The analysis of texture, major element and oxygen isotope compositions of cloudy garnet crystals from a metapelite sampled on Ikaria Island (Greece) is used to assess the model of growth and re‐equilibration of these garnet crystals and to reconstruct the pressure–temperature–fluid history of the sample. Garnet crystals show complex textural and chemical zoning. Garnet cores (100–200 μm) are devoid of fluid inclusions. They are characterized by growth zoning demonstrated by a bell‐shaped profile of spessartine component (7–3 mol.%), an increase in grossular from 14 to 22 mol.% and δ¹⁸O values between 9.5 ± 0.3‰ and 10.4 ± 0.2‰. Garnet inner rims (90–130 μm) are fluid inclusion‐rich and show a decreasing grossular component from 22 to 5 mol.%. The trend of the spessartine component observed in the inner rim allows two domains to be distinguished. In contrast to domain I, where the spessartine content shows the same trend as in the core, the spessartine content of domain II increases outwards from 2 to 14 mol.%. The δ¹⁸O values decrease towards the margins of the crystals to a lowest value of 7.4 ± 0.2‰. The outer rims (<10 μm) are devoid of fluid inclusions and have the same chemical composition as the outermost part of domain II of the inner rim. Garnet crystals underwent a four‐stage history. Stage 1: garnet growth during the prograde path in a closed system for oxygen. Garnet cores are remnants of this growth stage. Stage 2: garnet re‐equilibration by coupled dissolution–reprecipitation at the temperature peak (630 < T < 650 °C). This causes the creation of porosity as the coupled dissolution–reprecipitation process allows chemical (Ca) and isotopic (O) exchange between garnet inner rims and the matrix. The formation of the outer rim is related to the closure of porosity. Stage 3: garnet mode decreases during the early retrograde path, but garnet is still a stable phase. The resulting garnet composition is characterized by an increasing Mn content in the inner rim’s domain II caused by intracrystalline diffusion. Stage 4: dissolution of garnet during the late retrograde path as garnet is not a stable phase anymore. This last stage forms corroded garnet. This study shows that coupled dissolution–reprecipitation is a possible re‐equilibration process for garnet in metamorphic rocks and that intra‐mineral porosity is an efficient pathway for chemical and isotopic exchange between garnet and the matrix, even for otherwise slow diffusing elements.  相似文献   

P–T–t evidence for mechanisms of vertical tectonic motion in a contractional orogen: north-western US and Canadian Cordillera     

Whitney  Miller  & Paterson 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》1999,17(1):75-90

The >1800 km long Coast Mountains–North Cascades orogen of the Canadian Cordillera and north-western US developed as a continental magmatic arc. Metamorphic rocks in the orogen contain widespread evidence for burial of supracrustal rocks to depths of c. 40 km, followed by nearly isothermal decompression to depths of <10 km. Near many shallowly-emplaced, mid-Cretaceous plutons, low-pressure contact metamorphic effects were overprinted by high-pressure regional metamorphic minerals and textures, as evidenced by kyanite±staurolite pseudomorphs after andalusite in metapelitic rocks. Therefore, near-pluton rocks record the loading history of the orogen. Metapelitic rocks not associated with plutons only preserve evidence for high-pressure conditions and/or high-temperature decompression, as indicated, for example, by sillimanite and cordierite after kyanite and garnet, respectively. Petrological evidence for burial and decompression is therefore recorded in different rocks. Various regions of the orogen differ in timing of metamorphism, the overall shape of P–T paths and the relative timing and regional extent of the high-pressure event, but most of these data and observations are consistent with thrusting and/or pure shear thickening as primary loading mechanisms throughout the orogen, as opposed to magma-dominated loading. This interpretation is further supported by comparison with thermal models, which demonstrate that the P–T paths are consistent with simultaneous thrusting and folding at a high initial geothermal gradient (35–40 °C km^?1) in much of the orogen. A high geothermal gradient supports tectonic models invoking intra-arc contraction and suggests that magmatism played an important role in regional temperature-time paths. This tectonic-thermal history may be typical of other contractional orogens and illustrates the importance of large vertical displacement of crust in magmatic arcs.  相似文献   

Petrology and geothermobarometry of granulite facies metapelites from the Hisøy-Torungen area, south Norway: new data on the Sveconorvegian P–T–t path of the Bamble sector     

T.-L. KNUDSEN 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》1996,14(3):267-287

