Aragonite and magnesite in eclogites from the Jæren nappe,SW Norway: disequilibrium in the system CaCO3–MgCO3 and petrological implications     

M. A. SMIT  M. BRÖCKER  E. E. SCHERER 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》2008,26(9):959-979

Eclogites from the Jæren nappe in the Caledonian orogenic belt of SW Norway contain aragonite, magnesite and dolomite in quartz‐rich layers. The carbonates comprise composite grains that occur interstitially between phases of the eclogite facies assemblage: garnet + omphacite + zoisite + clinozoisite + quartz + apatite + rutile ± dolomite ± kyanite ± phengite. Pressure and temperature conditions for the main eclogite stage are estimated to be 2.3–2.8 GPa and 585–655 °C. Published ultrahigh pressure (UHP) experiments on CaO‐, MgO‐ and CO₂‐bearing systems have shown that equilibrium assemblages of aragonite and magnesite form as a result of dolomite breakdown at pressures >5 GPa. As a result, recognition of magnesite and aragonite in eclogite facies rocks has been used as an indicator for UHP conditions. However, petrological testing showed that the samples studied here have not experienced such conditions. Aragonite and magnesite show disequilibrium textures that indicate replacement of magnesite by aragonite. This process is inferred to have occurred via a coupled dissolution–precipitation reaction. The formation of aragonite is constrained to eclogite facies conditions, which implies that the studied rocks have experienced metasomatic, reactive fluid flow during their residence at high pressure (HP) conditions. During decompression, the bimineralic carbonate aggregates were overgrown by rims of dolomite, which partially reacted with aragonite to form Mg‐calcite. The well‐preserved carbonate assemblages and textures observed in the studied samples provide a detailed record of the reaction series that affected the rocks during and after their residence at P–T conditions near the coesite stability field. Recognition of the HP mechanism of magnesite replacement by aragonite provides new insight into metasomatic processes that occur in subduction zones and illustrates how fluids facilitate HP carbonate reactions that do not occur in dry systems at otherwise identical physiochemical conditions. This study documents that caution is warranted in interpreting aragonite‐magnesite associations in eclogite facies rocks as evidence for UHP metamorphic conditions.  相似文献   

超高压榴辉岩中高场强元素的分配——以大别山碧溪岭为例     

侯信高  刘磊 《地质学报》2022,96(11):3834-3848

本文通过对来自大别山中部碧溪岭地区的3块含柯石英榴辉岩中石榴子石、绿辉石以及角闪石进行主量、微量元素分析，研究了榴辉岩中微量元素，特别是高场强元素在峰期变质作用阶段以及随后的角闪岩相退变质作用阶段的分配特征。榴辉岩中代表峰期变质作用的石榴子石与绿辉石颗粒的δEu呈现出相关性，线性拟合斜率为0.75，与前人结论相似，说明微量元素在它们之间的分配达到平衡。绿辉石颗粒中的Na2O含量(6.14%~7.92%)和硬玉组分含量(＞50%)较高，且通过石榴子石 单斜辉石地质温度计得到平均变质温度为T=699℃，表明这些绿辉石属于超高压榴辉岩相原生矿物。在超高压变质作用过程中，Zr (Kd=0.18~0.91)倾向于进入石榴子石，而Hf (Kd=0.60~3.92)相对于Zr更倾向于进入绿辉石。绿辉石中高场强元素(Zr)的含量与Mg、Fe2+含量之和呈正相关，说明Zr在绿辉石中占据八面体M1位置。Zr在绿辉石中的含量与硬玉组分含量呈负相关性，其原因为伴随着硬玉含量降低，绿辉石中M1 O键长缩短从而更适合Zr进入。而中阿尔卑斯地区幔源榴辉岩中绿辉石的硬玉含量较低(28.4%~42.8%)，碧溪岭地区榴辉岩中绿辉石的硬玉含量较高(44%~55%)。这解释了中阿尔卑斯地区幔源榴辉岩捕虏体中Zr倾向于进入绿辉石，而大别山地区榴辉岩中Zr倾向于进入石榴子石的原因，也说明了寄主矿物的化学成分是影响高场强元素分配行为的主要因素。具有明显转变关系的绿辉石与角闪石的微量元素组成表明，在角闪岩相退变质阶段，绿辉石中轻稀土元素与重稀土元素发生明显分异，其中轻稀土元素倾向于进入次生角闪石中，而重稀土元素则倾向于保存在绿辉石中。微量元素在角闪石与绿辉石之间虽然未达到平衡，但Zr、Ba倾向于进入角闪石而Sr倾向于保存在绿辉石中。  相似文献   

