Microstructural features of albite porphyroblasts as indicators of sequential Barrovian metamorphic mineral growth in the Caledonides of the SW Scottish Highlands     

V. Mathavan  D. R. Bowes 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》2004,22(7):639-651

Inclusion – porphyroblast and porphyroblast – porphyroblast relationships show that abundant albite in mica schists in the Caledonides of the SW Scottish Highlands are part of the Barrovian metamorphic assemblage. Growth early in the D2 deformational phase of porphyroblast cores followed the growth of Mn‐rich garnet but preceded the growth of porphyroblasts of the index mineral almandine. Two sets of inclusion trails in the albite correspond to the regionally expressed S1 and S2. Straight trails of muscovite, chlorite, quartz, epidote and the earliest growth of biotite make up S1. Crenulated trails express deformation of S1 early in D2 with muscovite, chlorite, biotite, quartz, epidote and the Mn‐rich garnet associated with the development of S2 crenulation cleavage. The geometries of these trails uniquely record early stages of D2 deformational history. An _0?3 growth is related to the temporal coincidence of the formation of S1–S2 crenulation cleavage hinges as favourable sites for nucleation and the release of large amounts of water from prograde reactions during tectonothermal reconstitution of first cycle immature sediments with a volcanic component. The main characteristics of the regionally expressed D2 schistosity were developed during the major grain coarsening that followed both albite and almandine porphyroblast growth. Essentially inclusion‐free An _4?19 rims grew on the inclusion‐containing cores in the almandine zone in the later stages of schistosity growth and unoriented porphyroblasts of muscovite, biotite and chlorite indicate that mineral growth extended from the later stages of D2 to post‐D2. Previous interpretations of the albite porphyroblast growth having been during D4 to post‐D4 contemporaneous with retrogression are inconsistent with the microstructural evidence.  相似文献

Albite vein formation during exhumation of high-pressure terranes: a case study from alpine Corsica   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

J. A. MILLER  I. CARTWRIGHT 《Journal of Metamorphic Geology》2006,24(5):409-428

The formation of late‐stage veins can yield valuable information about the movement and composition of fluids during uplift and exhumation of high‐pressure terranes. Albite veins are especially suited to this purpose because they are ubiquitously associated with the greenschist facies overprint in high‐pressure rocks. Albite veins in retrogressed metabasic rocks from high‐pressure ophiolitic units of Alpine Corsica (France) are nearly monomineralic, and have distinct alteration haloes composed of actinolite + epidote + chlorite + albite. Estimated P–T conditions of albite vein formation are 478 ± 31 °C and 0.37 ± 0.14 GPa. The P–T estimates and petrographic constraints indicate that the albite veins formed after the regional greenschist facies retrogression, in response to continued decompression and exhumation of the terrane. Stable isotope geochemistry of the albite veins, their associated alteration haloes and unaltered hostrocks indicates that the vein‐forming fluid was derived from the ophiolite units and probably from the metabasalts within each ophiolite slice. That the vein‐forming fluid was locally derived means that a viable source of fluid to form the veins was retained in the rocks during high‐pressure metamorphism, indicating that the rocks did not completely dehydrate. This conclusion is supported by the observation of abundant lawsonite at the highest metamorphic grades. Fluids were liberated during retrogression via decompression dehydration reactions such as those that break down hydrous high‐pressure minerals like lawsonite. Albite precipitation into veins is sensitive to the solubility and speciation of Al, which is more pressure sensitive than other factors which might influence albite vein formation such as silica saturation or Na:K fluid ratios. Hydraulic fracturing in response to fluid generation during decompression was probably the main mechanism of vein formation. The associated pressure decrease with fracturing and fluid decompression may also have been sufficient to change the solubility of Al and drive albite precipitation in fracture systems.  相似文献   

An infrared and <Superscript>1</Superscript>H MAS NMR investigation of strong hydrogen bonding in ussingite,Na<Subscript>2</Subscript>AlSi<Subscript>3</Subscript>O<Subscript>8</Subscript>(OH)     

E.A.?JohnsonEmail author  G.R.?Rossman 《Physics and Chemistry of Minerals》2004,31(2):115-121

The mineral ussingite, Na₂AlSi₃O₈(OH), an interrupted tectosilicate, has strong hydrogen bonding between OH and the other nonbridging oxygen atom in the structure. Infrared spectra contain a strongly polarized, very broad OH-stretching band with an ill-defined maximum between 1500 and 1800 cm^–1, and a possible OH librational bending mode at 1295 cm^–1. The IR spectra confirm the orientation of the OH vector within the triclinic unit cell as determined from X-ray refinement (Rossi et al. 1974). There are three distinct bands in the ¹H NMR spectrum of ussingite: a predominant band at 13.5 ppm (TMS) representing 90% of the structural hydrogen, a second band at 15.9 ppm corresponding to 8% of the protons, and a third band at 11.0 ppm accounting for the remaining 2% of structural hydrogen. From the correlation between hydrogen bond length and ¹H NMR chemical shift (Sternberg and Brunner 1994), the predominant hydrogen bond length (H...O) was calculated to be 1.49 Å, in comparison to the hydrogen bond length determined from X-ray refinement (1.54 Å). The population of protons at 15.9 ppm is consistent with 5–8% Al–Si disorder. Although the ussingite crystal structure and composition are similar to those of low albite, the bonding environment of OH in low albite and other feldspars, as characterized through IR and ¹H NMR, is fundamentally different from the strong hydrogen bonding found in ussingite.  相似文献   

