The microtextures of stishovite and coesite in shocked non-porous lithic clasts from suevite of the Ries impact structure
were studied in transmitted light and under the scanning electron microscope. Both high-pressure silica phases were identified
in situ by laser-Raman spectroscopy. They formed from silica melt as well as by solid-state transformation. In weakly shocked
rocks (stage I), fine-grained stishovite (≤1.8 μm) occurs in thin pseudotachylite veins of quartz-rich rocks, where it obviously
nucleated from high-pressure frictional melts. Generally no stishovite was found in planar deformation features (PDFs) within
grains of rock-forming quartz. The single exception is a highly shocked quartz grain, trapped between a pseudotachylite vein
and a large ilmenite grain, in which stishovite occurs within two sets of lamellae. It is assumed that in this case the small
stishovite grains formed by the interplay of conductive heating and shock reverberation. In strongly shocked rocks (stages
Ib–III, above ∼30 GPa), grains of former quartz typically contain abundant and variably sized stishovite (<6 μm) embedded
within a dense amorphous silica phase in the interstices between PDFs. The formation of transparent diaplectic glass in adjacent
domains results from the breakdown of stishovite and the transformation of the dense amorphous phase and PDFs to diaplectic
glass in the solid state. Coesite formed during unloading occurs in two textural varieties. Granular micrometre-sized coesite
occurs embedded in silica melt glass along former fractures and grain boundaries. These former high-pressure melt pockets
are surrounded by diaplectic glass or by domains consisting of microcrystalline coesite and earlier formed stishovite. The
latter is mostly replaced by amorphous silica. 相似文献

We have investigated by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) the planar deformation features(PDF) in quartz from various sites where shock metamorphism has been detected optically: impact sites; the Vredefort complex (South Africa) and the K/T boundary at Raton Basin (Colorado). PDFs are straight narrow bands of glass or microtwins or huge densities of dislocations. Such contrasting microstructures must reflect different shock scenarios. In the Vredefort complex the post-shock thermal history has strongly overprinted the shock-induced defects. In the Raton Basin samples very tiny bubbles have precipitated on the dislocations, strongly suggesting a lengthy annealing at moderate pressure and temperature. This new information should be taken into account in any model of the origin of the K/T transition. In any case, observation of PDFs by optical microscopy alone is not sufficient to unambiguously conclude on their origin. 相似文献

Hypotheses proposed to explain the origin of pseudotachylite bodies formed during impact cratering include: (1) frictional heating, (2) shock loading, (3) decompression or (4) drainage of impact melt into target rocks. In order to differentiate among these processes, we conducted detailed geochemical and petrographic analysis of the matrices in pseudotachylitic veins and dikes and of their respective wall rocks. Our analyses indicate that the chemical compositions of matrices locally deviate significantly from their immediate wall rocks and that assimilation of wall rock has substantially modified the pseudotachylite matrix compositions in places. Variable magnitudes of assimilation can be explained by the surface area of wall rock or its fragments in contact with melt, as well as the initial temperature and cooling rate of the pseudotachylitic melt. Chemical trends observed can be explained either by admixture of an exotic melt component with immediate wall rock or by mixing of melts derived from local lithologies. Trends in the compositional deviation of centimetre to metre-wide pseudotachylite dikes from their immediate wall rocks are consistent with the presence of a primary melt component having granitoid composition akin to the average composition of Vredefort Granophyre dikes. Within veins, melt transport can be geochemically and petrographically traced for distances of centimetres to metres, with the direction of melt transport from larger pseudotachylite veins toward smaller ones and into apophyses. Sulphide and silicate mineralogy indicates that the initial temperature of pseudotachylitic melt must have been at least 1200-1700 °C. Collectively, these characteristics point to an allochthonous origin of pseudotachylitic melt. We advocate the possibility that impact melt from the initially superheated impact melt sheet contributed to the formation of pseudotachylite bodies at Vredefort. 相似文献

