估算钙碱性长英质侵入岩结晶压力的地质压力计评述

本文对四种常见的矿物压力计（角闪石全铝压力计、黑云母压力计、榍石压力计和“石英”压力计）的适用性进行了经验性检验。基于国内外典型钙碱性长英质岩体的矿物化学和全岩化学成分数据,采用不同压力计估算岩体侵位压力,并与角闪石全铝压力计结果对比。结果表明：角闪石六次配位Al压力计与广泛使用的角闪石全铝压力计的估算值存在系统相关性;榍石压力计计算的压力与角闪石全铝压力计的估计结果相关性较为显著;基于Qtz—Ab—Or简并花岗岩体系的“石英”压力计可以用于估计准铝质—弱过铝质钙碱性（狭义）花岗岩的结晶压力。但是,经验性的黑云母压力计和基于实验数据的黑云母压力压计均不能很好地复现角闪石全铝压力计的结果。黑云母压力计不适用于估算钙碱性侵入岩的结晶压力。     

估算钙碱性长英质侵入岩结晶压力的地质压力计评述

笔者等对4种常见的矿物压力计（角闪石全铝压力计、黑云母压力计、榍石压力计和“石英”压力计）的适用性进行了经验性检验。基于国内外典型钙碱性长英质岩体的矿物化学和全岩化学成分数据,采用不同压力计估算岩体侵位压力,并与角闪石全铝压力计结果对比。结果表明：角闪石六次配位Al压力计与广泛使用的角闪石全铝压力计的估算值存在系统相关性;榍石压力计计算的压力与角闪石全铝压力计的估计结果相关性较为显著;基于Qtz—Ab—Or简并花岗岩体系的“石英”压力计可以用于估计准铝质—弱过铝质钙碱性（狭义）花岗岩的结晶压力。但是,经验性的黑云母压力计和基于实验数据的黑云母压力压计均不能很好地复现角闪石全铝压力计的结果。黑云母压力计不适用于估算钙碱性侵入岩的结晶压力。     

花岗岩中常用压力计的应用评述

       本文简要讨论了花岗岩中常用压力计的应用限制条件和误差。对于钙碱性花岗岩推荐使用角闪石全铝压力计;对低 压矿化岩体建议使用黑云母全铝压力计即可;奥长环斑花岗岩中可应用富铁斜方辉石-铁橄榄石-石英组合压力计;存在两 种长石和石英平衡共结的花岗岩可利用Q-Ab-Or-H2O相图获得它们的共结压力。花岗岩矿物中流体包裹体的内压可以通过 热力学状态方程或者拉曼光谱获得;特殊的岩浆矿物如绿帘石有时候也可以指示岩浆结晶时所处的最低压力。此外,通过 THERMOCALC计算的视剖面是约束共生矿物组合及熔体形成温压条件的最后方法。     

角闪石全铝压力计对黄陵岩体古隆升速率的研究

采用矿物化学分析和角闪石全铝压力计方法,得到黄陵岩体中黄陵庙花岗闪长岩和三斗坪英云闪长岩的结晶压力为4.23×108 Pa和4.60×108 Pa,对应的侵位深度为14.6 km和15.8 km;结合已有的岩石年龄资料,可以得到新元古代黄陵岩体的古隆升速率约为0.09 km/Ma.结果表明,黄陵岩体在形成过程中,基底伴随有缓慢的隆升剥露.     

华北地块北缘内蒙古固阳地区早二叠世岩体的侵位深度及其构造意义

运用角闪石一斜长石温度计和角闪石全铝压力计估算的华北地块北缘内蒙古隆起西段固阳地区早二叠世花岗质岩体的结晶温度和侵位深度分别为679.1~728.7℃和15.6~19.8 km,表明白早二叠世以来,固阳地区至少有15.6km的地壳岩石被剥露。这一构造抬升及剥露是造成该区中—新元古代地层不连续分布及古生代—早中生代地层普遍缺失的最主要原因。岩体侵位深度与区域前二叠纪最大沉积地层厚度(13.0 km)对比结果表明,早二叠世之前,华北地块北缘已经发生了明显的褶皱或逆冲构造变形,从而导致了地壳岩石的叠覆与加厚。这一早二叠世之前的构造变形及地壳加厚可能与晚古生代期间古亚洲洋板块向华北地块下俯冲有关。     

