40~50Myr,而是与榴辉岩折返过程中麻粒岩相叠加变质作用的时代较为接近。但南阿尔金~450Ma的变质作用、深熔作用和岩浆作用是否为独立的构造热事件抑或深俯冲板片折返阶段的产物,这还需要今后进一步的工作验证。  相似文献

深熔岩石的岩相学特征是鉴别岩石是否经历了深熔作用改造的直接证据,作者以闪长岩作为实验样品,进行了初级、中级、高级三种级别的熔融实验,获得了不同熔融程度条件下的岩相学特征。具体表现为:初级熔融阶段,岩石中的含水矿物发育熔融港湾结构;中级熔融阶段,矿物中发育熔蚀乳滴结构和熔蚀穿切(细脉)结构;高级熔融阶段,主要发育熔蚀残余结构。这些结构对于岩石是否遭受了深熔作用的改造以及改造程度的界定具有一定的参考意义。  相似文献

Garnet-bearing mineral assemblages are commonly observed in pelitic schists regionally metamorphosed to upper greenschist and amphibolite facies conditions. Modelling of thermodynamic data for minerals in the system Na2O–K2O–FeO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O, however, predicts that garnet should be observed only in rocks of a narrow range of very high Fe/Mg bulk compositions. Traditionally, the nearly ubiquitous presence of garnet in medium- to high-grade pelitic schists is attributed qualitatively to the stabilizing effect of MnO, based on the observed strong partitioning of MnO into garnet relative to other minerals. In order to quantify the dependence of garnet stability on whole-rock MnO content, we have calculated mineral stabilities for pelitic rocks in the system MnO–Na2O–K2O–FeO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2–H2O for a moderate range of MnO contents from a set of non-linear equations that specify mass balance and chemical equilibrium among minerals and fluid. The model pelitic system includes quartz, muscovite. albite, pyrophyllite, chlorite, chloritoid, biotite, garnet, staurolite, cordierite, andalusite, kyanite. sillimanite, K-feldspar and H2O fluid. In the MnO-free system, garnet is restricted to high Fe/Mg bulk compositions, and commonly observed mineral assemblages such as garnet–chlorite and garnet–kyanite are not predicted at any pressure and temperature. In bulk compositions with XMn= Mn/(Fe + Mg + Mn) > 0.01, however, the predicted garnet-bearing mineral assemblages are the same as the sequence of prograde mineral assemblages typically observed in regional metamorphic terranes. Temperatures predicted for the first appearance of garnet in model pelitic schist are also strongly dependent on whole-rock MnO content. The small MnO contents of normal pelitic schists (XMn= 0.01–0.04) are both sufficient and necessary to account for the observed stability of garnet.  相似文献

Whole rock trace element and isotopic compositions of different HP–LT metamorphic rocks of the Ile de Groix were analysed to characterise geochemical fingerprints during subduction and exhumation in a late Palaeozoic HP metamorphic terrain. Massive metabasites of hydrothermally altered enriched mid-ocean ridge basalt (E-MORB) origin are in association with banded metabasic rocks of volcano-sedimentary origin and metapelites. Fluid-rock interactions that likely occurred during seafloor hydrothermal alteration and early subduction metasomatism increased δ18O values, as well as K2O, Na2O, MgO, and LILE contents and decreased CaO contents of metabasites. Most metabasites have retained their early-subduction and pre-HP trace element and isotopic composition, even for rocks metamorphosed to lower eclogite-facies P–T conditions. Micaschists also preserved apparent pelitic protolith trace element values and oxygen isotopic compositions. During retrograde metamorphism related to the exhumation, metabasites were rehydrated by fluids in equilibrium with the host rock compositions, which were likely derived from the basic rocks. This style of fluid–rock interaction formed a greenschist facies mineral assemblage. Metabasites that underwent pervasive alteration by seafloor hydrothermal and metasomatism processes prior to peak metamorphism, show greater effects of retrogression and albitisation, probably because they were richer in H2O and Na2O. The variety of metamorphic assemblages on the Ile de Groix is thus directly related to the pre-HP rock composition. The extent of retrogression in the western part of the Ile de Groix primarily reflects stronger metasomatic intensities than in the eastern part.  相似文献

The oligoclase-biotite zone of the Bessi area, central Shikoku is characterized by sodic plagioclase (XCa= 0.10–0.28)-bearing assemblages in pelitic schists, and represents the highest-grade zone of the Sanbagawa metamorphic terrain. Mineral assemblages in pelitic schists of this zone, all with quartz, sodic plagioclase, muscovite and clinozoisite (or zoisite), are garnet + biotite + chlorite + paragonite, garnet + biotite + hornblende + chlorite, and partial assemblages of these two types. Correlations between mineral compositions, mineral assemblages and mineral stability data assuming PH2O = Psolid suggests that metamorphic conditions of this zone are about 610 ± 25°C and 10 ± 1 kbar.
Based upon a comparative study of mineralogy and chemistry of pelitic schists in the oligoclase-biotite zone of the Sanbagawa terrain with those in the New Caledonia omphacite zone as an example of a typical high-pressure type of metamorphic belt and with those in a generalized'upper staurolite zone'as an example of a medium-pressure type of metamorphic belt, progressive assemblages within these three zones can be related by reactions such as:  相似文献