One unshocked and 9 naturally shocked single quartz crystal grains with 1–6 sets of shock lamellae from the Ries, West Germany, and the Lake Lappajärvi, Finland, covering a range from unshocked quartz withNo = 1.544 to nearly completely glassy quartz withNo = 1.461 have been used for X-ray precession and Laue investigations. Four of the shocked grains have preliminarily been studied under a transmission electron microscope. It is found that quartz havingNo less than 1.539 shows intensive anisotropic cell expansion and lattice disordering which gradually increase asNo decreases. Shock-induced lattice distortion of quartz is clearly shown on both precession and Laue photographs. For the weakly shocked quartz (p < 200 kb) slight to pronounced spreading of spots is observed. When the pressure reaches 200 kb, both concentric spreading of spots having long ‘tails’ and concentric rings (powder pattern) are revealed on the same photograph, which means that besides a part of single crystal there also exist randomly oriented tiny ‘fragments’ of quartz in this shocked quartz grain. As pressure increases from 230 to 315 kb, more and more crystalline puases in the quartz grains have transformed from solid state into silica glass, and the concentric rings and the long ‘tails’ disappear and the spot spreading becomes slight again, but reflection intensities become much lower in comparison with those of weakly shocked quartz. TEM investigations show three kinds of substructures of shock lamellae. The glass contents of two of the four grains (73% and 84% respectively) were measured on TEM photographs with the help of an image analysis system. On the basis of above investigations a six-terminal-state model for the mechanism of deformation in shock metamorphosed quartz is presented. 相似文献

Submicroscopic opaque particles from highly shocked granite-gneisses close to the core of the Vredefort impact structure
have been investigated by means of micro-analytical techniques with high spatial resolution such as electron diffraction,
orientation contrast imagery and magnetic force microscopy. The opaque particles have been identified as nano- to micro-sized
magnetite that occur in several distinct modes. In one sample magnetite occurs along relict planar deformation features (PDFs)
in quartz, generally accepted as typical shock lamellae. The magnetite particles along shock lamellae in quartz grains virtually
all show uniform crystallographic orientations. In most instances, the groups of magnetite within different quartz grains
are systematically misorientated such that they share a subparallel <101> direction. The magnetite groups of all measured
quartz grains thus appear to have a crystallographic preferred orientation in space. In a second sample, orientations of magnetite
particles have been measured in microfractures (non-diagnostic of shock) of quartz, albite and in the alteration halos, (e.g.
biotite grains breaking down to chlorite). The crystallographic orientations of magnetite particles are diverse, with only
a minor portion having a preferred orientation. Scanning electron microscopy shows that magnetite along the relict PDFs is
invariably associated with other microcrystalline phases such as quartz, K-feldspar and biotite. Petrographic observations
suggest that these microcrystalline phases crystallized from locally formed micro-melts that intruded zones of weakness such
as microfractures and PDFs shortly after the shock event. The extremely narrow widths of the PDFs suggest that heat may have
dissipated rapidly resulting in melts crystallizing relatively close to where they were generated. Magnetic force microscopy
confirms the presence of magnetic particles along PDFs. The smallest particles, <5 μm with high aspect ratios 15:1 usually
exhibit intense, uniform magnetic signals characteristic of single-domain magnetite. Consistent offsets between attractive
and repulsive magnetic signals of individual single-domain particles suggest consistent directions of magnetization for a
large proportion of particles.

Two moderately shocked rock samples collected from the Ries Crater, West Germany (granite—gneiss sample RC-647-29 and biotite-granite sample RP-627-55) and two weakly shocked pegmatite samples (Lj-711-12 and Lj-711-5) taken from Lake Lappajarvi, Finland, have been optically studied to establish the variation range of optical constants and distribution characteristics of shock lamellae in shocked quartz. It has been found that sample RC-647-29 contains shocked quartz grains with the average refractive index ranging from 1.4612 to 1.5331, and sample RP-627-55 from 1.5002 to 1.4669, i.e., they cover a wide range of shock pressures. As for the larger quartz grains in samples Lj-711-12 and Lj-711-5, the variation range of the average refractive indices are smaller than those of samples from the Ries Crater. Hence the estimation of degree of shock must est with the investigation of a set of representative shocked quartz crystals from a single shocked rock sample. The optical data on shocked quartz indicate that the degree of shock is highly independent of the number of shock lamellae sets and their orientations; the most sensitive optical indicator is the index of refraction. On the basis of TEM investigations of single crystal grains of shocked quartz differing in refractive index, three mechanisms of formation of shock lamellae have been established: host quartz crystals with lamellae having closely spaced dislocations; host quartz crystals with lamellae of randomly oriented fine grains of quartz; and host quartz crystals or their residual fragments with lamellae of silica glass. 相似文献