广东佛冈花岗杂岩体中乌石闪长岩-角闪辉长岩的结晶条件

佛冈花岗杂岩体是南岭地区最大的晚中生代岩基,乌石闪长岩角闪辉长岩是佛冈钙碱性系列花岗岩中最基性的端员。乌石闪长岩角闪辉长岩和周围佛冈黑云母花岗岩、含角闪石花岗闪长岩同属于高钾钙碱性系列岩石。本文系统地总结并对比了多种角闪石压力计和角闪石斜长石温度计,针对中酸性钙碱性岩浆,提出了改进的角闪石Al_Ti温压曲线格子,并将其运用到乌石闪长岩角闪辉长岩的结晶条件估算中。估算结果显示,乌石闪长岩角闪辉长岩中角闪石结晶温度为82 0±2 0℃,压力为70～130MPa,XH2 O为0 .7±0 .1,其结晶条件代表岩体侵位时的物理环境。花岗闪长岩中的角闪石结晶温度约为82 0℃,压力约为2 6 0MPa ,是在较深的岩浆房中结晶的。     

太行山阜平杂岩中麻棚-赤瓦屋岩体的时代、侵位深度及构造意义

中生代岩浆活动在太行山北段形成了一系列花岗岩体,其中的麻棚-赤瓦屋岩体侵位于穹窿状的阜平杂岩中,具有贫硅、富碱、高铝的钙碱性I型花岗岩特征。岩体分带明显,由边部向核部可以划分为石英闪长岩、花岗闪长岩、似斑状花岗岩3个相带,它们的锆石LA-ICP-MS U-Pb年龄分别为126.4±2.4 Ma、125.4±2.0 Ma和126.2±2.0 Ma,在误差范围内一致,指示岩体在早白垩世期间快速侵位、结晶。各相带样品的角闪石全铝平均值分别为1.018、0.880和0.871,对应的角闪石平均结晶压力分别为0.183、0.118和0.114 GPa,均值为0.141 GPa,对应的侵位深度约5 km,明显小于区域内元古界至侏罗系的地层厚度,表明在岩体侵位之前,阜平杂岩就已经具有穹窿状构造特征。结合相关资料,估计太行山早白垩世以来的平均隆升速率为0.07~0.08 km/Ma。     

岩浆绿帘石特征及其地质意义研究进展

综述了国际上对岩浆绿帘石的研究成果，总结了岩浆绿帘石的特征及其在花岗质岩浆中的结晶行为，讨论了岩浆绿帘石的地质意义。岩浆绿帘石的稳定与岩浆成分、fH2O以及fO2关系密切。它通常作为中、高压近固相线结晶矿物，主要产于英云闪长岩、花岗闪长岩、花岗岩等钙碱性花岗质岩石中。该矿物在岩浆中的结晶可早可晚（相对于黑云母或角闪石），氧逸度的高低直接影响到它在岩浆中的最小稳定压力。作为早期结晶的矿物，绿帘石不能作为压力计来反映岩体侵位深度，因为在绿帘石晶出时，岩浆中液相体积在50%～80%，这样岩浆可能会有快速侵位的过程，但它的地质意义在于能够对岩浆上升速率做出估算。而晚期近固相线晶出的绿帘石时，能够作为压力计反映岩体最小侵位深度。据此可以应用于对地壳演化和隆升的研究。由于氧逸度对绿帘石的稳定有很大影响，因此在能够作为压力计时，首先需要确定岩浆氧逸度情况。通常磁铁矿型花岗岩最小侵位深度在3×108 Pa左右（10 km），而钛铁矿型为5×108 Pa以上(17～20 km)。     