Metamorphism in the New England Orogen,eastern Australia: a review     

K. Jessop  N. R. Daczko  S. Piazolo 《Australian Journal of Earth Sciences》2020,67(4):453-478

Abstract

This paper summarises current knowledge on metamorphism within the entire New England Orogen (NEO) of eastern Australia. Rocks recording metamorphic assemblages characteristic of each of the three metamorphic facies series (high, medium and low P/T) have been identified within the orogen. These include high P/T blueschists and eclogites, mid P/T orogenic metamorphism and low P/T contact aureoles and sub-regional high-temperature–low-pressure (HTLP) metamorphism (regional aureoles). Metamorphism is described as it relates to six tectonic phases of development of the NEO that together comprise two major cycles of compression–extension. Medium–high-grade contact metamorphism spans all six tectonic phases while low-grade burial and/or orogenic metamorphism has been identified for four of the six phases. In contrast, exposure of high P/T eclogites and blueschists, and generation of sub-regional low P/T metamorphism is restricted to extensional phases of the orogen. Hallmarks of the orogen are two newly identified zones of HTLP metamorphism, the older of which extends for almost the entire length of the orogen.

1. KEY POINTS

2. The orogen is dominated by low-temperature rocks while high-temperature amphibolite to granulite facies rocks are restricted to small exposures in HTLP complexes and contact aureoles.

3. Blueschist metamorphism falls into two categories; that associated with subduction during the Currabubula-Connors continental arc phase occurring at depths of ～13–30?km; and the other of Cambrian–Ordovician age, exposed within a serpentinite melange and associated with blocks of eclogite. The eclogite, initially from depths of ～75–90?km, appears to have been entrained in the deep crust for an extended period of geological time.

4. A comprehensive review of contact metamorphism in the orogen is lacking and as studies on low-grade metamorphism are more extensive in the southern part of the orogen than the north, this highlights a second research gap.

U—Pb Dating of Marble Assoicated With Eclogite from the Dabie Mountains,East China   总被引：13，自引：0，他引：13  

Yongfei Zheng  Bin Fu  Bing Gong  Yilin Xiao  Ningjie Ge 《中国地球化学学报》1997,16(3):193-201

Marble is associated with ultrahigh pressure eclogite in the Dabie Mountains, East China. U-Pb isotope data for the marble define a²³⁸U-²⁰⁶Pb isochron age of 435 ± 45 Ma with an initial²⁰⁶Pb/²⁰⁴Pb value of 18.075 ± 0.006. The age of ∼435 Ma is interpreted to represent the time of limestone diagenesis rather than the time of metamorphic resetting accompanied by the formation of the ultrahigh pressure eclogites at Triassic. The paleontologic and stratigraphic studies also favor a local excursion in the carbon isotopic composition of the latest Ordovician water within a sedimentary basin between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze cratons. Because the latest Ordovician limestone was involved in the eclogite formation, the continental collision between the Yangtze and Sino-Korean plates would postdate Ordovician. This project was financially supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China and the Chinese Academy of Sciences.  相似文献   

The kinematic history of the Singhbhum Shear Zone     

Sudipta Sengupta  S. K. Ghosh 《Journal of Earth System Science》1997,106(4):185-196

The progressive deformation of the Singhbhum Shear Zone (SSZ) involved the initiation of a mylonitic foliation, its deformation by three generations of reclined folds and superposition of two later groups of folds, i.e., a group of asymmetric folds with subhorizontal or gently plunging axes and a group of gentle and open, transverse and more or less upright folds. The occurrence of sheath folds and U-shaped deformed lineations indicate that the reclined folds were produced by rotation of fold hinges through large angles. The total displacement along the SSZ was compounded of displacements along numerous mesoscopic shear zones. The cleavages in the shear lenses and the mesoscopic shear zones cannot be distinguished as C and S surfaces. They have the same kinematic significance and were produced by ductile deformation, although there were localized discontinuous displacements along both sets,-of cleavages. A mylonitic foliation had formed before the development of the earliest recognizable folds. Its time of formation and folding could be synchronous, diachronous or partly overlapping in time in the different domains of the SSZ.  相似文献

