Rare earth and other trace element mobility during mylonitization: a comparison of the Brevard and Hope Valley shear zones in the Appalachian Mountains, USA

In progressing from a granitoid mylonite to an ultramylonite in the Brevard shear zone in North Carolina, Ca and LOI (H₂O) increase, Si, Mg, K, Na, Ba, Sr, Ta, Cs and Th decrease, while changes in Al, Ti, Fe, P, Sc, Rb, REE, Hf, Cr and U are relatively small. A volume loss of 44% is calculated for the Brevard ultramylonite relative to an Al–Ti–Fe isocon. The increase in Ca and LOI is related to a large increase in retrograde epidote and muscovite in the ultramylonite, the decreases in K, Na, Si, Ba and Sr reflect the destruction of feldspars, and the decrease in Mg is related to the destruction of biotite during mylonitization. In an amphibolite facies fault zone separating grey and pink granitic gneisses in the Hope Valley shear zone in New England, compositional similarity suggests the ultramylonite is composed chiefly of the pink gneisses. Utilizing an Al–Ti–Fe isocon for the pink gneisses, Sc, Cr, Hf, Ta, U, Th and M-HREE are relatively unchanged, Si, LOI, K, Mg, Rb, Cs and Ba are enriched, and Ca, Na, P, Sr and LREE are lost during deformation. In contrast to the Brevard mylonite, the Hope Valley mylonite appears to have increased in volume by about 70%, chiefly in response to an introduction of quartz. Chondrite-normalized REE patterns of granitoids from both shear zones are LREE-enriched and have prominent negative Eu anomalies. Although REE increase in abundance in the Brevard ultramylonites (reflecting the volume loss), the shape of the REE pattern remains unchanged. In contrast, REE and especially LREE decrease in abundance with increasing deformation of the Hope Valley gneisses. Mass balance calculations indicate that ≥95% of the REE in the Brevard rocks reside in titanite. In contrast, in the Hope Valley rocks only 15–40% of the REE can be accounted for collectively by titanite, apatite and zircon. Possible sites for the remaining REE are allanite, fluorite or grain boundaries. Loss of LREE from the pink gneisses during deformation may have resulted from decreases in allanite and perhaps apatite or by leaching ofy REE from grain boundaries by fluids moving through the shear zone. Among the element ratios most resistant to change during mylonitization in the Brevard shear zone are La/Yb, Eu/Eu*, Sm/Nd, La/Sc, Th/Sc, Th/Yb, Cr/Th, Th/U and Hf/Ta, whereas the most stable ratios in the Hope Valley shear zone are K/Rb, Rb/Cs, Th/U, Eu/Eu*, Th/Sc, Th/Yb, Sm/Nd, Th/Ta, Hf/Ta and Hf/Yb. However, until more trace element data are available from other shear zones, these ratios should not be used alone to identify protoliths of deformed rocks.

Geochemistry of the Baishitouquan Amazonite—and Topaz—bearing Granite in the Mid—Tianshan Belt,Xinjiang,China

The Baishitouquan amazonite and topaz-bearing granite is one of the typical high-rubidium and high-fluorine granites in the eastern part of the Mid-Tianshan belt. This intrusion is in sharp contact with Mid-Proterozoic schists, gneisses and marbles, and is composed of four zones transitional from the bottom upwards: leucogranite, amazonite granite, topaz-bearing amazonite granite and topaz quartz albitite. The Baishitouquan granite contains highly ordered K-feldspar, Li-rich mica, Mn-rich garnet, α-quartz and low temperature zircon and is chemically high in Si, K, Na, Al, Li, Rb, Cs and F, and low in Ti, Fe, Ca, Mg, P, Co, Ni, Cr, V, Sr and Ba, with Na₂O<K₂O. Amazonite from the amazonite granite zone contains 1867 ppm Rb. The F contents of bulk rocks are 3040 and 4597 for the amazonite granite and topaz-bearing amazonite granite zones, respectively. These two zones have δ¹⁸O values of 8.97–9.85‰ (SMOW) and show flat REE distribution patterns with strong Eu depletion. K-Ar and Rb-Sr ages of this intrusion are 226. 6 Ma and 209. 6 Ma respectively, with an initial⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratio of 0.987±0.213. The Baishitouquan granite is the product of crystallization of a low temperature, and water, rubidium and fluorine-rich magma, which may have been derived from partial melting of muscovite-rich crustal rocks. Consolidation of this granite involved two contrasting and successive stages: melt crystallization and hydrothermal metasomatism and precipitation. Various geological features of this granite were formed during the transition from the magmatic to the hydrothermal stage.     