秦岭造山带晚三叠世花岗岩体侵位深度及其构造意义

秦岭造山带广泛分布的晚三叠世花岗岩是华南板块和华北板块碰撞形成的典型产物，是造山带转入区域伸展构造体制的标志。目前关于秦岭造山带的研究主要集中在地球化学和年代学方面，而有关花岗岩侵位的温压等物理化学条件研究则相对较少。本文通过角闪石全铝压力计和角闪石-斜长石温度计计算，获得其温压数据。结果显示，糜署岭、老君山、秦岭梁、东江口岩体的侵位深度分别为11.4、7.3、8.3、8.5 km,对应于地壳中上部。糜署岭岩体主要为花岗闪长岩，侵位深度大于其余岩体(二长花岗岩),而且岩体的侵位深度主要和岩性有关。利用侵位深度和已发表的热年代学数据，对这些岩体侵位后的剥蚀速率进行估算，结果表明T₃-J₂的平均剥蚀速率约为140 m/Ma,说明燕山运动和印亚碰撞对秦岭造山带花岗岩的剥蚀贡献不大。     

花岗质岩浆的变压结晶作用及其动力学意义:以北京房山岩体为例

北京房山岩体是华北克拉通东部典型的燕山期中酸性钙碱性侵入岩之一。为了更好地理解房山岩体的侵位机制和隆升-剥蚀历史,选取恰当的角闪石全铝压力计和角闪石-斜长石温度计计算其侵位压力和温度。结果表明,房山岩体的结晶压力为((0.39~0.28)±0.06)GPa,温度为655.9~733.7℃。基于该结果,认为房山岩体在侵位过程中经历了变压结晶作用。结合房山岩体各岩石单元的侵位温度、压力、岩石结构特征以及锆石U-Pb年龄,可知其在早期经历了缓慢的隆升剥蚀过程,而晚期的巨斑状中细粒花岗闪长岩单元遭受了快速的隆升剥蚀。根据本研究估算的侵位温度和压力,房山岩体在持续侵位过程中抬升了7~8 km,平均抬升速率为2.33~2.67 km/Ma。     

Conditions of Archean granulite metamorphism in the Godthab-Fiskenaesset region, southern West Greenland

The Nordlandet peninsula (Akia terrane) and the Tasiusarsuaq terrane in southern West Greenland were metamorphosed to granulite facies at 3.0 and 2.8 Ga respectively. Temperatures of metamorphism are estimated using magnetite + ilmenite, garnet + orthopyroxene, garnet + clinopyroxene and garnet + biotite thermometers. Barometry has been carried out in the two terranes using eight different garnet barometers. A uniform set of activity models for all minerals, including the garnet activity model of Newton et al. (1986), is applied to each barometer in order to permit comparison. Pressure estimates using the different barometers are generally quite consistent (±1.5 kbar). Use of the Newton et al. (1986) garnet activity data results in pressures similar to those obtained using other garnet activity models.
Peak metamorphic conditions on the Nordlandet peninsula are estimated to have been 800 ± 50°C, 7.9 ± 1.0 kbar. Values of log f _O2 are estimated to have been 1.1 to 2.0 above the quartz + magnetite + fayalite buffer from assemblages of magnetite + ilmenite and quartz + magnetite + ferrosilite. Peak metamorphic conditions in the Tasiusarsuaq terrane are estimated to have been 780 ± 50°C, 8.9 ± 1.0 kbar. Estimates of f _H2O and f _CO2 using biotite, amphibile, grossular + anorthite and grossular + scapolite equilibria are low in both terranes. These results suggest that granulite metamorphism was fluid absent in both terranes, and that the metamorphism in the Akia terrane and possibly also in the Tasiusarsuaq terrane was initiated by the injection of large volumes of magma into the lower crust.     

Determining the amount of overstepping required to nucleate garnet during Barrovian regional metamorphism,Connecticut Valley Synclinorium

