Fluid infiltration into retrograde granulites of the Southern Marginal Zone(Limpopo high grade terrain)is exemplified by hydration reactions.shear zone hosted metasomatism,and lode gold mineralisation.Hydration reactions include the breakdown of cordierite and orthopyroxene to gedrite kyanite,and anthophyllite,respectively.Metamorphic petrology,fluid inclusions,and field data indicate that a low H_2O-activity carbon-saturated CO_2-rich and a saline aqueous fluid infiltrated the Southern Marginal Zone during exhumation.The formation of anthophyllite after orthopyroxene eslablished a regional retrograde anthophyllite-in isograd and occurred at P-T conditions of- 6 kbar and 610 C,which fixes the minimum mole fraction of II.0 in the CO_2-rich fluid phase at- 0.1.The maximum H_2O mole fraction is hxed by the lower temperature limit(~800℃) for partial melting at ~0.3.C-O-H fluid calculations show that the CO_2-rich fluid had an oxygen fugacity that was 0.6 log10 units higher than that of the fayalite-magnetitequartz buffer and that the CO_2/(CO_2+CH_4) mole ratio of this fluid was 1.The presence of dominantly relatively low density CO_2-rich fluid inclusions in the hydrated granulites indicates that the fluid pressure was less than the lithostatic pressure.This can be explained by strike slip faulting and/or an increase of the rock permeability caused by hydration reactions. 相似文献

Isochemical conversion of garnet-biotite bearing paragneiss to charnockite in the Precambrian Khondalite belt of southern Kerala is described from Ponmudi area. Petrographic evidences indicate the formation of hypersthene by the breakdown of biotite in the presence of quartz following the reaction: Biotite + quartz → hypersthene + K-feldspar + vapour. The estimated pressure — temperature conditions of metamorphism are around 5–7 kbars and 750° ± 40°C. Presence of CO2-rich, mixed CO2-H2O and H2O-rich inclusions were noticed in gneiss as well as in charnockites. Charnockites contain abundant CO2-rich inclusions. 相似文献

The cordierite-bearing gneisses occurring as elongate patches in an 8- to 10-km-wide zone along the Achankovil fault-lineament at the northern margin of the southern Kerala crustal segment represent an important lithological unit in the Archaean granulite terrane of south India. The textural relationships in these rocks are consistent with the following main reactions: (1) garnet+quartz=cordierite+hypersthene; (2) garnet+sillimanite+quartz=cordierite; (3) hypersthene+sillimanite+quartz=cordierite; (4) sillimanite+spinel=cordierite+corundum; and (5) biotite+quartz+sillimanite=cordierite+K-feldspar. Many of the mineral associations and reaction textures, including the remarkable preservation of symplectites, are indicative of partial replacement of high-pressure assemblages by cordierite-bearing lower-pressure ones during an event of rapid decompression. Temperature estimates from coexisting mineral phases show 710° (garnet-biotite), 791° (garnet-cordierite) and 788° C (garnet-orthopyroxene). Pressure estimates from mineral assemblages range from 5.4 to 7 kb. Detailed fluid inclusion studies in quartz associated with cordierite show high-density CO2 (0.80–0.95 g/cm3) as the dominant fluid phase, with traces of probable CH4 (?) in the sillimanite-bearing rocks. The isochore for the higher-density fluid inclusions defines a pressure of 5.5 kb. The fracture-bound CO2 and CO2-H2O (±CH4?) inclusions indicate simultaneous entrapment at 400° C and 1.7 kb in the cordierite-hypersthene assemblage and 340° C and 1.2 kb in the cordierite-sillimanite assemblage. The P-T path delineated from combined solid and fluid data corresponds to the piezothermic array of the gneisses and is characterized by T-convex nature, indicative of rapid and virtually isothermal crustal uplift, probably aided by extensional tectonics. 相似文献

The occurrence of talc and tremolite in a temperature gradient was investigated in siliceous calcite-dolomite sediments exposed along a strip in the southeastern part of the Damara Orogen. Five bivariant reactions may lead to the formation of talc and tremolite:
- 3 dolomite+4 quartz+1 H2O ? 1 talc+3 calcite+3 CO2
- 5 talc+6 calcite+4 quartz ? 1 tremolite+6 CO2+2 H2O
- 2 talc+3 calcite ? 1 tremolite+1 dolomite+1 CO2+1 H2O
- 5 dolomite+8 quartz+1 H2O ? 1 tremolite+3 calcite+7 CO2
- 2 dolomite+1 talc+4 quartz ? 1 tremolite+4 CO2.

