Prograde reactions and garnet zoning reversals in staurolite schist, British Columbia: significance for thermobarometric interpretations     

D. L. WHITNEY  E. D. GHENT 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》1993,11(6):779-788

Abstract An outcrop of staurolite-bearing pelitic schist from the Solitude Range in the south-western Rocky Mountains, British Columbia, was examined in order to determine the nature of prograde garnet- and staurolite-producing reactions using information from garnet zoning and inclusion mineralogy. Although not present as a matrix phase, chloritoid is present as inclusions in garnet and is interpreted to have participated in the simultaneous growth of garnet and staurolite by a reaction such as chloritoid + quartz = garnet + staurolite + H₂O.
A garnet zoning trend reversal, which is most pronounced with respect to almandine and grossular components, is present in the outer core of garnets. The location of the zoning reversal corresponds to the outer limit of chloritoid inclusions in garnet. As there is no evidence for polymetamorphism, the zoning reversal is interpreted to indicate continued garnet growth by prograde reaction(s) during a single metamorphic event after the exhaustion of chloritoid as a matrix phase.
Metamorphic conditions recorded by mineral rim compositions are 550–600° C at 6–7 kbar. Because there is no evidence for partial resorption of garnet during production of staurolite, we interpret these results to represent peak conditions.  相似文献   

The influence of intense rainfall on the activity of large-scale crystalline schist landslides in Shikoku Island, Japan   总被引：4，自引：3，他引：4

Many large landslides in the crystalline schist region of Shikoku Island, Japan, are susceptible to intense rainfall. Through the use of on-site monitoring systems, the activity of landslides and their meteorological triggers can be assessed. Continuous high-intensity rainfall was found to play a key role in provoking landslide movement. This paper investigates the influence of intense rainfall on the activity of crystalline schist landslides by examining rainfall and displacement of four typical landslides. By defining and calculating the effective rainfall and the relative landslide displacement, the relationship between intense rainfall and rainfall-induced landslide movement was analysed. Results indicate that the intense rainfall-induced landslide movement can be correlated with the effective rainfall. From these results, two rainfall thresholds were identified for the landslide risk management of Shikoku Island.  相似文献

雅鲁藏布构造带在喜马拉雅东构造结地区大致呈弧形展布,宽21km～10km的蛇绿混杂岩带,带内岩石类型为云母石英(片)岩、绿片岩和变超镁铁岩块体等。其中云母石英(片)岩类广泛分布,宏观上呈巨大而狭长且岩性较单一的岩片,或与绿片岩(变玄武岩)混杂在一起。在化学成份上,MnO／TiO2比值低,Al／(Al Fe Mn)比值高,与洋脊附近热水成因深海硅质岩有很大的区别。在Al-Fe-Mn图解上,落在“生物成因硅质岩”范围内,原岩应为不纯的硅质岩类和砂、泥质岩,形成于弧后盆地小洋盆。矿物温压计算及多硅白云母的特点说明变质作用曾经历了角闪岩相,变质温压条件可能达到T=500C～650C,P=0.75GPa～0．8GPa,之后,构造带边界阿尼桥断层和米林-鲁朗断层发生强烈走滑,产生低温高压动力变质作用,形成高压、超高压型多硅白云母。  相似文献   

The Nigerian manganese-rich iron-formations and their host rocks—from sedimentation to metamorphism     

Arno Mücke 《Journal of African Earth Sciences》2005,41(5):407-436

This investigation deals with the Nigerian iron-formations and their host rocks and is based on about 560 mineral analyses (electron-microprobe) and 93 whole-rock analyses (64 iron-formations and 29 host rocks). The manganese-rich and Al-bearing iron-formations occurring in various schist belts of the northern and southern part of West-Nigeria consist of the magnetite-free silicate, the magnetite–silicate and the quartz-rich hematite facies.Iron-formations and host rocks originated from submarine-volcanogenic exhalations enriched in Fe, Mn and CO₂ and from Al₂O₃, SiO₂ and alkali (K₂O and Na₂O)-rich continental-derived pelitic to psammitic material. From these sources and their interaction and controlled by the volcanogenic activity, differently composed protoliths were deposited in the marine basin during the Birimian time. Subsequent metamorphism of greenschist to low amphibolite facies conditions during the Eburnian time led to the formation of the metaprotoliths of the magnetite–silicate (consisting of predominantly magnetite and quartz and subordinate of garnet and amphibole), the silicate facies (consisting of garnet, amphibole and rarely Mn-bearing ilmenite and quartz) and the metasediment phyllite. Garnets are predominantly almandine–spessartine solid solutions, whereas amphiboles are Mn and Ca-bearing grunerite–cummingtonite solid solutions. In the course of a second tectono-metamorphic event of Pan-African age, the magnetite–silicate facies iron-formation/phyllite association was transformed into the hematite facies and muscovite/biotite schists, whereas the silicate facies is characterized by extensive silicification features. The hematite facies and the silicified silicate facies are restricted to southern Nigeria where the second and heterogeneous tectono-metamorphic event is more pronounced (amphibolite facies conditions) than in northern Nigeria.The genesis, summarized as the metamorphic model, shows that the carbonate-rich (siderite, rhodochrosite and subordinate magnesite and calcite) protoliths were metamorphically transformed into the silicate and magnetite–silicate facies. The separation of Mn and Fe, leading to manganese-bearing iron-formations and iron-bearing manganese-formations was explained by varying pH-conditions, under which siderite (pH: 6.8–9.4) and rhodochrosite (pH: 9–11) precipitated.Similar to the Gunfit and Biwabik iron-formations of Minnesota, USA, the iron-formation of Bingi (Maru schist belt), now present in the form of the fayalite bearing silicate facies, was overprinted by contact metamorphism caused by a gabbro intrusion.  相似文献   