ABSTRACT The high-grade rocks (metapelite, quartzite, metagabbro) of the Hisøy-Torungen area represent the south-westernmost exposures of granulites in the Proterozoic Bamble sector, south Norway. The area is isoclinally folded and a metamorphic P–T–t path through four successive stages (M1-M4) is recognized. Petrological evidence for a prograde metamorphic event (M1) is obtained from relict staurolite + chlorite + albite, staurolite + hercynite + ilmenite, cordierite + sillimanite, fine-grained felsic material + quartz and hercynite + biotite ± sillimanite within metapelitic garnet. The phase relations are consistent with a pressure of 3.6 ± 0.5 kbar and temperatures up to 750–850°C. M1 is connected to the thermal effect of the gabbroic intrusions prior to the main (M2) Sveconorwegian granulite facies metamorphism. The main M2 granulite facies mineral assemblages (quartz+ plagioclase + K-feldspar + garnet + biotite ± sillimanite) are best preserved in the several-metre-wide Al-rich metapelites, which represent conditions of 5.9–9.1 kbar and 790–884°C. These P–T conditions are consistent with a temperature increase of 80–100°C relative to the adjacent amphibolite facies terranes. No accompanying pressure variations are recorded. Up to 1-mm-wide fine-grained felsic veinlets appear in several units and represent remnants of a former melt formed by the reaction: Bt + Sil + Qtz→Grt + lq. This dehydration reaction, together with the absence of large-scale migmatites in the area, suggests a very reduced water activity in the rocks and XH₂O = 0.25 in the C–O–H fluid system was calculated for a metapelitic unit. A low but variable water activity can best explain the presence or absence of fine-grained felsic material representing a former melt in the different granulitic metapelites. The strongly peraluminous composition of the felsic veinlets is due to the reaction: Grt +former melt ± Sil→Crd + Bt ± Qtz + H₂O, which has given poorly crystalline cordierite aggregates intergrown with well-crystalline biotite. The cordierite- and biotite-producing reaction constrains a steep first-stage retrograde (relative to M2) uplift path. Decimetre- to metre-wide, strongly banded metapelites (quartz + plagioclase + biotite + garnet ± sillimanite) inter-layered with quartzites are retrograded to (M3) amphibolite facies assemblages. A P–T estimate of 1.7–5.6 kbar, 516–581°C is obtained from geothermobarometry based on rim-rim analyses of garnet–biotite–plagioclase–sillimanite–quartz assemblages, and can be related to the isoclinal folding of the rocks. M4 greenschist facies conditions are most extensively developed in millimetre-wide chlorite-rich, calcite-bearing veins cutting the foliation.  相似文献   

Crust-mantle relationships in the French Variscan chain: the example of the Southern Monts du Lyonnais unit (eastern French Massif Central)     

V. GARDIEN  M. TEGYEY  J. M. LARDEAUX  M. MISSERI  E. DUFOUR 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》1990,8(5):477-492

Garnet lherzolite from the Lyonnais area (eastern French Massif Central) occurs as several lenses elongated within the regional foliation of garnet-biotite-sillimanite gneisses. Within the peridotites a mylonitic foliation can be observed which clearly is oblique to the regional foliation of the surrounding gneisses. Petrological and thermobarometric studies emphasize a tectonometamorphic re-equilibration for both crustal and mantle rocks characterized by a prograde metamorphic stage followed by retrograde evolution. During the burial stage, interpreted as lithospheric subduction, the peridotites underwent their mylonitic deformation, under high-pressure conditions (23–30 kbar). In contrast, the paragneisses have suffered their deformation during the retromorphic evolution under mesozonal conditions (6–8 kbar, 700°C). Our thermobarometric investigations allow us to interpret the granulitic/ultramafic association from the Monts du Lyonnais area as a lithospheric section buried into a Palaeozoic subduction zone, laminated during continental collision and uplifted by erosion processes.  相似文献   

Clasts of high-grade Sanbagawa schist in Middle Eocene conglomerates from the Kuma Group, central Shikoku, south-west Japan     

K. YOKOYAMA  T. ITAYA 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》1990,8(4):467-474

Middle Eocene conglomerates which overlie the Sanbagawa metamorphic rocks contain clasts of metamorphic rock with isotope ages of 120-85 Ma, which fall within the age range reported from the Sanbagawa metamorphic rocks. They were derived from the chlorite to oligoclase zones of the Sanbagawa metamorphic belt. Clasts of garnet amphibolite and oligoclase-biotite schist show a mineral assemblage similar to the highest grade Sanbagawa schists. However, the metamorphic temperatures estimated by various mineralogical thermometers show that some of the clasts were formed at higher temperatures than the in situ Sanbagawa metamorphic rocks. Such higher grade rocks were at the surface by the Middle Eocene and for the most part they have been eroded away. Cretaceous and post-Cretaceous sediments overlie, or are in fault contact with, the Sanbagawa metamorphic rocks which suggests that rocks in the belt were uplifted and eroded from the latest Cretaceous to Middle Eocene time after strike-slip movement along the Median Tectonic Line. Since the Middle Eocene, the belt has experienced relatively slow uplift which was locally around 2 km in central Shikoku.  相似文献   