We evaluate balanced metasomatic reactions and model coupled reactive and isotopic transport at a carbonatite-gneiss contact at Alnö, Sweden. We interpret structurally channelled fluid flow along the carbonatite-gneiss contact at ~640°C. This caused (1) metasomatism of the gneiss, by the reaction: ${\hbox{biotite} + \hbox{quartz} + \hbox{oligoclase} + \hbox{K}_{2} \hbox{O} +\,\hbox{Na}_{2}\hbox{O} \pm \hbox{CaO} \pm \hbox{MgO} \pm \hbox{FeO} = \hbox{albite} + \hbox{K-feldspar} + \hbox{arfvedsonite} + \hbox{aegirene-}\hbox{augite} + \hbox{H}_{2} \hbox{O} + \hbox{SiO}_{2}}We evaluate balanced metasomatic reactions and model coupled reactive and isotopic transport at a carbonatite-gneiss contact
at Aln?, Sweden. We interpret structurally channelled fluid flow along the carbonatite-gneiss contact at ∼640°C. This caused
(1) metasomatism of the gneiss, by the reaction: , (2) metasomatism of carbonatite by the reaction: calcite + SiO2 = wollastonite + CO2, and (3) isotopic homogenization of the metasomatised region. We suggest that reactive weakening caused the metasomatised
region to widen and that the metasomatic reactions are chemically (and possibly mechanically) coupled. Spatial separation
of reaction and isotope fronts in the carbonatite conforms to a chromatographic model which assumes local calcite–fluid equilibrium,
yields a timescale of 102–104 years for fluid–rock interaction and confirms that chemical transport towards the carbonatite interior was mainly by diffusion.
We conclude that most silicate phases present in the studied carbonatite were acquired by corrosion and assimilation of ijolite,
as a reactive by-product of this process and by metasomatism. The carbonatite was thus a relatively pure calcite–H2O−CO2–salt melt or fluid. 相似文献

Re-equilibration processes of natural H2O–CO2–NaCl-rich fluid inclusions quartz are experimentally studied by exposing the samples to a pure H2O external fluid at 600 °C. Experimental conditions are selected at nearly constant pressure conditions (309 MPa) between fluid inclusions and pore fluid, with only fugacity gradients in H2O and CO2, and at differential pressure conditions (394–398 MPa, corresponding to an internal under-pressure) in addition to similar CO2 fugacity gradients and larger H2O fugacity gradients. Modifications of fluid inclusion composition and density are monitored with changes in ice dissolution temperature, clathrate dissolution temperature and volume fraction of the vapour phase at room temperature. Specific modification of these parameters can be assigned to specific processes, such as preferential loss/gain of H2O and CO2, or changes in total volume. A combination of these parameters can clearly distinguish between modifications according to bulk diffusion or deformation processes. Bulk diffusion of CO2 according to fugacity gradients is demonstrated at constant pressure conditions. The estimated preferential loss of H2O is not in accordance with those gradients in both constant pressure and differential pressure experiments. The development of deformation halos in quartz around fluid inclusions that are either under-pressurized or over-pressurized promotes absorption of H2O from the inclusions and inhibits bulk diffusion according to the applied fugacity gradients. 相似文献

四川雪宝顶钨锡铍矿床流体包裹体研究及其意义 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
四川雪宝顶钨锡铍矿床产于花岗岩体与三叠系地层大理岩的接触带,赋矿石英脉受大理岩中的劈理破碎带控制。绿柱石与白钨矿中的包裹体可分为熔融包裹体、流体熔融包裹体和流体包裹体3类。流体包裹体又可分为H2O包裹体、CO2包裹体和CO2-H2O包裹体,其中,绿柱石中以富含CO2-H2O包裹体为显著特征。加热时,富H2O相CO2-H2O包裹体完全均一至H2O相,富CO2相CO2-H2O包裹体完全均一至CO2相,而二者的完全均一温度和均一压力一致,表明它们是同期捕获的CO2-低盐水不混溶包裹体组合。与绿柱石相比,白钨矿中CO2-H2O包裹体数量明显减少,H2O包裹体数量增多,成矿压力与成矿温度均有所降低。含CO2流体在花岗岩体与大理岩接触带附近发生流体不混溶和相分离,CO2的出溶使成矿流体中pH值升高,f(O2)降低,导致钨的溶解度降低而沉淀,这是形成白钨矿的主要原因。 相似文献