Symplectite breakdown of Ca-rich almandines in upper amphibolite-facies Skagit Gneiss,North Cascades,Washington

In upper amphibolite-facies Skagit Gneiss, certain rocks, usually carrying hornblende, display post-kinematic breakdown of almandine-rich garnets to symplectite consisting of plagioclase plus biotite and/or hornblende. Other almandine-rich garnets, widespread in hornblende-free schists and gneisses, remained stable to the end of the metamorphic cycle. Analysed garnets with symplectite coronas have 14 to 30 mol.% grandite. A set of garnets free of such coronas have 6 to 9% grandite and contain relatively more pyrope.In all symplectite-bearing rocks selected for mineral analyses, symplectite plagioclase is more calcic than the earlier main-fabric plagioclase. Fe and Mn are higher, and Mg and Ti lower, in symplectite than in main-fabric biotite and hornblende, except where late re-equilibration has been locally accomplished. Main-fabric biotite, hornblende, and cummingtonite partly preserve a record of original element partitioning between these phases and garnet, indicating that equilibrium was approached during the essentially syn-kinematic main stage of the metamorphism. Between the main-stage phases and their post-kinematic symplectite counterparts, equilibrium has rarely been attained, despite high T and presence of H₂O. Instead, there are sequences of arrested chemical exchanges and of highly incomplete attainments of successive equilibria. The principles revealed by this study are thought to be more broadly applicable to questions of equilibrium vs. disequilibrium in regional-metamorphic sequences.Combined with petrographic-petrologic data, the mineral analyses permit one to calculate model equations that quantitatively describe symplectite-forming reactions, including the amounts of materials added to and removed from garnets transformed into symplectites. Na, K, minor Ba, H₂O, and part of the Ti present were added; major portions of the garnets' Fe and of their subordinate Mn were removed. Transfers of Mg, Al, and Si during symplectite formation were minor, if any. Source and disposal of added and removed substances are discussed. The mass balance of symplectite formation ranges from significant losses in all hornblende-bearing reactions examined to minor gains in some only-biotite-bearing reactions. V is positive for all reactions examined and ranges from a few per cent for subordinate only-hornblende-bearing symplectites to somewhat over 50% for certain only-biotite-bearing symplectites; intermediate values are obtained for symplectites carrying both hornblende and biotite.     

Metasedimentary rocks from the Bol’shoi Cheremshan Group in the East European Platform basement: Initial mineral composition and petrogeochemical properties

The initial normative mineral composition of some metasedimentary rocks (high-alumina crystalline schists, aluminous gneisses, and eulysites) from the Archean Bol’shoi Cheremshan Group is considered. Based on some data (distribution of data points available for these rocks in diagnostic diagrams, values of several indicator ratios, and initial rock composition), it is assumed that examined rocks were partly formed after highly mature sediments (high-alumina crystalline schists and gneisses), while biotite-garnet-andesine gneisses represent products of graywacke sediments. Elevated concentrations of some indicator elements (Fe, Cr, Ni, V, Zn, Pb, and others) imply that material in the sedimentation paleobasin was likely derived from provenances composed of variable lithologies (ultramafic, mafic, intermediate, and acid rocks). It seems that conditions in this paleobasin were favorable for the development of organic life. It is shown that correlation between some elements (Ti, V vs. Al; Ba, Pb vs. K; Sr vs. Ca; La vs. Na; and others) typical of Phanerozoic sedimentary rocks is also observed in the rocks. The possible contents of organic matter (C_org) and U in primary sediments of metasedimentary rocks of the Bol’shoi Cheremshan Group in the East European Platform basement are reconstructed.     