Calibration of Infrared Absorption Coefficients for Structural Hydroxyl in Garnet by a Combined Study of Isotope Ratio Spectrometry and Vibrational Spectroscopy     

Lin Zhu  Ren-Xu Chen  Yong-Fei Zheng  Jing Wang  Bing Gong 《Geostandards and Geoanalytical Research》2023,47(1):105-124

An accurate determination of water content in garnet is critical to quantify the transport of water to the deep mantle by the subducted oceanic crust beyond the breakdown of hydrous phases. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is the most widely used approach to determine the species and contents of water in garnet. Accurate quantification of OH in garnet requires independent calibration using an external method, as OH absorbance is mineral and composition specific. To obtain the infrared absorption coefficients of structural hydroxyl in garnet, a combined study of spectrometric analyses by FTIR and a method combining a thermal conversion elemental analyser with isotope ratio mass spectrometry (TC/EA-MS) was carried out for fourteen gem-quality natural garnet crystals with variable compositions. The obtained molar absorption coefficients were 9322 ± 338 and 240 ± 26 l mol⁻¹ cm⁻² for grossular- and spessartine-rich garnet and pyrope-almandine garnet, respectively. These results are within the range of previous studies. A new molar absorption coefficient of 689 ± 177 l mol⁻¹ cm⁻² was obtained for pyrope-spessartine garnet. The large variation in the absorption coefficient indicates it is controlled by both garnet composition and OH-absorption bands. The obtained absorption coefficients are only appropriate for certain types of eclogitic garnet, and more studies should be carried out on eclogitic garnets.  相似文献

江西省石竹山硅灰石矿床位于钦杭成矿带东段的萍乐坳陷带内,是世界资源储量规模最大的硅灰石矿床。为了厘清区内成矿流体性质及进一步找矿潜力,本文根据矿物间的穿插关系和光学特征,将该矿床的石榴子石分为早(GrtⅠ)、晚(GrtⅡ)两个世代,在详细的野外工作基础上,利用电子探针(EMPA)和LA-ICP-MS原位微区分析技术,对石竹山矿床中的石榴子石开展了系统研究。结果表明,石竹山硅灰石矿床石榴子石属于钙铝榴石-钙铁榴石固溶体系列,早期形成的石榴子石(GrtⅠ)Fe含量更高,且震荡环带发育,而晚期形成的石榴子石(GrtⅡ)则发育复杂环带。石榴子石GrtⅠ和GrtⅡ都亏损大离子亲石元素K、Rb、Ba、Sr等,而Nb、Ta、Zr等高场强元素相对含量较高,U含量与∑REE成正比。GrtⅡ的∑REE较低(12.92×10^-6~21.12×10^-6),具有较平坦的稀土元素配分模式,轻微富集轻稀土元素(Ce、Pr、Nd、Sm),微弱负铕异常;GrtⅠ的∑REE相对较高(13.78×10^-6~73.52×10^-6),更富集轻稀土元素(Ce、Pr、Nd、Sm),呈右倾的稀土元素配分模式,负铕异常明显。推测石榴子石GrtⅠ形成于相对开放、水岩比值较高、高氧逸度的酸性体系中,GrtⅡ则形成于相对封闭、水岩比值较低、高氧逸度的中酸性体系中。此外,将石榴子石的端员组分和微量元素特征与国内外不同矿种的接触交代型金属矿床进行对比,结果显示该矿床存在成Cu、Fe、Mo矿体的潜力。  相似文献

华北克拉通北缘西部陆块早前寒武纪基底分布广泛,现有的研究普遍认为经历 2.5 Ga,2.45~2.37 Ga,1.95 Ga和1.85 Ga变质热事件影响。华北克拉通北缘阴山陆块中2.5 Ga的紫苏花岗岩研究已经成为了揭示华北克拉通北缘早前寒武纪构造演化的一个热点,但孔兹岩带中却鲜少有新太古代晚期构造热事件的相关报道。近年来,相继从大青山地区的孔兹岩带石榴黑云母片麻岩中分辨出一期具有2.45~2.37 Ga变质锆石年龄的大青山表壳岩,同时出露与其成因关系密切的深熔石榴花岗岩,但其深熔成因的模式存在争议。本文对大青山地区新发现的新太古代晚期紫苏花岗岩、石榴花岗岩及其围岩的野外空间产出关系和锆石年代学进行对比分析,为探究深熔石榴花岗岩成因模式提供重要的启示。  相似文献

