Symplectitic augite: evidence for discontinuous precipitation as an exsolution mechanism in Ca-rich clinopyroxene 总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2
Abstract Part of the augite in the Artfjället gabbro consists of symplectitic intergrowths between augite and blebs or lamellae of orthopyroxene. Mineral compositions are consistent with formation of these symplectites by exsolution of orthopyroxene from magmatic augite at a temperature of ca . 900–1000°C. The microstructures indicate that the exsolution mechanism is discontinuous precipitation, whereby the boundary of an augite grain sweeps through a neighbouring augite, leaving the symplectite in its wake. The formation of this symplectitic augite is catalysed by the presence of an intergranular water-rich fluid phase, which promotes grain boundary mobility. 相似文献

A transmission electron microscope study of the microstructuresof olivine, augite and ortho-pyroxene in the Artfj?llet gabbroshows that the gabbro has been affected by two phases of deformation,exsolution and alteration. During the first phase, deformationand annealing of olivine led to the formation of elongated subgrains,with (100) subgrain boundaries consisting of regularly spacededge dislocations with [100] Burgers vectors. Localized strongerdeformation resulted in the development of mosaic subgrainswith (100) and (001) boundaries. Exsolution produced blebs and(100) lamellae of orthopyroxene in augite. Two types of blebsoccur, referred to as symplectitic augite and blebby augite.Symplectitic augite formed through discontinuous precipitation.The blebs in blebby augite are considered to have nucleatedat subgrain boundaries or dislocations in the augite. Blebs,melon pips and (100) lamellae of augite formed in orthopyroxene.These blebs and melon pips are thought to be due to nucleationat dislocations or to thickening of (100) lamellae at dislocations.Brown hornblende formed as blebs in augite and to a lesser extentorthopyroxene. This first event took place while the gabbrowas at a temperature of c. 900-1000 ?C and is thought to berelated to D2b, a regional flattening and thrusting event. Renewed exsolution in the pyroxenes occurred later, probablybefore the second subsolidus phase, -but its timing is poorlyconstrained. "100" lamellae of low-Ca clinopyroxene formed inaugite at an estimated temperature of c. 600 ?C. Thin (100)lamellae and Guinier-Preston zones were developed in orthopyroxene. During the second phase, deformation resulted mainly in cracks,along which hydrous fluids entered the gabbro, causing a variabledegree of metamorphism at a temperature of c. 500-550 ?C. Inolivine irregular dislocations of mixed edge-screw characterformed. Cr-spinel with an unknown phase, or magnetite with diopsideprecipitated in the olivine. Oxide minerals formed in the pyroxenesand brown hornblende: Cr-spinel in Cr-rich augite; rutile andilmenite in other augite, orthopyroxene and brown hornblende.The formation of these oxide minerals is thought to be due toexsolution of cations such as Ti and Cr, which these mineralsdo not tolerate in their structures at low temperatures, combinedwith oxidation in the case of magnetite in olivine. Alterationresulted in thin amphibole lamellae parallel to (010) in augite.This second subsolidus phase is correlated with the D3 regionaldeformation phase and the concomitant retrograde metamorphism. 相似文献