Metasomatic crystallization of muscovite in granite and tourmaline in schist related to pegmatite emplacement near Yellowknife,Canada

Numerous pegmatite dikes occur in the Sparrow pluton (muscovite-biotite granite) and in the adjacent cordierite-zone schist-hornfels of the Yellowknife Supergroup. Where pegmatite dikes cut granite, the adjacent granite is enriched in muscovite and apatite, and depleted in K-feldspar. Mass transfer calculations, based on rock, mineral, and modal analyses, indicate that H, P, and locally B, Ti, Fe, and Ca were added, and K, Sr, Ba, and locally Na were removed (hydrogen metasomatism). In one alteration zone (8 cm wide) the calculated change (in terms of mols/gram of unaltered granite) is, 600 K-feldspar+24 biotite+190 plagioclase +[770 H+36 P+3 Ti+13 Fe+13 Ca] 400 muscovite+1100 quartz +11 apatite+[240 Na+260 K]. Where pegmatite dikes cut schist-hornfels (biotite-plagioclase-quartz), the adjacent rock is, in places, enriched in tourmaline, apatite, and quartz, and depleted in biotite and plagioclase. These alteration zones are variable in width; most are less than 20 cm wide. Mass transfer calculations, based on rock, mineral, and modal analyses, indicate that B, P, Zn, and locally Ca, Fe, and Al were added, and that Na, K, Fe, Rb, Sr, Ba, and locally Mg and Si were removed (boron metasomatism). In one zone, 2 cm wide, the calculated reaction (in units of mols/gram of unaltered schist) is, 730 biotite+1530 plagioclase +[1080 B+600 H+430 P+360 Ca] 480 tourmaline+480 quartz+115 apatite +[3630 Si+870 Na+590 K+110 Fe]. Changes in the volume fraction of muscovite, K-feldspar, tourmaline, and biotite, relative to distance from pegmatite, are progressive, and in most alteration zones may be expressed by use of an error-function equation. Some tourmaline zones are more complex. Zone formation is considered in terms of a steady-state reaction model in which grainboundary diffusion is the transport mechanism.

Geochemistry of the Archean low- to high-grade transition zone,Southern India

The transition zone between Archean low- and high-grade rocks in southern India represents eroded crustal levels representative of 15–20 km. It is comprised chiefly of tonalitic gneisses with some varieties showing incipient charnockitization and of minor amounts of granitic gneiss and charnockite, both of which appear to have developed from the tonalitic gneisses.Tonalitic gneisses and charnockites are similar in major and trace elements composition while granitic gneisses are relatively enriched in Rb, K, Th, Ba and light rare earth element (REE) and depleted in Cr and Sc. All three rock types exhibit enriched light REE patterns with variable positive Eu anomalies. Total REE content decreases with increasing Eu/Eu and SiO₂ and with decreasing Fe₂O_3T and MgO in the tonalitic gneisses and charnockites.An internally consistent model for the production of the tonalitic gneisses involves partial melting of an enriched mafic source with variable ratios of hornblende to clinopyroxene. This source, in turn, is derived from an ultramafic mantle relatively enriched in incompatible elements. Granitic gneisses form from tonalitic gneisses by alkali metasomatism from chloride-bearing fluids with high H₂O/CO₂ ratios purged from the lower crust by CO₂, and charnockites are produced from tonalitic gneisses (and granitic gneisses) by ischochemical CO₂ metamorphism following the alkali metasomatism.     