Constraining the pressure of crystallization of magmas is an important but elusive task. In this work, we present a method to derive crystallization pressures for rocks that preserve glass compositions (either glass inclusions or matrix glass) representative of equilibration between melt, quartz, and 1 or 2 feldspars. The method relies on the well-known shift of the quartz–feldspar saturation surface toward higher normative quartz melt compositions with decreasing pressure. The critical realization for development of the method is the fact that melt, quartz and feldspars need to be in equilibrium at the liquidus for the melt composition. The method thus consists of calculating the saturation surfaces for quartz and feldspars using rhyolite-MELTS over a range of pressures, and searching for the pressure at which the expected assemblage (quartz+1 feldspar or quartz+2 feldspars) is found at the liquidus. We evaluate errors resulting from uncertainties in glass composition using a series of Monte Carlo simulations for a quartz-hosted glass inclusion composition from the Bishop Tuff, which reveal errors on the order of 20–45 MPa for the quartz+2 feldspars constraint and on the order of 25–100 MPa for the quartz+1 feldspar constraint; we suggest actual errors are closer to the lower bounds of these ranges. We investigate the effect of fluid saturation in two ways: (1) By applying our procedure over a range of water contents for three glass compositions; we show that the effect of fluid saturation is more important at higher pressures (~300 MPa) than at lower pressures (~100 MPa), but reasonable pressure estimates can be derived irrespective of fluid saturation for geologically relevant H2O concentrations >3 wt% and (2) by performing the same type of pressure determinations with a preliminary version of rhyolite-MELTS that includes a H2O–CO2 mixed fluid phase; we use a range of H2O and CO2 concentrations for two compositions characteristic of early-erupted and late-erupted Bishop Tuff glass inclusions and demonstrate that calculated pressures are largely independent of CO2 concentration (for CO2 <1,000 ppm), at least for relatively high H2O contents, as expected in most natural magmas, such that CO2 concentration can be effectively neglected for application of our method. Finally, we demonstrate that pressures calculated using the rhyolite-MELTS geobarometer compare well with those resulting from H2O–CO2 glass inclusion barometry and Al-in-hornblende barometry for an array of natural systems for which data have been compiled from the literature; the agreement is best for quartz-hosted glass inclusions, while matrix glass yields systematically lower rhyolite-MELTS pressures, suggestive of melt evolution during eruptive decompression. 相似文献

In a prograde amphibolite-granulite transition zone in the Namaqualand Metamorphic Complex, metapelites show an interbanding of the amphibolite facies association biotite+sillimanite+quartz with the granulite facies association garnet+cordierite+K-feldspar. Relict graded bedding shows that compositional banding is of sedimentary origin. The garnet-cordierite-K-feldspar gneisses contain quartzofeldspathic segregations surrounding garnets, and have more Fe-rich bulk compositions than the biotite-sillimanite schists.The contrasting asemblages could have formed at the same pressure and temperature provided that a(H2O) was systematically lower in the garnet-cordierite-K-feldspar layers. The a(H2O) reduction resulted from the production of silicate melt by a vapour-absent continuous Fe-Mg reaction such as biotite+sillimanite+quartz=garnet+K-feldspar+liquid which affects Fe-rich compositions before vapour-absent melting occurs in more Mg-rich rocks. The segregations represent the solid and liquid products of the reaction.Such processes imply local control of a(H2O), and indicate that this granulite transition did not result from a regional influx of metasomatising fluids. 相似文献