Kyanite-anthophyllite schist and southwest extension of the Dabie Mountains ultrahigh- to high-pressure belt   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：1  

J. Liu  J. G. Liou 《Island Arc》1995,4(4):334-346

Abstract Kyanite-anthophyllite schist preserves the first record of high pressure in the amphibolite-facies unit of the SW Dabie Mountains, whereas ultrahigh- and high-pressure (UHP and HP) metamorphism has been well documented by the occurrence of coesite, diamond and mafic eclogite in the SE Dabie Mountains. Textural evidence indicates that minerals of the kyanite-anthophyllite schist formed mainly in two stages: (i) garnet + kyanite + antho-phyllite + rutile formed at pressure in excess of 1.2 GPa at T < 650°C; (ii) cordierite±staurolite formed by reaction of anthophyllite + kyanite at P < 0.5 GPa, T∼530°C. Plagioclase and ilmenite replaced garnet and rutile respectively during decompression. In a still later stage, secondary biotite recrystallized, accompanied by sillimanite replacing kyanite, and spinel replacing staurolite. The P-T information suggests that the amphibolite unit in the SW Dabie Mountains is part of the Triassic collision belt between the Sino-Korean and Yangtze cratons. The P-T paths of the UHP eclogite in the eastern Dabie Mountains and the HP kyanite-anthophyllite schist in the SW Dabie Mountains show similar decompression and equivalent late stage Barrovian-style metamorphism. Emplacement of voluminous granitoid at middle crustal levels between 134–118 Ma contributed to the development of the Barrovian-type metamorphism in the Dabie Mountains.  相似文献

相山铀矿田变质基底片岩的变质作用研讨     

蒋振频董永杰  薛振华周万蓬 《华东地质学院学报》2005,28(2):112-117

在相山铀矿田的早-中元古代变质基底中，出露一套云母片岩。按照片岩中的变质特征矿物，可划分为黑云母带、石榴石带和十字石带，与著名的巴罗带中的三个变质带相对比具有相同的矿物组合。该套片岩主要由富铝矿物十字石、铁铝榴石和大量黑云母组成，因而其原岩以粘土岩为主。由于片岩中含有大量黑云母和石榴石，这为利用石榴石、黑云母探讨变质作用的温度压力条件提供了方便，利用矿物温度压力计得到的温度为500～600℃，压力约0.5Gpa。在晚元古代以前该地区至少发生过两次热动力变质作用。  相似文献

二道凹岩群是20世纪70年代初1∶200000区域地质调查时在呼和浩特市北二道凹地区命名的,其岩石组合为变质砾岩、各种片岩、大理岩等。依据最新1∶250000区调成果,自下而上分了三个岩组,即红山口岩组、哈拉更沟岩组、东梁岩组。为进一步研究二道凹岩群的地质时代,本文对东梁岩组的黑云角闪片岩中锆石进行了高精度SHRIMP U-Pb测年研究,其时代为1890±8 Ma,认为该年龄值系黑云角闪片岩原岩的形成时代,即代表了二道凹岩群上部中基性火山岩的形成年龄,结合已有的年龄数据,进一步佐证了二道凹岩群形成于古元古代(1800~2400Ma)。  相似文献   

Zircon U–Pb and biotite 40Ar/39Ar geochronology from the Anzan emerald deposit in Zambia     

《Ore Geology Reviews》2017

The Kafubu Emerald Area in Zambia is an important producer of gemstone-quality emeralds. The country rocks include carbonatization altered rock and emerald-hosting biotite chlorite schist from the Anzan emerald deposit in the Kafubu area, Zambia. The technique of LA-MC-ICP-MS is used to perform chronology measurements of the country rock and emerald-hosting rock which belong to Muva Supergroup, yielding zircon U-Pb concordia ages of 1966 ± 12 Ma in carbonatization altered rock and 1853 ± 58 Ma and 1344 ± 30 Ma in biotite chlorite schist. Meanwhile, dating of biotite chlorite schist using the biotite ⁴⁰Ar–³⁹Ar method has obtained the plateau age of t = 578.3 ± 2.6 Ma, isochron age of 577.5 ± 3.0 Ma and reverse isochron age of 577.4 ± 3.0 Ma. Thus, we have redefined the age of Muva Supergroup in the Copperbelt Province in Zambia to be older than or equal to 1966 ± 12 Ma, and found that the ore bodies in the Anzan emerald deposit underwent three phases of metamorphism at 1853 ± 58 Ma, 1344 Ma ± 30 and 578.3 ± 2.6 Ma and finally accomplished the emerald mineralization. The age of the Anzan emerald deposit is earlier than the Kagem (452.1 ± 16 Ma) and the Kamakanga emerald deposits (447 ± 8.6 Ma).  相似文献