Former idioblastic garnet crystals of an Archaean granulite with Mg/(Mg+Fe+Mn)-ratios (= M) near 0.40 were converted to symplectitic pseudomorphs consisting mainly of cordierite (M=0.61), orthopyroxene (M=0.40), and a relic garnet with a new composition (M=0.18), during a static metamorphism which is related in time to the Vredefort event. On the basis of experimental data for the continuous reaction garnet+quartz=orthopyroxene+cordierite the conditions of metamorphism were near 5 kb, 700 °C. Orthopyroxenes crystallized initially as minute, myrmekitic grains with metastable excess Al contents up to 13 mol% Al2O3 and, through grain growth and Al exsolution, transformed into dense aggregates of coarser crystals with equilibrated compositions near 3 mol% Al2O3. In the absence of free silica hercynitic spinel appears as an additional phase that coexists with cordierite, orthopyroxene, and garnet of more magnesian compositions than in the case of silica saturation.Pseudotachylite veins crosscutting the hornfelsed granulite consist of pyroxene of variable Al contents, two feldspars, opaques, and quartz, and are finely recrystallized. There is textural and mineral chemical evidence from both the Al-contents of the pyroxenes and the Mg/Fe distribution among the phases adjacent to the pseudotachylite that these veins were emplaced late during the static metamorphism, which was probably caused by a local, deep-seated magma diapir. On this basis, the meteorite impact hypothesis for the origin of the Vredefort Structure is considered less likely than a mechanism of internal origin which can be made responsible for the close link in time and space between static metamorphism and the high strain rate deformation that produced the pseudotachylite. 相似文献

蛇绿岩地幔岩中自由SiO2的发现及其地质意义 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
自由SiO_2系指石英及其同质多型物(polymorphs)柯石英、斯石英等。石英广泛分布于地壳中的各种岩石中,柯石英和斯石英只存在于超高压岩石和陨石坑中。由于石英和非饱和SiO_2的橄榄石不能共生,因此在地幔橄榄岩和超镁铁岩中不存在原生石英。最近笔者在西藏罗布莎蛇绿岩的地幔岩(方辉橄榄岩)的豆荚状铬铁矿中发现了自由SiO_2和柯石英相。根据高温高压相平衡实验资料,橄榄石、辉石这样的硅酸盐矿物在地幔深部的压力条件下可以分解成简单氧化物,如FeO(方铁矿)、MgO(方镁石)以及SiO_2(斯石英)等。由此推测,西藏蛇绿岩地幔岩中自由SiO_2可能是来自于下地幔的矿物,是地幔柱作用将其搬运到上地幔浅部。 相似文献

Transmission electron microscopy was used for characterizing the defect microstructure induced by shock experiments in a single crystal of diopside. The shock-induced defects found in the crystal can be divided in four distinct types:
- A high density and pervasive distribution of dislocations in glide configuration (glide systems (100)[0
- Mechanical twin lamellae, mostly parallel to (100), the (001) twin lamellae are less abundant. li]3)
- Heterogeneously distributed tiny molten zones (3 to 20 μm size) which, after cooling, appear as a glass with a chemical composition very close to the one of the original diopside.

Identifying and dating large impact structures is challenging, as many of the traditional shock indicator phases can be modified by post-impact processes. Refractory accessory phases, such as zircon, while faithful recorders of shock wave passage, commonly respond with partial U–Pb age resetting during impact events. Titanite is an accessory phase with lower Pb closure temperature than many other robust chronometers, but its potential as indicator and chronometer of impact-related processes remains poorly constrained. In this study, we examined titanite grains from the Sudbury (Ontario, Canada) and Vredefort (South Africa) impact structures, combining quantitative microstructural and U–Pb dating techniques. Titanite grains from both craters host planar microstructures and microtwins that show a common twin–host disorientation relationship of 74° about <102>. In the Vredefort impact structure, the microtwins deformed internally and developed high- and low-angle grain boundaries that resulted in the growth of neoblastic crystallites. U–Pb isotopic dating of magmatic titanite grains with deformation microtwins from the Sudbury impact structure yielded a 207Pb/206Pb age of 1851?±?12 Ma that records either the shock heating or the crater modification stage of the impact event. The titanite grains from the Vredefort impact structure yielded primarily pre-impact ages recording the cooling of the ultra-high-temperature Ventersdorp event, but domains with microtwins or planar microstructures show evidence of U–Pb isotopic disturbance. Despite that the identified microtwins are not diagnostic of shock-metamorphic processes, our contribution demonstrates that titanite has great potential to inform studies of the terrestrial impact crater record. 相似文献