Geochemistry of blackwall sequences in the Habachtal emerald deposit,Hohe Tauern,Austria Part 1: Presentation of geochemical data

Summary The Habachtal emerald deposit, Hohe Tauern, is composed of blackwall sequences of the type: serpentinite — talc schist — ±chlorite schist or actinolite schist — biotite schist —albite gneiss and/or micaschist. 2 serpentinites, 33 blackwall rocks, 9 micaschists, 10 albite gneisses, and 5 aplitic gneisses were analyzed for major elements, and for Li, Be, Cr, Ni, Zn, Zr, Sn, in 36 samples also for Sc, Cu, Rb, Sr, Cs, Ba, W. The blackwall formation is due to a metasomatic exchange involving a transfer of Mg from the serpentinite to the silicic country rock, and of Si, Ca, K, and Al from the country rock to the serpentinite. Some of the trace elements were also mobile: Compared to serpentinite, Li and Be were enriched in all the blackwall rocks, and Sn and Cs in the actinolite, chlorite, and biotite schists; Sr was concentrated in the dolomite-bearing talc schists, and Zn, Rb, and Ba predominantly in the biotite schists.

K- and Si-Metasomatism, Mineral Transformation and Formation of Granitoids from Basic Rocks in Qooshchi Area, NW Iran. A Mineralogical Context

The Qooshchi area lies to northwest of Orumieh Lake in western Azerbaijan, NW Iran. A basement metamorphic complex, consisting of Precambrian schists and gneisses, has been intruded by gabbres and diorites. Granitolds are grouped into five suites according to their mineralogy, texture and exposed features. The main body, pink Qooshchi granite, and apophyse-like, myrmekite-bearing granit-oids are discussed in this paper. On the basis of field observations and microscopic studies, an intensive metasonmtism has overprinted the country rocks, especially gabbros, transforming them into a more felsic composition. A prior event of intensive deformation and cataclasis preceded the metasonmtism, al-lowing the introduction of hydrothermal fluids. K-metasonmtism converted plagiuclase into K-feldspar (microdme), myrmekite, and sodic plagioclase as Si-metasomatism replaced the ferromagnesian silicates by quartz. Apophyse-like bodies within gabbros, called leucometasomatites, are formed during this process.     

Fluid flow and Al transport during quartz-kyanite vein formation, Unst, Shetland Islands, Scotland

Quartz‐kyanite veins, adjacent alteration selvages and surrounding ‘precursor’ wall rocks in the Dalradian Saxa Vord Pelite of Unst in the Shetland Islands (Scotland) were investigated to constrain the geochemical alteration and mobility of Al associated with channelized metamorphic fluid infiltration during the Caledonian Orogeny. Thirty‐eight samples of veins, selvages and precursors were collected, examined using the petrographic microscope and electron microprobe, and geochemically analysed. With increasing grade, typical precursor mineral assemblages include, but are not limited to, chlorite+chloritoid, chlorite+chloritoid+kyanite, chlorite+chloritoid+staurolite and garnet+staurolite+kyanite+chloritoid. These assemblages coexist with quartz, white mica (muscovite, paragonite, margarite), and Fe‐Ti oxides. The mineral assemblage of the selvages does not change noticeably with metamorphic grade, and consists of chloritoid, kyanite, chlorite, quartz, white mica and Fe‐Ti oxides. Pseudosections for selvage and precursor bulk compositions indicate that the observed mineral assemblages were stable at regional metamorphic conditions of 550–600 °C and 0.8–1.1 GPa. A mass balance analysis was performed to assess the nature and magnitude of geochemical alteration that produced the selvages adjacent to the veins. On average, selvages lost about −26% mass relative to precursors. Mass losses of Na, K, Ca, Rb, Sr, Cs, Ba and volatiles were −30 to −60% and resulted from the destruction of white mica. Si was depleted from most selvages and transported locally to adjacent veins; average selvage Si losses were about −50%. Y and rare earth elements were added due to the growth of monazite in cracks cutting apatite. The mass balance analysis also suggests some addition of Ti occurred, consistent with the presence of rutile and hematite‐ilmenite solid solutions in veins. No major losses of Al from selvages were observed, but Al was added in some cases. Consequently, the Al needed to precipitate vein kyanite was not derived locally from the selvages. Veins more than an order of magnitude thicker than those typically observed in the field would be necessary to accommodate the Na and K lost from the selvages during alteration. Therefore, regional transport of Na and K out of the local rock system is inferred. In addition, to account for the observed abundances of kyanite in the veins, large fluid‐rock ratios (10²–10³ m³_fluid m⁻³_rock) and time‐integrated fluid fluxes in excess of ∼10⁴ m³_fluid m⁻²_rock are required owing to the small concentrations of Al in aqueous fluids. It is concluded that the quartz‐kyanite veins and their selvages were produced by regional‐scale advective mass transfer by means of focused fluid flow along a thrust fault zone. The results of this study provide field evidence for considerable Al mass transport at greenschist to amphibolite facies metamorphic conditions, possibly as a result of elevated concentrations of Al in metamorphic fluids due to alkali‐Al silicate complexing at high pressures.     