The metamorphic paragenesis of cordierite in pelitic rocks   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
A petrogenetic grid is constructed for mineral assemblages occurring in metapelitic rocks, particularly those involved in the paragenesis of cordierite. The most useful assemblages for estimating pressures and temperatures are staurolite-cordierite, cordierite-biotite-Al2SiO5 and cordierite-hypersthene. Cordierite is stable with kyanite, sillimanite or andalusite. At high pressures cordierite is Mg-rich so that pelitic rocks typically do not contain the phase. Cordierite is stable at temperatures less than 500° C but does not commonly appear in metapelitic rocks until the garnet-chlorite, chlorite-staurolite or chlorite-Al2SiO5 tie-lines are broken. At high metamorphic grades, the assemblage garnet-hypersthene-cordierite indicates relatively low pressures, and the assemblage hypersthene-cordierite-sillimanite relatively high pressures. It is clear however, that the absence of cordierite is of little use in characterizing a metamorphic facies unless an alternate mineral assemblage can be shown to be more stable.  相似文献

变质相平衡模拟是变质岩领域近几十年最重要的进展之一,它已经成为确定变质作用P-T-t轨迹和探索变质演化过程的有力工具。变质岩的矿物组合不但与其形成的温度(T)和压力(P)条件有关,而且受控于岩石的全岩成分(X)。但是变质岩通常是不均匀的并且往往保留两期以上的矿物组合,因此计算不同成分域或不同变质演化期次的有效全岩成分是模拟P-T视剖面图的核心问题之一。在中-低温变质岩中,石榴石变斑晶的生长会不断地将其核部成分"冻结"而不参与后续变质反应,这导致根据实测全岩成分计算的P-T视剖面图无法有效地模拟石榴石幔部或边部生长阶段的变质演化过程。"瑞利分馏法"和"球体积法"利用电子探针实测的石榴石成分环带可以模拟计算石榴石各个生长阶段所对应的有效全岩成分,本文推荐使用这两个方法来处理石榴石变斑晶的分馏效应问题。相比较而言,石榴石在高温变质岩中通常无法保留生长阶段的成分环带特征,这是因为石榴石成分在高温条件下会发生扩散再平衡,并同时与多数基质矿物达到热力学平衡,这时一般不需要考虑石榴石的分馏效应。但是高温变质岩通常会发生部分熔融并伴随熔体的迁移,进而改变岩石的有效全岩成分。因此,通过P-T视剖面图模拟熔体迁移前后的变质演化过程需要使用"相平衡法"计算迁移的熔体成分以及熔体迁移前后岩石的有效全岩成分。此外,后成合晶与反应边是变质岩中最常见的退变质反应结构,但是后成合晶或反应边中的矿物之间并未达到热力学平衡。这种情况需要结合岩相学观察和矿物成分,利用最小二乘法确定后成合晶或反应边中发生的平衡反应方程式,进而获取变质反应发生时的有效全岩成分并通过计算P-T视剖面图来估算退变质的温压条件。除此之外,岩石体系中三价铁(Fe2O3)和H2O含量的估算一直以来都是相平衡模拟研究中的难点,本文推荐使用P/T-X(Fe3+/FetotMH2O)视剖面图来确定这两个组分的含量,这是因为P/T-X图可以估算各个变质演化阶段或特定矿物组合的Fe2O3或H2O含量。  相似文献

浙西南八都杂岩早中生代泥质麻粒岩变质作用及构造意义   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
遂昌-大柘泥质麻粒岩出露于华夏地块东北部的浙西南八都杂岩中,该岩石保留了典型的减压反应结构.但其变质演化特点、变质作用时代及构造意义目前尚不明确.通过系统的岩相学、矿物化学和同位素年代学分析,结果表明遂昌-大柘泥质麻粒岩记录了4个阶段的变质矿物组合,其中早期进变质阶段M1的矿物组合为石榴石+黑云母+石英;压力峰期变质阶段M2的矿物组合为石榴石+铝绿泥石+金红石+蓝晶石+刚玉+黑云母+石英±十字石,该矿物组合可能预示着岩石曾经历了超高压变质作用过程;峰期变质阶段M3的矿物组合为石榴石+黑云母+夕线石+石英±钾长石±斜长石±钛铁矿;峰后近等温降压M4-1阶段的矿物组合为石榴石+黑云母+夕线石+堇青石+石英+钛铁矿±尖晶石±斜长石±钾长石;M4-2阶段的矿物组合为石榴石+堇青石+夕线石+斜长石+黑云母+石英±钾长石.相平衡模拟结合传统地质温压计限定其峰期变质阶段的温压条件为T=780~810 ℃、P=8.0~9.2 kbar;峰期后近等温降压的M4-1阶段的温压条件为T=780~860 ℃和P=5.7~6.0 kbar,M4-2阶段的温压条件为T=~700 ℃和P=~4.4 kbar,具有典型的顺时针近等温减压型P-T轨迹特征.LA-ICP-MS U-Pb定年结果表明其麻粒岩相变质作用时代为233.5~238.9 Ma.变质作用历史说明浙西南地体可能卷入了古特提斯洋域内印支-华南-华北板块之间的俯冲-碰撞过程,并经历了早中生代的麻粒岩相变质作用后快速折返至地表.   相似文献