The long prism/needle‐shaped polycrystalline quartz aggregates and square/parallelogram‐shaped singlephase quartz inclusions in omphacite and garnet of ultrahigh pressure eclogite were first discovered from the Jiangalesayi area, South Altyn UHP belt. Based on their morphology, these quartz inclusions are quartz paramorphs after stishovite. The minimum peak pressure of the eclogite is estimated to be >8–9 GPa at 800– 1000 °C based on the stability field of stishovite. This new evidence, together with previous stishovite exsolution microstructure in the gneiss from the same region, suggests an ultra‐deep subduction and exhumation of the South Altyn continental rocks to/from mantle depths in stishovite stability field. Evidence of ultra‐deep subduction of continental materials might be more common and diverse than previous thought. Exhumation of subducted continental rocks from≥300 km has been considered impossible because they are denser than mantle at these depths. How did the stishovite bearing continental rocks of the South Altyn exhumated? As we all know, the densities of stishovite (4.3 g/cm3) are much higher than coesite (2.9 g/cm3), and stishovite transforms into coesite with temperature increases. Density calculations were performed for subducted continental rocks along phase transition of stishovite to coesite, using the third‐order Birch‐Murnaghan equation of state based on mineral fractions obtained from experiments and Perple_X. The results show that the density of Siliceous rocks decrease remarkably, lower than the surrounding mantle in coesite stability field, whereas the density of Oligosiliceous and Silicon unsaturated rocks is higher than surrounding mantle. Thus, we propose that the thermal induced transformation could provide an initial driven force for the exhumation of ultra‐deep subducted silica‐enriched felsic continental rocks. Temperature increase could be derived from an increased geothermal gradient from convective mantle or mantle plume. Mafic to ultra‐mafic rocks and silica‐deficient rocks may be captured by the upwelling subducted continental rocks and exhumated together. 相似文献

To understand the preservation of coesite inclusions in ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks, an integrated petrological, Raman spectroscopic and focussed ion beam (FIB) system–transmission electron microscope (TEM) study was performed on a UHP kyanite eclogite from the Sulu belt in eastern China. Coesite grains have been observed only as rare inclusions in kyanite from the outer segment of garnet and in the matrix. Raman mapping analysis shows that a coesite inclusion in kyanite from the garnet rim records an anisotropic residual stress and retains a maximum residual pressure of ~0.35 GPa. TEM observations show quartz is absent from the coesite inclusion–host kyanite grain boundaries. Numerous dislocations and sub‐grain boundaries are present in the kyanite, but dislocations are not confirmed in the coesite. In particular, dislocations concentrate in the kyanite adjacent to the boundary with the coesite inclusion, and they form a dislocation concentration zone with a dislocation density of ~109 cm?2. A high‐resolution TEM image and a fast Fourier transform‐filtered image reveal that a tiny dislocation in the dislocation concentration zone is composed of multiple edge dislocations. The estimated dislocation density in most of the kyanite away from the coesite inclusion–host kyanite grain boundaries is ~108 cm?2, being lower than that in kyanite adjacent to the coesite. In the case of a coesite inclusion in a matrix kyanite, using Raman and TEM analyses, we could not identify any quartz at the grain boundaries. Dislocations are not observed in the coesite, but numerous dislocations and stacking faults are developed in the kyanite. The estimated overall dislocation density in the coesite‐bearing matrix kyanite is ~108 cm?2, but a high dislocation density region of ~109 cm?2 is also present near the coesite inclusion–host kyanite grain boundaries. Inclusion and matrix kyanite grains with no coesite have dislocation densities of ≤108 cm?2. Dislocation density is generally reduced during an annealing process, but our results show that not all dislocations in the kyanite have recovered uniformly during exhumation of the UHP rocks. Hence, one of the key factors acting as a buffer to inhibit the coesite to quartz transformation is the mechanical interaction between the host and the inclusion that lead to the formation of dislocations in the kyanite. The kyanite acts as an excellent pressure container that can preserve coesite during the decompression of rocks from UHP conditions. The search for and study of inclusions in kyanite may be a more suitable approach for tracing the spatial distribution of UHP metamorphic rocks. 相似文献