相山矿田邹家山铀矿床碱交代矿化蚀变岩地球化学

相山矿田邹家山铀矿床成矿作用与碱交代关系密切。钠、钾的带入和带出极大地影响铀成矿作用过程,钠交代和钾交代对铀成矿的影响差异明显。本文以邹家山铀矿床中典型的钠化和钾化矿体为研究对象,通过比较两矿体剖面的地球化学特征,研究其异同,探讨钠交代、钾交代与铀成矿作用关系,得出以下认识:(1)与矿体两侧的围岩相比,钠交代和钾交代矿石中都富U和Mo,而Ba含量明显降低;(2)钠交代对原岩化学成分的改变不强。除了钠含量明显增高、钾含量明显降低、钠钾摩尔比M(Na2O/K2O)明显增大外,矿石与原(或围)岩的化学成分相差不大,总碱摩尔数M(Na2O+K2O)几乎不变;(3)钾交代对原岩的矿物及化学成分改变很大。除钾高、钠低等含量变化外,强烈去Si和Na,M(Na2O+K2O)有20%~30%的减少,而且许多微量(成矿)元素含量明显增加,特别是稀土元素明显增高,且重稀土增加更快;(4)两类碱交代中行为反差最大的组分是Na2O、K2O、Si O2和REE。钠交代过程中,Na2O和Si O2增加,K2O和REE减少,M(Na2O/K2O)明显增大;而钾交代过程正相反;(5)在相山铀成矿过程中,仅有钠交代时铀的含量较低,强钾交代是形成富铀矿的必要条件。     

Mineralization of pegmatites in parts of the Oban Massif, Southeastern Nigeria： A preliminary analysis

The Oban Basement Massif of southeastern Nigeria is composed of metamorphosed rocks including phyllites, schists, gneisses and amphibolites cut by pegmatitic dykes of varying length and thickness, which intruded the metamorphic rocks. Preliminary geochemical study and analysis of these pegmatites from western Oban Massif at Uyanga, Akwa Ibami, Iwuru I, Iwuru Ⅱ and Igbofia showed that the pegmatites are highly albitized. This is incon-sistent with earlier postulations that the pegmatites in this part of Nige...     