为建立淡色花岗岩演化和稀有金属成矿的矿物学指标,本文选取了北喜马拉雅拉隆淡色花岗岩的石榴子石为研究对象,对其开展电子探针分析和矿物原位LA-ICP-MS微量分析,结果表明MnO含量从白云母花岗岩(12.42%~13.48%)到钠长石花岗岩(16.83%~22.09%)逐渐增高,白云母花岗岩石榴子石主要为铁铝榴石,钠长石花岗岩中石榴子石主要为锰铝榴石,其均为典型岩浆成因的石榴子石。石榴子石微量元素结果显示白云母花岗岩和钠长石花岗岩石榴子石稀土均呈现HREE富集、LREE亏损,Eu负异常的特征。从白云母花岗岩到钠长石花岗岩,石榴子石中Zn含量增加,Sc、Y和HREE等元素含量降低,特别是当HREE含量小于1000×10^-6时,稀有金属元素Be、Nb和Ta含量增加,标志着岩浆演化从正岩浆阶段进入了岩浆-热液过渡阶段。形成于岩浆-热液过渡阶段的锰铝榴石可以作为拉隆淡色花岗岩Be-Nb-Ta稀有金属矿化的矿物学指标,此外,石榴子石中Sc、Y和HREE等元素的变化也可以作为淡色花岗岩稀有金属矿化的判别标志。  相似文献

云南高松矿床中高峰山矿段和老厂矿床中竹叶山矿段分别是个旧超大型锡铜多金属矿集区发育的典型矽卡岩型锡、铜矿段。为查明个旧矿集区锡铜成矿环境的差异,文章选取上述2个矿段矽卡岩中的石榴子石为研究对象,根据产状和矿物共生关系将石榴子石分为与高峰山花岗岩有关早期（Grt-GS1）、晚期（Grt-GS2）、与竹叶山花岗岩有关（Grt-ZS）和与玄武岩有关（Grt-ZX）共4类。电子探针（EPMA）和激光剥蚀等离子质谱（LA-ICP-MS）分析表明：Grt-GS1(Adr_10.58-20.27Grs_38.62-48.28Spe_21.06-32.37Alm_11.88-18.03)成分复杂且变化范围较大,而Grt-GS2(Adr_48.09-69.73Grs_23.84-48.87Spe_3.29-9.58)和Grt-ZS (Adr_13.97-16.06Grs_78.08-79.71Spe_2.15-2.60)成分简单且变化小;稀土元素配分曲线均呈HREE富集、LREE亏损的“左倾型”,并具明显的负Eu异常。Grt-ZX成分简单且较均一(Adr_20.12-21.99Grs_70.84-71.44Pyr_6.29-7.92),稀土元素配分曲线呈HREE亏损、LREE富集的“右倾型”,呈明显的正Eu异常,且F、Cl、U、Th、Pb、V、Cr、Co、Ni、Zn、Ti等元素含量均高于其余3类石榴子石。所有石榴子石REE³⁺与Mg²⁺的正相关性表明,REE³⁺受[X²⁺]Ⅷ-1[REE³⁺]Ⅷ+1[Y³⁺]Ⅳ-1[Y²⁺]Ⅳ+1替换机制的控制,REE³⁺主要替代Mg²⁺进入石榴子石晶格。石榴子石的U、Sn含量及稀土元素配分特征指示：高峰山石榴子石（Grt-GS1和Grt-GS2）在演化过程中氧逸度明显升高、竹叶山石榴子石（Grt-ZS和Grt-ZX）形成的氧逸度总体高于高峰山,但Grt-ZX形成时氧逸度低于Grt-ZS。稀土元素特征显示：Grt-GS1、Grt-GS2与Grt-ZS均形成于弱酸性环境,而Grt-ZX形成于近中性且富F、Cl的环境下。∑REE³⁺与Y呈良好的正相关性和REE含量变化指示4类石榴子石均形成于封闭或近封闭的体系中,在接近平衡和低水岩比的条件中受扩散交代作用缓慢生长而形成。综合研究表明,玄武岩对成矿的影响在于改变了流体性质,为成矿提供了大量微量元素（如Co、Ni、V、Cr等）和有利于成矿离子运移和富集的卤族元素（如F、Cl）,而高峰山矿段锡富集的原因可能是在演化过程中水岩反应的加强和氧逸度的升高。  相似文献
