We report the first occurrence of poly-cyclic high-pressure low-temperature (HP-LT) rocks from the easternmost Indus-Yarlung suture zone, formed during subduction of Neo-Tethyan oceanic lithosphere. Petrology, mineral composition and P–T pseudosection modelling reveal two low-temperature eclogite facies metamorphic events with an initial high-pressure P–T condition of 16.4–18.7 kbar and 510–520°C, exhumation to 10.5–12.0 kbar and 580–590°C and a subsequent second high-pressure P–T condition of ~16 kbar and ~560°C and exhumation to ≤9 kbar and ≤600°C. This history implies a complex ‘yo-yo type’ P–T path. In situ monazite dating and textural relationships show that late-stage exhumation, cooling and garnet breakdown occurred at c. ~25–22 Ma. We interpret the first burial event to represent subduction of the Neo-Tethys Ocean at the eastern Indus-Yarlung suture zone. Initial exhumation, reburial and final exhumation represent material transport in a large-scale convective circulation system in the subduction channel. Convective overturn in the subduction channel evidently serves both as a mechanism to produce poly-cyclic metamorphism and to exhume LT eclogite facies rocks.  相似文献

安徽岳西菖蒲—碧溪岭地区出露两条北北西向的高压—超高压变质岩带:西带由土桥冲至菖蒲水电站,该带由层状硬玉石英岩类、大理岩及少量的石英深色榴辉岩以及浅色榴辉岩等组成;东带由小南山岭至碧溪岭,主要由层状的浅色榴辉岩系列和层状深色榴辉岩系列岩石组成。该区发育的层状浅色榴辉岩和层状的深色榴辉岩两种榴辉岩在岩石组合、矿物组合、矿物成分等方面有明显差别。浅色榴辉岩一般由硬玉质绿辉石(Jd 65～45)、+镁铝以及钙铝端元成分(Pyr+Gro,60±)的石榴子石+蓝晶石±多硅白云母±石英及次生的角闪石、绿帘石组成。其中夹有硬玉质绿辉石石英岩、富蓝晶石岩石、石榴子石岩和硬玉石榴白云片岩等岩石薄层。深色榴辉岩由绿辉石(Jd20～50)±富铁铝端元的石榴子石(Alm 50～60)+金红石±石英及次生的角闪石等组成。石英深色榴辉岩由绿辉石(Jd 40～45)+镁铝端元的石榴子石(Pyr 10～30)+石英+金红石及次生的角闪石、长石组成。深色榴辉岩与石榴橄榄岩分布上紧密相随。浅色榴辉岩的原岩为基性凝灰质沉积岩,相伴随的硬玉石英岩、硬玉岩、白云片岩的原岩大致分别为粉砂岩、长石砂岩、泥质粉砂岩;深色榴辉岩为基性凝灰质熔岩。大理岩的原岩为灰岩。同时,本文的研究表明,在相同的变质作用条件下,榴辉岩相岩石中石榴  相似文献