Inclusion-trail geometry of albite porphyroblasts in a fold structure in the Sambagawa Belt, central Shikoku, Japan     

Kazuaki Okamoto 《Island Arc》1998,7(1-2):283-294

The orientation of straight inclusion trails within albite porphyroblasts from basic schists has been measured around a north-closure fold, in the Besshi district of the Sambagawa Belt, central Shikoku, Japan. The porphyroblasts are aligned with their longest dimension parallel to both the subhorizontal, east–west-directed mineral lineation and to the fold axis. There is a systematic variation in inclusion-trail geometry between the upper (northern) and lower (southern) fold limbs. The shear sense deduced from quartz c-axis fabrics is top-to-the-west in the upper limb and top-to-the-east in the lower limb. Based on observed variations in porphyroblast inclusion trails, the structural history can be modelled as follows: (i) shear flow caused east–west stretching and folding of the metamorphic zonation; (ii) east–west ductile shear resulted in opposing senses of shear in the upper and lower limbs as the eclogite body situated in the core of the fold was extruded to the east.  相似文献   

Hydrothermal Alteration Zoning and Kinetic Process of Mineral-Water Interactions

This study reports the kinetic experimental results of albite in water and in KCI solution at 22 MPa in the temperature range of 25 to 400℃. Kinetic experiments have been carried out in an open flow-through reaction system (packed bed reactor). Albite dissolution is always incongruent in water at most temperatures, but becomes congruent at 300℃ (close to the critical point 374℃). At temperatures from 25 to 300℃, the incongruent dissolution of albite is reflected by the fact that sodium and aluminum are easily dissolved into water; from 300 to 400℃ it is reflected by silicon being more easily dissolved in water than Al and Na. Maximum albite dissolution rates in the flow hydrothermal systems have been repeatedly observed at 300℃, independent of flow rates.The kinetic experiments of albite dissolution in a KCl aqueous solution (0.1 mol KCl) indicate that the dissolution rate of albite increases with increasing temperature. Maximum silicon release rates of albite have been observed at 400℃, while ma  相似文献   

东太平洋中国开辟区沉积物中热水活动的矿物学及地球化学证据   总被引：5，自引：0，他引：5

通过对东太平洋多金属结核中国开辟区表层沉积物和短柱状沉积物的系统观察和分析，首次根据矿物学和地球化学两方面的证据，发现中国开辟区沉积物中热水活动及其产物的存在。X射线衍射分析表明，沉积物样品中普遍含有重晶石，部分样品中含量高达10％以上，扫描电镜观察发现，重晶石均为完整自形晶，并与同为自形的石英及钠长石共生。根据本区重晶石的地质背景及结晶形态，可以认为它的形成环境与加利福尼亚湾瓜伊马斯盆地（Guaymas)相似，属热水成因，伴生的石英和钠长石亦为常见的热水矿物，。这一共生组合的形成温度不低于70℃。地球化学研究发现，在柱状沉积物剖面上，Ba的垂向分布有两种类型，一种为平稳型，在一定深度范围内无明显变化。另一种为跃升型，并伴有其他活泼组分的同步变化，跃升型可视为热水活动在沉积历史上的记录，迄今为止，热水矿物组合主要见于东区的表层沉积物，而在西区，Ba在沉积物中的富集主要见于10cm以下层位，根据沉积速率推算，在中国开辟区西区的热水化活动记录比东区至少早0．1Ma。  相似文献   

Cathodoluminescence of authigenic albite

Authigenic albites in carbonate rocks typically grow in a high-grade diagenetic to low-grade metamorphic environment and often show Roc-Tourné-twinning sensu Füchtbauer. Based on an investigation of four Middle to South European occurrences, they show Mn²⁺- and Fe³⁺-activated cathodoluminescence (CL), as revealed by combined high resolution spectroscopy of cathodoluminescence emission (HRS-CL), electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), and proton-induced X-ray emission (μPIXE).  相似文献

东天山土屋–延东铜矿带石英钠长斑岩与辉钼矿形成年龄及其重要意义   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

土屋–延东铜矿带位于东天山大南湖–头苏泉岛弧带上,是目前新疆最大的铜矿带。铜矿体主要赋存于石炭纪斜长花岗斑岩和晚古生代企鹅山群中,但是前人研究表明斜长花岗斑岩的成岩年龄(339~332 Ma),明显老于成矿年龄(约322Ma),因此,土屋–延东铜矿带的致矿岩体至今还存有争议。本次研究首次对该铜矿带晚石炭世石英钠长斑岩进行了详细的岩相学和LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学分析,并结合辉钼矿Re-Os同位素年龄测定,探讨土屋–延东铜矿带矿床成因。对延东铜矿4件辉钼矿样品进行Re-Os同位素分析,得到322.0±2.7 Ma的加权平均模式年龄和319.1±9.1 Ma等时线年龄,明显要晚于斜长花岗斑岩年龄。两个石英钠长斑岩样品LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年龄分别为324.9±2.4 Ma和324.5±2.1 Ma,表明石英钠长斑岩为晚石炭世岩浆活动的产物。岩相学研究表明,石英钠长斑岩中发育黄铜矿+绿泥石+硬石膏+方解石矿物组合,这与延东铜矿主成矿阶段的矿物组合基本一致,并且石英钠长斑岩成岩年龄与辉钼矿年龄在误差范围内一致,表明石英钠长斑岩可能与土屋-延东铜矿带铜矿形成有着密切关系,这一发现可能为大南湖–头苏泉岛弧带晚石炭世铜矿的勘查提供新的思路。  相似文献