The novel method of inclusion barometry coupled with the calculation of the required affinity for garnet nucleation is applied to three samples from the previously well‐characterized Connecticut Valley Synclinorium in central Vermont. Raman shifts for quartz inclusions record a range of maximum peak shifts of the quartz 464 cm^?1 peak from 2.4 to 3.0 cm^?1. Temperature of garnet nucleation was constrained by calculating mineral assemblage diagrams in the MnNCKFMASHT system and plotting the intersection of quartz inclusion in garnet barometry (QuiG, quartz‐in‐garnet) with Zr‐in‐rutile thermometry. Utilizing the intersection of Zr‐in‐rutile thermometry with QuiG barometry, garnet nucleation is inferred to have occurred within a P–T range of ~8.6–9.5 kbar and ~560–575°C. These P–T conditions for garnet nucleation are significantly higher than calculated equilibrium garnet‐in isograds for the three samples. Affinities for garnet nucleation were calculated as the difference between the free energy of a fictive garnet composition based on the matrix assemblage and the free energy of the nucleated garnet. The calculated nucleation affinity varied from 300 to 600 kJ/mol O for St–Ky grade samples. These results suggest that the assumption that metamorphism proceeds as a sequence of near‐equilibrium conditions cannot, in general, be made for regional metamorphic terranes. This body of work agrees with numerous recent studies showing that garnet‐producing reactions must be overstepped in order to for garnet to nucleate.     

Oxide and sulphide isograds along a Late Archean, deep-crustal profile in Tamil Nadu, south India

Oxide–sulphide–Fe–Mg–silicate and titanite–ilmenite textures as well as their mineral compositions have been studied in felsic and intermediate orthogneisses across an amphibolite (north) to granulite facies (south) traverse of lower Archean crust, Tamil Nadu, south India. Titanite is limited to the amphibolite facies terrane where it rims ilmenite or occurs as independent grains. Pyrite is widespread throughout the traverse increasing in abundance with increasing metamorphic grade. Pyrrhotite is confined to the high‐grade granulites. Ilmenite is widespread throughout the traverse increasing in abundance with increasing metamorphic grade and occurring primarily as hemo‐ilmenite in the high‐grade granulite facies rocks. Magnetite is widespread throughout the traverse and is commonly associated with ilmenite. It decreases in abundance with increasing metamorphic grade. In the granulite facies zone, reaction rims of magnetite + quartz occur along Fe–Mg silicate grain boundaries. Magnetite also commonly rims or is associated with pyrite. Both types of reaction rims represent an oxidation effect resulting from the partial subsolidus reduction of the hematite component in ilmenite to magnetite. This is confirmed by the presence of composite three oxide grains consisting of hematite, magnetite and ilmenite. Magnetite and magnetite–pyrite micro‐veins along silicate grain boundaries formed over a wide range of post‐peak metamorphic temperatures and pressures ranging from high‐grade SO₂ to low‐grade H₂S‐dominated conditions. Oxygen fugacities estimated from the orthopyroxene–magnetite–quartz, orthopyroxene–hematite–quartz, and magnetite–hematite buffers average 2.5 log units above QFM. It is proposed that the trends in mineral assemblages, textures and composition are the result of an external, infiltrating concentrated brine containing an oxidizing component such as CaSO₄ during high‐grade metamorphism later acted upon by prograde and retrograde mineral reactions that do not involve an externally derived fluid phase.     

新疆尾亚—天湖地区花岗岩类剥蚀程度估算及对区域找矿的启示

尾亚—天湖地区位于新疆中亚造山带东南部的中天山地块内,晚古生代—中生代岩浆活动强烈,产出了战略性关键矿产尾亚钒铁磁铁矿。在详细岩相学观察的基础上,对尾亚、天湖和沙泉子南岩体中的角闪石和黑云母进行了电子探针(EMPA)测试分析,限定了3个岩体结晶的温压条件、氧逸度、含水量和含铁指数等要素,为解析中天山地块的岩浆-成矿物化条件及其区域找矿勘查工作提供参考。测试结果表明,该区花岗岩类中的角闪石富镁、钙、钠,贫钾,属于钙角闪石族;黑云母有高镁、钛、铝、钾和低硅、钠的特征为镁质黑云母。角闪石和黑云母的化学成分揭示其寄主岩浆为钙碱性造山带岩系,具有壳幔混源的特征,推测可能是板块俯冲背景下由地幔楔与大陆地壳物质混熔形成。根据角闪石-黑云母矿物温压计,估算出沙泉子南石英闪长岩的结晶温度为651~753 ℃,压力为31~79 MPa,尾亚二长花岗岩和钾长花岗岩的结晶温度为762~833 ℃,压力为85~215 MPa,天湖花岗闪长岩的结晶温度为668~812 ℃,压力为31~117 MPa。3个岩体岩浆结晶时的氧逸度lgf(O₂)范围为-15.7~-9.4,而且在角闪石结晶时岩浆具有较高的含水量。综合分析,认为该区的花岗岩类具有高温、低压、高氧逸度、富水和高含铁指数的特点,有利于Fe等成矿元素在流体中富集,具有良好的铁矿成矿条件。进一步利用角闪石-黑云母压力计,计算了花岗岩类岩体的侵位深度,从而估算出岩体的剥蚀程度处于2.2~5.5 km,且区域的隆升剥蚀量差异明显;结合现有的矿产地表展布特征,推测天湖岩体一带深部仍具有较好的铁矿找矿潜力。     