The metamorphic history of the Vredefort dome at approximately 2 Ga as revealed by coesite-stishovite-bearing pseudotachylites 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
J. E. J. MARTINI 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》1992,10(4):517-527
The Vredefort dome (2.0 Ga) represents the central uplift of a very large impact structure. This uplift exposed a nearly complete cross-section through the continental crust in the region, which is 25–30 km thick. Two metamorphic events took place at about the same time as the impact. The first event, so-called static metamorphism, is pre-impact and produced lithologies varying from low-grade shale to high-grade hornfels. It resembles contact metamorphism by its lack of schistosity, but is more regional as it extends over a large area and is not associated with large intrusions.
The second event, the post-shock metamorphism, is responsible for the recrystallization of the shock features. The investigation of this event has been focused on the degree of alteration of the coesite-stishovite-bearing pseudotachylite veins that formed during the transit of the shock wave. These high-pressure silica polymorphs are only present in the upper part of the stratigraphic sequence; downward they have been converted to fibrous quartz. At the highest grade, the fibrous quartz is in turn replaced by triple-junctioned mosaic quartz. The post-shock metamorphism was generated by the heat of the rock before shock, plus the heat released by the shock wave. The isograds, plotted on a map, can be translated into depth of burial and therefore provide valuable information regarding the geological setting immediately before impact. At the time of impact, the rocks were relatively cool and the static metamorphism had ceased with several tens of millions of years separating the two metamorphic events. The static metamorphism was probably caused by continental crustal extension in a stress-free environment and the lack of deformation is probably due to rapid uplift during the later stages of the impact event. 相似文献

29Si nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was used to characterize the silica phases in a moderately-shocked Coconino
sandstone from Meteor Crater, Arizona. The spectra were recorded using direct polarization, magic-angle spinning, and variable
delay times in a saturation recovery pulse sequence. Resonances observed at -97.3, -107.1, -113.9 and -191.2 ppm were assigned
to a densified hydrous form of amorphous silica (D phase), quartz, coesite and stishovite phases, respectively. The relative
percentages were estimated as 1.7, 80.6, 16.4 and 1.3% for the D, quartz, coesite, and stishovite phases. The power-law recoveries
of the magnetization for the quartz and coesite phases can be interpreted in terms of their phase geometries.

Accurate interatomic potentials have been employed to compute the phonon density of states of αquartz, stishovite and coesite polymorphs of silica. The temperature variation of several thermodynamic properties is calculated by using the phonon density of states to describe the vibrational entropy contribution to the free energy. Results for these polymorphs are in surprisingly good agreement with available experimental data. Moreover, the microscopic origin of quantitative differences in the heat capacity behavior of low and high density polymorphs is established. 相似文献

太湖现代沉积物中发育大量各种形态的菱铁矿结核和褐铁矿结核。前者的矿物组成以菱铁矿为主,后者以针铁矿及纤铁矿为主,结核中混有陆源碎屑、黏土和大量各种水生植物碎片、细胞、花粉、植物蛋白石、少量动物介壳碎片以及大量细菌,表明铁质结核的形成与生物有关。菱铁矿结核形成于太湖现代沉积泥层较下部的封闭还原环境中,不同形状的菱铁矿结核的14C测年证明其形成于不同年代。褐铁矿结核形成于沉积泥层上部的氧化环境中,细菌起了关键作用。二者均为沉积成岩作用的产物。 太湖的形成机制一直存在广泛争议,其中“陨石撞击说”最受关注。王鹤年等（2009）把前述的菱铁矿结核、褐铁矿结核、甚至黄土层中的钙结核当成“冲击坑溅射物”,并将之作为太湖形成于陨石撞击的确凿证据。陨石撞击地球是一种近乎瞬间的冲击变质作用,其相应的特征产物有:柯石英、斯石英,矿物中的变形页理和撞击玻璃（撞击岩）。迄今为止,在太湖及周边地区还没有发现石英的高压矿物相。观察到的石英砂岩中的石英变形纹是较低应力作用的产物,在沉积岩中常见,与冲击变质作用无关。太湖湖底平坦,水深不超过3 m,沉积层仅厚2 m,与陨石撞击造成的陨石坑地形特征不符。从沉积学的角度来看太湖形成的“洪水淹没说”更有说服力,不仅符合沉积物特征和沉积物年龄,也有考古学遗迹和史料的佐证。 相似文献