Rock-Forming feldspars of the Khibiny alkaline pluton,Kola Peninsula,Russia

This paper describes the structural-compositional zoning of the well-known Khibiny pluton in regard to rock-forming feldspars. The content of K-Na-feldspars increases inward and outward from the Main foidolite ring. The degree of coorientation of tabular K-Na-feldspar crystals sharply increases in the Main ring zone, and microcline-dominant foyaite turns into orthoclase-dominant foyaite. The composition of K-Na-feldspars in the center of the pluton and the Main ring zone is characterized by an enrichment in Al. This shift is compensated by a substitution of some K and Na with Ba (the Main ring zone) or by an addition of K and Na cations to the initially cation-deficient microcline (the central part of the pluton). Feldspars of volcanosedimentary rocks occurring as xenoliths in foyaite primarily corresponded to plagioclase An_15–40, but high-temperature fenitization and formation of hornfels in the Main ring zone gave rise to the crystallization of anorthoclase subsequently transformed into orthoclase and albite due to cooling and further fenitization. Such a zoning is the result of filling the Main ring fault zone within the homogeneous foyaite pluton with a foidolite melt, which provided the heating and potassium metasomatism of foyaite and xenoliths of volcanosedimentary rocks therein. The process eventually led to the transformation of foyaite into rischorrite-lyavochorrite, while xenoliths were transformed into aluminum hornfels with anorthoclase, annite, andalusite, topaz, and sekaninaite.

Rb-Sr and U-Pb isotope studies on migmatites from the Schwarzwald (Germany): constraints on isotopic resetting during Variscan high-temperature metamorphism

Mineral and isotope studies were undertaken on migmatites from the Schwarzwald, Moldanubian zone of the Variscan belt. The aims of the study were to date the migmatite formation and to determine the processes involved in migmatization in order to evaluate their influence on isotopic resetting. Textural evidence and the comparison of mineral compositions from leucosomes and mesosomes of two centimetre-scale migmatite profiles, respectively, suggest that migmatitic textures and mineral assemblages were formed by metamorphic segregation (deformation-enhanced mass transport) rather than by partial melting (anatexis). The results of Rb-Sr thin-slab dating on these profiles indicate that Sr isotopes were not completely reset during migmatization. No true isochron ages, but ages of approximate isotopic homogenization were obtained on the thin slabs by calculating ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios back to various stages in their evolution. The coincidence of these Rb-Sr data with U-Pb ages of monazites from migmatites and non-migmatitic gneisses shows that gneisses and migmatites were formed during the same high-temperature event in the Carboniferous (330-335 Ma). The observation that high-temperature metamorphism failed to equilibrate Sr isotopes on the centimetre-scale imposes limitations on the use of conventional whole-rock isochron techniques in dating migmatites.     

Plagioclase compositions and non-anatectic origin of migmatitic gneisses in Northern Cascade mountains of Washington State