Oxide and sulphide minerals in highly oxidized, Rb-depleted, Archaean granulites of the Shevaroy Hills Massif, South India: Oxidation states and the role of metamorphic fluids

The Shevaroy Hills of northern Tamil Nadu, southern India, expose the highest-grade granulites of a prograde amphibolite facies to granulite facies deep-crustal section of Late Archaean age. These highly oxidized quartzofeldspathic garnet charnockites generally show minor high-TiO₂ biotite and amphibole as the only hydrous minerals and are greatly depleted in the incompatible elements Rb and Th. Peak metamorphic temperatures (garnet–orthopyroxene) and pressures (garnet–orthopyroxene–plagioclase–quartz) are near 750 °C and 8 kbar, respectively. Pervasive veinlets of K-feldspar exist throughout dominant plagioclase in each sample and show clean contact with orthopyroxene. They are suggested to have been produced by a low H₂O activity, migrating fluid phase under granulite facies conditions, most likely a concentrated chloride/carbonate brine with high alkali mobility accompanied by an immiscible CO₂-rich fluid. Silicate, oxide and sulphide mineral assemblages record high oxygen fugacity. Pyroxenes in the felsic rocks have high Mg/(Mg+Fe) (0.5–0.7). The major oxide mineral is ilmenite with up to 60 mole per cent exsolved hematite. Utilizing three independent oxygen barometers (ferrosilite–magnetite–quartz, ferrosilite–hematite–quartz and magnetite–hematite) in conjunction with garnet–orthopyroxene exchange temperatures, samples with XIlmHm>0.1 yield a consistent oxygen fugacity about two log units above fayalite stability. Less oxidized samples (XIlmHm<0.1) show some scatter with indications of having equilibrated under more reducing conditions. Temperature-f (O₂ ) arrays result in self consistent conditions ranging from 660 °C and 10^?16 bar to 820 °C and 10^?11.5 bar. These trends are confirmed by calculations based on the assemblage clinopyroxene–orthopyroxene–magnetite–ilmenite using the QUIlF program. In the most oxidized granulite samples (XIlmHm>0.4) pyrite is the dominant sulphide and pyrrhotite is absent. Pyrite grains in these samples have marginal alteration to magnetite along the rims, signifying a high-temperature oxidation event. Moderately oxidized samples (0.1no coexisting magnetite. Chalcopyrite is a common accessory mineral of pyrite and pyrrhotite in all the samples. Textures in some samples suggest that it formed as an exsolution product from pyrrhotite. Extensive vein networks of magnetite and pyrite, associated principally with the pyroxene and amphibole, give evidence for a pervasive, highly oxidizing fluid phase. Thermodynamic analysis of the assemblage pyrrhotite, pyrite and magnetite yields consistent high oxidation states at 700–800 °C and 8 kbar. The oxygen fugacity in our most oxidized pyrrhotite-bearing sample is 10^?12.65 bar at 770 °C. There are strong indications that the Shevaroy Hills granulites recrystallized in the presence of an alkali-rich, low H₂O-activity fluid, probably a concentrated brine. It cannot be demonstrated at present whether the high oxidation states were set by initially oxidized protoliths or effected by the postulated fluids. The high correspondence of maximally Rb-depleted samples with the highest recorded oxidation states suggests that the Rb depletion event coincided with the oxidation event, probably during breakdown of biotite to orthopyroxene+K-feldspar. We speculate that these alterations were effected by exhalations from deep-seated alkali basalts, which provided both heat and high oxygen fugacity, low a_H2O fluids. It will be of interest to determine whether greatly Rb-depleted granulites in other Precambrian terranes show similar highly-oxidizing signatures.     