Atransmission electron microscope (TEM) study of quartz-coesite inclusions in garnet in crustal rocks from the Western Alps is presented. Coesite shows a low dislocation density (<107 cm?2), and quartz a higher density of defects, Brasil twins (104 cm?1) and dislocations (108 cm?2). It is concluded that coesite has been not or only slightly plastically deformed and that the yield strength of coesite is higher than that of quartz. The large scale deformation implications are briefly discussed. TEM observations show no systematic topotactic relationship between the two polymorphs and their boundaries have a scalloped morphology which suggests that growth of quartz from coesite was controlled by a diffusion process. 相似文献

Coarse-grained whiteschist, containing the assemblage: garnet+kyanite+phengite+talc+quartz/coesite, is an abundant constituent of the ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic (UHPM) belt in the Kulet region of the Kokchetav massif of Kazakhstan.
Garnet displays prograde compositional zonation, with decreasing spessartine and increasing pyrope components, from core to rim. Cores were recrystallized at T=380°C (inner) to 580°C (outer) at P<10 kbar (garnet–ilmenite geothermometry, margarite+quartz stability), and mantles at T=720–760°C and PH20=34–36 kbar (coesite+graphite stability, phengite geobarometer, KFMASH system reaction equilibria). Textural evidence indicates that rims grew during decompression and cooling, within the Qtz-stability field.
Silica inclusions (quartz and/or coesite) of various textural types within garnets display a systematic zonal distribution. Cores contain abundant inclusions of euhedral quartz (type 1 inclusions). Inner mantle regions contain inclusions of polycrystalline quartz pseudomorphs after coesite (type 2), with minute dusty micro-inclusions of chlorite, and more rarely, talc and kyanite in their cores; intense radial and concentric fractures are well developed in the garnet. Intermediate mantle regions contain bimineralic inclusions with coesite cores and palisade quartz rims (type 3), which are also surrounded by radial fractures. Subhedral inclusions of pure coesite without quartz overgrowths or radial fractures (type 4) occur in the outer part of the mantle. Garnet rims are silica-inclusion-free.
Type 1 inclusions in garnet cores represent the low-P, low-T precursor stage to UHPM recrystallization, and attest to the persistence of low-P assemblages in the coesite-stability field. Coesites in inclusion types 2, 3, and 4 are interpreted to have sequentially crystallized by net transfer reaction (kyanite+talc=garnet+coesite+H2O), and were sequestered within the garnet with progressively decreasing amounts of intragranular aqueous fluid.
During the retrograde evolution of the rock, all three inclusion types diverged from the host garnet P–T path at the coesite–quartz equilibrium, and followed a trajectory parallel to the equilibrium boundary resulting in inclusion overpressure. Coesite in type 2 inclusions suffered rapid intragranular H2O-catalysed transformation to quartz, and ruptured the host garnet at about 600°C (when inclusion P27 kbar, garnet host P9 kbar). Instantaneous decompression to the host garnet P–T path, passed through the kyanite+talc=chlorite+quartz reaction equilibrium, resulting in the dusty micro-assemblage in inclusion cores. Type 3 inclusions suffered a lower volumetric proportion transformation to quartz at the coesite–quartz equilibrium, and finally underwent rupture and decompression when T<400°C, facilitating coesite preservation. Type 4 coesite inclusions are interpreted to have suffered minimal transformation to quartz and proceeded to surface temperature conditions along or near the coesite–quartz equilibrium boundary. 相似文献