Orthopyroxene‐rich quartz‐saturated granulites of the Strangways Range, Arunta Block, central Australia, record evidence of two high‐grade metamorphic events. Initial granulite facies metamorphism (M1, at c. 1.7 Ga) involved partial melting and migmatization culminating in conditions of 8.5 kbar and 850 °C. Preservation of the peak M1 mineral assemblages from these conditions indicates that most of the generated melt was lost from these rocks at or near peak metamorphic conditions. Subsequent reworking (M2, at c. 1.65 Ga) is characterized by intense deformation, the absence of partial melting and the development of orthopyroxene–sillimanite ± gedrite‐bearing mineral assemblages. Gedrite is only present in cordierite‐rich lithologies where it preferentially replaces M1 cordierite porphyroblasts. Pseudosection calculations indicate that M2 occurred at subsolidus fluid‐absent conditions (aH2o ~ 0.2) at 6–7.5 kbar and 670–720 °C. The mineral assemblages in the reworked rocks are consistent with closed system behaviour with respect to H2O subsequent to M1 melt loss. M2 reworking was primarily driven by increased temperature from the stable geotherm reached after cooling from M1 and deformation‐induced recrystallization and re‐equilibration, rather than rehydration from an externally derived fluid. The development of the M2 assemblages is strongly dependent on the intensity of deformation, not only for promoting equilibration, but also for equalizing the volume changes that result from metamorphic reactions. Calculations suggest that the protoliths of the orthopyroxene‐rich granulites were cordierite–orthoamphibole gneisses, rather than pelites, and that the unusual bulk compositions of these rocks were inherited from the protoliths. Melt loss is insufficient to account for the genesis of these rocks from more typical pelitic compositions. In quartz‐rich gneisses, however, melt loss along the M1 prograde path was able to modify the bulk rock composition sufficiently to stabilize peak metamorphic assemblages different from those that would have otherwise developed.  相似文献

The Portage Lake Lava Series of the Keweenaw Peninsula, northernMichigan, is composed of over 5000 m of tholeiitic lava flows.Chemical and petrologic study of thin undifferentiated flowsfrom this sequence shows that the bulk of the flows are olivinetholeiites; highly ironenriched tholeiites comprise up to 10per cent of the volume. In addition, a few small rhyolitic intrusives,exceedingly rich in alkalis, are exposed in the region. Duringburial the amygdular tops of each flow acted as channelwaysfor migrating fluids during a regional metamorphic event thatproduced a progressive sequence of secondary phases within theflow tops. In the upper part of the stratigraphic section, laumontite,analcime, albite, and chlorite dominate assemblages characteristicof the zeolite facies. Stratigraphically deeper. flow tops arecharacterized by metamorphic assemblages of the prehnite-pumpellyitefacies. Within the higher rank facies, rocks along fractureshave been transformed to calcium-rich monomineralic domains(metadomains) of epidote or pumpellyite. These metadomains gradeoutward through incompletely reconstituted rocks containingalbitized feldspars, and finally, in flow centers, to basaltdisplaying few signs of mineralogical readjustment. Extremechemical disparity exists within the altered flow tops, particularlywith respect to calcium and sodium content. Calculations revealthat bulk compositions of metamorphically adjusted flow topsare similar to unaltered basalts. Thus, the chemical variationdisplayed by the metamorphic rock types resulted from localizedmetamorphic differentiation. The Keweenawan sequence displays progressive dehydration fromthe top to the base of the stratigraphic section. At the topchlorite (H2O = 12 per cent) and pumpellyite (H2O = 6 per cent)metadomains formed by dehydration. The fact that most of theserocks were hydrated strongly suggests that fluid pressures wereless than total pressures during the metamorphic event. In rocksundergoing hydration in the uper part of the stratigraphic section,therefore, water pressures decreased away from channelways.As a result, the most hydrous rock types formed in these regions.Conversely, in rock undergoing dehydration water pressures increasedaway from channelwasys, so that the most dehydrated rocks formedin such regions. Water content of an individual rock is dependenton both position in the stratigraphic pile and position withrespect to fluid channelways.  相似文献
