| Abstract: | We present results of dehydration melting experiments 3–15kbar, 810–950C f(O2)  QFM (quartz-fayalite-magetite)and  Ni-NiO] on two Fe-rich mixtures of biotite (37%), plagioclaseAn38 (27%), quartz (34%) and ilmenite (2%), which differ onlyin their biotite compositions (mg-number 23 and 0.4). Dehydrationmelting of metagreywackes of constant modal composition generatesa wide range of melt fractions, melt compositions and residualassemblages, through the combined effects of pressure, Fe/Mgratio and f(O2). Crystallization of garnet is the chief controlon melting behavior, and is limited by two reactions: (1) thebreakdown of garnet + quartz to orthopyroxene + plagioclaseat low P, and (2) the oxidation of garnet to magnetite + anorthite+ quartz (enstatite), which is sensitive to both f(O2) andP. Because of these reactions, melting of Mg-rich metagreywackesis rather insensitive to f(O2) but strongly sensitive to P;the converse is true for Fe-rich metagreywackes. Garnet crystallizationrequires that plagioclase break down incongruently, liberatingalbite. This increases the Na2O content of the melts and enhancesmelt production. Thus, melting of metagreywacke in a reducingdeep-crustal environment (with garnet stable) would producemore, and more sodic, melt than would garnet-absent meltingof the same source material in a relatively oxidizing, shallow-crustalenvironment.