Regionally developed migmatitic gneisses make up most of the Skagit Gneiss, though there are some orthogneisses also, derived from pre- to late-metamorphic intrusives. The migmatites contain countless, though quantitatively subordinate, remnants of biotite schists, less abundant amphibolitic rocks, and minor varieties of metasediments. Biotite schists (fine-grained paragneisses) predominantly are plagioclase-rich, having the compositions of highly immature graywackes; quartz-rich varieties are minor, and alumina-excess rocks very rare. There are para- and ortho-amphibolites, the latter of basaltic-gabbroic parentage. Leucocratic hornblende schists are largely meta-sedimentary. Apart from subordinate varieties in which K-feldspar is a major constituent, the leucocratic migmatitic gneisses have (leuco-) trondhjemitic and, to a lesser extent, quartz-dioritic compositions.The Skagit Gneiss comprises an epidote-bearing subfacies in which sodic andesine is the most calcic plagioclase, and a predominant epidote-free subfacies where plagioclase ranges from oligoclase to bytownite-anorthite. All of the former and at least most of the latter subfacies belongs in the staurolite-kyanite zone. Various mineralogical features suggest a low-P variant within the field of Barrovian-type metamorphism. Even the epidote-free subfacies did not reach the highest grades of regional metamorphism; temperatures are estimated to have been on the order of 600° C there. For the epidote-bearing subfacies, attainment of anatectic temperatures is still more improbable.A systematic study of composition and zoning of plagioclase reveals, statistically as well as for lit-par-lit samples, close relationships between the plagioclase of leucocratic migmatitic gneisses and that of associated schists, amphibolites, etc., indicating that the former was directly derived from the latter by metamorphic recrystallization, with a small shift towards more sodic plagioclase compositions in most, but not all, of the gneisses. Plagioclase relationships and other data seem to rule out igneous injection as the chief agent of migmatization. An anatectic origin of the leucocratic migmatitic gneisses is unlikely for the following reasons. (1) The plagioclase of the gneisses ranges widely in composition (up to, and locally even beyond, calcic andesine), depending on the parent-rock plagioclase. (2) Major K-feldspar is lacking in most of the gneisses which, actually, are impoverished in K₂O compared to parent schists. (3) Most of the gneisses have bulk compositions far from those of lowest melting in the granite system. (4) There is no wholesale basification of schist and amphibolite remnants. (5) Ratios of leucocratic gneiss to remnant material commonly are far too high for all of the former to have been split off the latter. (6) The sequence of migmatization, such as amphibolite(quartz)-dioritic gneiss trondhjemitic gneissleuco-trondhjemitic pegmatitic gneiss, is opposite to that to be expected in progressive anatexis. (7) A similar solid-state history of deformation and recrystallization is recorded in gneisses and remnants. (8) The metamorphic grade does not support anatexis. Points (4) + (5) also argue against metamorphic differentiation having been the sole agent of migmatization.Small-scale metamorphic-differentiation features occur, but gradations from schist, etc., into leucocratic gneiss are widespread, not only across but also along the strike. Replacement commonly is associated with prominent development of porphyroblastic plagioclase. On a much larger scale, bulk-compositional changes are indicated where thick schist- or amphibolitederived leucocratic gneiss sequences contain only subordinate remnants of their parent rocks. Such changes imply introduction of material — if not by injection, then by metasomatism. An alternative model, namely, simple isoohemical recrystallization mimetic after patterns of primary sedimentary differentiation would require that (leuco)-trondhjemitic arkoses were intimately associated with and graded into highly immature graywackes and even basalts and gabbros. Nor can this model be reconciled with plagioclase relationships and other petrographic data, or with certain aspects of the actual geometry of the migmatites. Both metamorphic differentiation and metasomatism are believed to have contributed to migmatization. Plagioclase data point both ways. Overall compositional changes in large rock volumes suggest that metasomatism was a first-order agent of regional migmatization while metamorphic differentiation mostly played a more subsidiary role.In the sequences from predominant types of schist and amphibolite to leucocratic gneisses, alumina contents are nearly constant. Assuming that alumina approaches something like an internal standard, the chemical balance of migmatization can be estimated. Small but systematic increase in Na₂O (by 1 to over 2 wt. %) is linked with marked increase in SiO₂ (on the order of 5 to 10% for schist-, and more for amphibolite-derived gneisses) and with removal of iron and magnesia. CaO does not change systematically, except for decline during the first stages of migmatization of amphibolite. Removal of iron and magnesia is coupled with loss of about 0.5 to about 1.5% K₂O in biotite-schist-derived gneisses (except in subordinate varieties with major K-feldspar). In the series amphibolite-gneiss, gain in K₂O due to progressive biotitization of hornblende is followed by loss of K₂O in leucocratic members. Some of the potash set free from migmatized schists is accounted for by late-metamorphic K activity (biotitization of hornblende in amphibolites and their derivatives, also biotitization of garnet, late growth of minor K-feldspar in many but not all gneisses).Small-scale but widespread late-stage features, such as local intrusive motion of crystalline migmatite, crosscutting pegmatites, etc., are not discussed, as the topic of the paper is the main-stage regional migmatization.Subordinate late-metamorphically intruded orthogneisses, most with major K-feldspar, postdate the autochthonous migmatites and are genetically unrelated to them. They rose from depths where T was high enough for melting to occur. They invaded a non-migmatized belt west of the Skagit Gneiss also.
