The size and distribution of zircon within a garnet-mica-schist from the Scottish Highlands were assessed using scanning electron microscopy. The study reveals that abundant 0.2–3.0 μm sized zircon is preferentially concentrated within garnet and biotite porphyroblasts. The micro-zircon has grown during regional metamorphism and represents >90% of the total number of zircon in the schist. It is texturally distinct from a few larger detrital zircon grains in the schist that commonly preserve evidence of dissolution, and more rarely, small metamorphic outgrowths. The sequential incorporation of zircon in porphyroblasts allows prograde changes in the morphology of the zircon population to be identified. Zircon is reactive and soluble, and responds to medium-grade metamorphism in a series of dissolution and crystallization events, linked to possible changes in fluid composition. Deformation also has a significant influence on the distribution of zircon, allowing inclusions previously trapped within biotite to react. About 8 × 106 micro-zircon occur as inclusions within a typical individual 5-mm garnet porphyroblast and their presence must be considered prior to trace-element or isotopic analysis of such metamorphic phases. 相似文献

Early Proterozoic cordierite-garnet–orthopyroxene–K–feldsparmetasedimentary gneisses are developed in the flat—lyingcomplex (FLC) of the southern part of the Ketilidian mobilebelt (1?8–1?7GA), Greenland. These granulites containlow—pressure assemblages and are developed in both regionalmetamorphic rocks and in some thermal aureoles of contemporaneousrapakivi granite plutons. Thermobarometry shows that both theregional and contact metamorphism took place at 2–4 kband 650–800?C. The granulites were developed in an extensionaltectonic regime, and appartently record the culmination of asingle thermotectonic event. There is a close temporal associationbetween the peak of high—grade metamorphism and the emplacementof synorogenic rapakivi granites, and melts from the metasedimentarypile probably contributed largely to the granites. The low pressuresand high temperatures for regional metamorphism require geothermalgradients in excess of 60?C/km, and are consistent with thepresence of regional extensional tectonics, synorogenic magmatism,and underplating of mafic magma in this area during the Ketilidian.

The Origin of Rapakivi Texture 总被引：9，自引：0，他引：9
The mantling of large ovoids of K-feldspar by a rim of plagioclasehas been investigated in the rapakivi granites from the Mid-ProterozoicWiborg batholith of SE Finland. The formation of rapakivi texture,in this the type area, was examined using a variety of techniquesincluding isotopic analyses of mineral separates from specifictextural sites. Cathodoluminescence combined with microprobeanalysis points to the pulsed development of the mantles involvinggrowth of successive plagioclases of composition An30, An25,and An3, the last being in optical continuity with perthiticplagioclase exsolved from the K-feldspar. Plagioclase mantleshave high 18O and 87Sr/86 signatures relative to K-feldspar,which indicate the presence of a late, low-temperature componentthought to represent albite exsolved from the K-feldspar andredistributed onto the ovoid margin. Oligoclase components ofthe mantles are formed by a similar, although higher-temperaturemagmatic process. This involves the subsolvus re-equilibrationof alkali feldspar compositions with evolving melt conditions.Redistribution of the exsolved plagioclase from the alkali feldsparphenocrysts is linked to high fluorine contents of rapakivi-typemagmas, and this major reconstruction of the feldspar phenocrystsgenerates their distinctive ovoidal shape. 相似文献

The biotite isograd reaction in Cambro–Ordovician pelites from the Garonne dome in the Central Pyrenees involves the production of biotite at the expense of chlorite, and the gradual reduction in the celadonite (Si) content of individual white micas. The mineral assemblages in the biotite-bearing rocks in the Melles area retain abundant evidence of chemical disequilibrium, due to the sluggish nature of major element diffusion within the white micas. The progress of the isograd reaction is strongly controlled by the progressive development of regional Variscan fabrics, and chemical exchange in the white micas in these metamorphic conditions is only possible during active deformation. Chemical resetting of the white micas takes place via the development of compositional zoning in the deforming micas; this probably occurs as a consequence of the introduction of defects and dislocations, causing more efficient diffusion within parts of individual grains. In the absence of deformation, this biotite isograd reaction would take place at significantly higher temperature and be controlled by the relatively high closure temperature of major element diffusion in white micas. Thus, assigning thermal significance to such continuous isograd reactions is impossible without independent constraints: kinetic factors such as deformation may be the dominant influence in many cases, not the thermodynamic controls. 相似文献

Zircon textures, chemistry and microstructures have been characterized in situ within Carboniferous sandstones from the Midland Valley of Scotland using back‐scattered electron and cathodoluminescence images, electron backscatter diffraction techniques and chemical analyses. The study of polished thin sections reveals a variety of zircon types including unmodified detrital zircon, zircon outgrowths and different forms of modified zircon that formed in low‐temperature conditions within the sedimentary rocks. These rocks have only experienced temperatures of <100 °C during burial; however, altered zircon is abundant and characterized by a low mean atomic number, with relatively high contents of non‐formula elements and a nano‐crystalline or microcrystalline structure. It forms by replacement of detrital zircon that subsequently became metamict. Two types of replacement mechanisms are effective in sedimentary environments and involve either dissolution–reprecipitation or solid‐state reaction, but both require fluid access to the radiation‐damaged areas. The former process appears to become the dominant replacement mechanism as temperature increases and produces highly porous, inclusion‐rich zircon. Metamict zircon is extremely reactive in near‐surface conditions and the production of low‐temperature zircon is sensitive to both parent zircon characteristics and environmental conditions. As such, the alteration of zircon has the potential to yield unique information on the diagenetic history of sedimentary rocks. Low‐temperature zircon would be unlikely to survive sedimentary transport or the rock crushing procedures that characterize many investigations of detrital zircon populations and consequently may generate severe biases in studies of this type. 相似文献