Formation of Al-rich titanite (CaTiSiO4O–CaAlSiO4OH) reaction rims on ilmenite in metamorphic rocks as a function of fH2O and fO2

Reaction rims of titanite on ilmenite are described in samples from four terranes of amphibolite-facies metapelites and amphibolites namely the Tamil Nadu area, southern India; the Val Strona area of the Ivrea-Verbano Zone, northern Italy, the Bamble Sector, southern Norway, and the northwestern Austroalpine Ötztal Complex. The titanite rims, and hence the stability of titanite (CaTiSiO₄O) and Al–OH titanite, i.e. vuaganatite (hypothetical end-member CaAlSiO₄OH), are discussed in the light of fH₂O- and fO₂-buffered equilibria involving clinopyroxene, amphibole, biotite, ilmenite, magnetite, and quartz in the systems CaO–FeO/Fe₂O₃–TiO₂–SiO₂–H₂O–O₂ (CFTSH) and CaO–FeO/Fe₂O₃–Al₂O₃–SiO₂–H₂O–O₂ (CFASH) present in each of the examples. Textural evidence suggests that titanite reaction rims on ilmenite in rocks from Tamil Nadu, Val Strona, and the Bamble Sector originated most likely due to hydration reactions such as clinopyroxene + ilmenite + quartz + H₂O = amphibole + titanite and oxidation reactions such as amphibole + ilmenite + O₂ = titanite + magnetite + quartz + H₂O during amphibolite-facies metamorphism, or, as in the case of the Ötztal Complex, during a subsequent greenschist-facies overprint. Overstepping of these reactions requires fH₂O and fO₂ to be high for titanite formation, which is also in accordance with equilibria involving Al–OH titanite. This study shows that, in addition to P, T, bulk–rock composition and composition of the coexisting fluid, fO₂ and fH₂O also play an important role in the formation of Al-bearing titanite during amphibolite- and greenschist-facies metamorphism.     

Prograde metamorphism and decompression of the Gföhl gneiss, Czech Republic

Quartzofeldspathic rocks of the Gföhl gneiss from the Moldanubian of the Czech Republic span amphibolite-to granulite-facies, and are associated with eclogite. Protomylonitic fabrics related to terminal tectonic emplacement and reworking of the gneiss are common. Some non-mylonitic rocks, however, preserve early, prograde features (e.g., Opx-rimmed Hbl in metabasites), whereas others have characteristics generally associated with near-isothermal decompression (e.g., Pl-Opx moats separating Grt and Qtz in metabasites; Crd ± Spl coronas on Grt and aluminosilicates in metapelites); the unequivocal distinction between prograde and decompressional features in these rocks, however, may not be possible or even justified. For example, some metapelites contain growth-zoned (i.e., rimward increase in X_Mg) garnets that also record evidence (i.e., rimward decrease in X_Ca, compensated by the presence of reversely-zoned plagioclase in the same rock) of decompression. In rare instances, eclogitic rocks (P > 11 kbar) interpreted as tectonic enclaves within the gneiss also record mineralogic evidence of decompression (e.g., Crd-Opx-Spr coronas on pyrope). In metapelites, plagioclase-cored coronal garnets with high Prp/Grs ratios (˜ 2.5) record near-isobaric cooling from near the thermal maximum at a relatively shallow but undetermined crustal level.

Unlike Gföhl gneisses elsewhere (e.g., in Austria), the rocks described here do not preserve evidence of extreme metamorphic conditions. Texturally stable Grt-Bt pairs in non-mylonitic samples give T_max < 750 °C. P_max is not known, but prograde metamorphism apparently progressed from the kyanite to sillimanite fields, implying P ˜ 8 kbar at the maximum Grt-Bt temperature. At these conditions, dehydration of mafic gneiss occurred in the presence of a CO₂-rich (X_CO2 ˜ 0.85) pore fluid     

A model for garnet and plagioclase growth in pelitic schists: implications for thermobarometry and P-T path determinations