印支期苏—鲁超高压榴辉岩带是初始欧亚板块东部大陆边缘在与古太平洋板块强烈挤压作用过程中,由黄海—苏东北地体A—型俯冲至上地幔形成的。其回返地表主要是在中—新生代由弧后扩张作用引起的地壳拉伸、增长、减薄过程中实现的。中—晚白垩世非造山的碱性花岗岩带与榴辉岩带的重叠、晚白垩世红色盆地、第三纪巨厚沉积岩系和新生代大陆裂谷带玄武岩等的形成和发育等种种地质证据表明俯冲至上地幔中的榴辉岩带后来被向上拉伸至地表的。  相似文献   

大别山北部镁铁-超镁铁质岩带中榴辉岩的分布与变质温压条件   总被引：27，自引：3，他引：27

大别山北部镁铁-超镁铁质岩带中的榴辉岩主要有两种产状,一是产于变形较强(面理化)的橄榄岩中,另一种是产于片麻岩中。其中,绿辉石中硬玉端元组分大多为Jd=20mol％～52mol％。产于橄榄岩和片麻岩中榴辉岩的石榴子石成分分别相当于Coleman的B型和C型榴辉岩。石榴子石成分特征及钠质单斜辉石中石英针状出溶体的出现表明,本区榴辉岩早期可能经历过超高压变质作用,且至少经历了3个变质阶段,即:①榴辉岩相峰期变质阶段,主要矿物共生组合为石榴子石+绿辉石+金红石±蓝晶石+石英(或柯石英假象?),p≥2.5GPa、t=595～874℃;②高压麻粒岩相变质阶段,主要矿物共生组合为石榴子石+透辉石+紫苏辉石+钛铁矿+尖晶石+斜长石等,p=1.1～1.37GPa、t=817～909℃;③角闪岩相变质阶段,主要矿物共生组合为角闪石+斜长石+磁铁矿等,p=0.5～0.6GPa、t=500～600℃。该区榴辉岩独特的麻粒岩相退变质阶段,表明榴辉岩在折返初期并未能上升到中上地壳,而处于下地壳,它与南部超高压变质岩有不同的p-t演化史,即在榴辉岩相峰期变质之后经历了近等温减压(或稍升温减压)和降温减压变质过程。  相似文献

确定超高压高压岩体的大小、分布、构造关系及变质演化，是理解超高压变质岩形成和折返动力学过程的关键。在大别－苏鲁超高压变质带内，榴辉岩及变质的镁铁质－超镁铁质岩石，一般成厘米至公里尺度的布丁或透镜体，散布于片麻岩及面理化含榴花岗岩内。区域系统性的岩石学及构造学观察，尤其是在安徽省碧溪岭区1：1万比例尺的精细制图中证实，榴辉岩及其它超高压变质岩透镜体群的形成，主要是多期及递进变形分解作用的结果，造成了网络状线形强应变带与透镜状弱应变域流变学组合型式。榴辉岩与围岩片麻岩的过渡关系也证实，超高压变质的榴辉岩体是“原地”形成的。榴辉岩体的形态、大小及空间分布规律特征，不支持超高压变质带岩石属构造混杂岩的推论，而是反映了超高压及角闪岩相条件下不均匀韧性流动的应变图像。  相似文献   

苏鲁造山带东部荣成榴辉岩中蓝晶石及绿辉石的分解——一种可能的新成因解释     

杨天南  张子军 《岩石矿物学杂志》2001,20(1):21-28

在麻粒岩相条件下，荣成含蓝晶石榴辉岩发生退变质，其中的绿辉石退变质成透辉石＋中长石组成的后成合晶，蓝晶石大部分被冠状体取代，基于详细探针分析结果的成分迁移估算显示，冠状体的形成需要从绿辉石的分解中获取CaO,MgO,FeO，绿辉石的分解包含两个反应：一个为绿辉石中的硬玉分子与石英结合形成钠长石；另一个发生在绿辉石内部各端员组分之间，后者不但形成后成合晶，而且为蓝晶石周围冠状体的形成提供CaO,MgO,FeO，蓝晶石的分解未能给后成合晶的形成提供SiO2，绿辉石与蓝晶石在分解时并冰形成一个封闭体系，它们均从周围环境中获取SiO2。  相似文献