Numerical models of the progressive evolution of pelitic schists in the NCMnKFMASH system with the assemblage garnet + biotite + chlorite ± staurolite + plagioclase + muscovite + quartz + H₂O are presented with the goal of predicting compositional changes in garnet and plagioclase along different P-T paths. The numerical models support several conclusions that should prove useful for interpreting the P-T paths of natural parageneses: (i) Garnet may grow along P-T vectors ranging from heating with decompression to cooling with compression. P-T paths deduced from garnet zoning that are inconsistent with these growth vectors are self-contradictory. (ii) There is a systematic relation between garnet and plagioclase composition and growth such that for most P-T paths, garnet growth requires plagioclase consumption. Furthermore, mass balance in a closed system requires that as plagioclase is consumed the remaining plagioclase becomes increasingly albitic. Inclusions of plagioclase in the core of garnet should be more anorthitic than those near the rim and zoned matrix plagioclase should have rims that are more albitic than the cores. Complex plagioclase textures may arise from the local variability of growth and precipitation kinetics. (iii) A decrease of Fe/(Fe + Mg) in a garnet zoning profile is a reliable indicator of increasing temperature for the assemblage modelled. However, there is no single reliable ΔP monitor and inferences about ΔP can only be made by considering plagioclase and garnet together. (iv) Consumption of garnet during the production of staurolite removes material from the outer shell of a garnet and may make recovery of peak metamorphic compositions and P-T conditions impossible. Low ‘peak’temperatures typically recorded by staurolite-bearing assemblages may reflect this phenomenon. (v) Diffusional homogenization of garnet affects the computed P-T path and results in a clockwise rotation of the computed P-T vector relative to the true P-T path.     

Spinel to garnet lherzolite transition in relation to high temperature palaeogeotherms,eastern Australia∗

Eastern Australian xenolith suites and lithospheric transition zones are re‐evaluated using new mineral analyses and thermo‐barometry. Some suites, including that defining the southeastern Australian geotherm, are not fully equilibrated. New pressure‐temperature estimates, based on experimental calibrations that allow for Cr and Ti in pyroxenes, differ from earlier results by up to 0.6 GPa and 250°C. The preferred Brey and Köhler 1990 thermo‐barometer indicates a shallower cooler garnet lherzolite transition under Mesozoic New South Wales (50 km depth at 980° C) than for Tertiary Tasmania (60 km depth at 1090°C).

Deviations between palaeogeotherms may reflect: (i) higher temperature gradients for Tasmania and New South Wales (by 100°C/0.1 GPa) related to abnormally hot mantle; (ii) higher temperature gradients linked to more voluminous magmatism, largely Cenozoic in age; and (iii) complex temperature perturbations linked to different levels of magmatic intrusion.

These deviations blur reconstructions of lithospheric assemblages, where temperature is determinable and pressure comes from an assumed geotherm. Potential errors in locating spinel lherzolite and crust‐mantle transition assemblages may reach 15 km in depth. The highest Tertiary geothermal gradients in Tasmania and northeastern New South Wales match those from regions of active lithospheric extension. The young southeastern Australian geotherm is decaying from a higher temperature equilibration, based on experimental work, and Mesozoic New South Wales geotherms trend towards the lower gradients of bounding cratons.     

固溶体矿物的性质对计算河南西峡红柱石矿形成条件的影响

自然界的大多数造岩矿的是由两种或多种组分混合而成的固溶体。因此，在矿物，岩石和矿床等地质体的平衡热力学研究中不可避免地要涉及固溶体矿物热力学地为的问题。河南省西峡县杨乃沟红柱石矿泥质片岩中仅出现红柱石而没有蓝晶石和夕线石，红柱石矿物包裹体测温结果为420－600℃。通过矿物共生平衡p-t曲线所计算出的片岩形成温度和压力条件也应位于上述岩石学和岩相学等特征所限定的范围内。以此为基础，通过构筑矿物共生p-t平衡曲线的方法，对片岩中若干固溶体矿物理想性／非理想性问题进行了研究。其中斜长石必须以非理想固溶体处理，而石榴子石，黑云母和白云母视作理想固溶体的计算结果同片岩的岩石学和岩相学等特征相一致。