During the metamorphism of siliceous carbonates, decomposition of tremolite yields diopside, enstatite, quartz and H2O according to the following reaction: 1 tremolite 2 diopside + 3 enstatite + 1 quartz + 1 H2O.For the application to natural processes, it is of special interest to evaluate the equilibrium temperature of this reaction, as a function of the CO2-content of the H2O-CO2 fluid phase for several total pressures. These values were calculated for the total pressures of 1000 and 2000 bars, usingBoyd's experimentally determined univariant equilibrium data [Fig. 1 (Boyd, 1954 and 1959)]. Curves (a) and (b) of Fig. 3 give the results in a temperature-X
CO
2-diagram.The decomposition curves of tremolite intersect the equilibrium curves of other reactions which also take place during metamorphism of siliceous carbonates. If the total pressure can be estimated, these points of intersection together with the appropriate field observations will give information on the temperature and composition of the fluid phase during metamorphism. 相似文献

We have experimentally investigated the kinetics of melting of an aplitic leucogranite (quartz+sodic plagioclase of ≈Ab90+K-feldspar+traces of biotite) at 690, 740, and 800°C, all at 200 MPa H2O. Leucogranite cylinders, 3.5 mm in diameter and 7 mm in length, were run in the presence of excess H2O using cold-seal pressure vessels for 11–2,925 h. At 690 and 740°C and any experimental time, and 800°C and short run times, silicate glass (melt at run conditions) occurs as interconnected films along most of the mineral boundaries and in fractures, with the predominant volume occurring along quartz/feldspars boundaries and quartz/plagioclase/K-feldspar triple junctions. Glass film thickness is roughly constant throughout a given experimental charge and increases with experimental temperature and run duration. The results indicate that H2O-saturated partial melting of a quartzo-feldspathic protolith will produce an interconnected melt phase even at very low degrees (<5 vol%) of partial melting. Crystal grain boundaries are therefore completely occluded with melt films even at the lowest degrees of partial melting, resulting in a change in the mechanism of mass transport through the rock from advection of aqueous vapor to diffusion through silicate melt. At 690 and 740°C the compositions of glasses are homogeneous and (at both temperatures) close to, but not on, the H2O-saturated 200 MPa haplogranite eutectic; glass compositions do not change with run duration. At 800°C glasses are heterogeneous and plot away from the minimum, although their molar ratios ASI (=mol Al2O3/CaO+Na2O+K2O) and Al/Na are constant throughout the entire charge at any experimental time. Glass compositions within individual 800°C experiments form linear trends in (wt%) normative quartz–albite–orthoclase space. The linear trends are oriented perpendicular to the 200 MPa H2O haplogranite cotectic line, reflecting nearly constant albite/orthoclase ratio versus variable quartz/feldspar ratio, and have endpoints between the 800°C isotherms on the quartz and feldspar liquidus surfaces. With increasing experimental duration the trends migrate from the potassic side of the minimum toward the bulk rock composition located on the sodic side, due to more rapid (and complete) dissolution of K-feldspar relative to plagioclase. The results indicate that partial melting at or slightly above the solidus (690–740°C) is interface reaction-controlled, and produces disequilibrium melts of near-minimum composition that persist metastably for up to at least 3 months. Relict feldspars show no change in composition or texture, and equilibration between melt and feldspars might take from a few to tens of millions of years. Partial melting at temperatures well above the solidus (800°C) produces heterogeneous, disequilibrium liquids whose compositions are determined by the diffusive transport properties of the melt and local equilibrium with neighboring mineral phases. Feldspars recrystallize and change composition rapidly. Partial melting and equilibration between liquids and feldspars might take from a few to tens of years (H2O-saturated conditions) at these temperatures well above the solidus. 相似文献

The bulk composition and mineralogy of hydrothermally altered tholeiite, along with the composition and speciation of fluid, have been determined for a well-defined alteration zone at 240°C and 110 bars at Svartsengi, Iceland. Mass balances between the geothermal fluid and altered tholeiite, relative to a seawater/fresh water mixture and unaltered tholeiite, indicate the overall reaction per 1000 cm3 is: 1325 gm plagioclase + 1228 gm pyroxene + 215 gm oxide-minerals break down to form 685 gm chlorite + 636 gm albite + 441 gm quartz + 249 gm epidote + 266 gm calcite + 201 gm oxide-minerals + 15 gm pyrite, requiring an influx of 123 gm CO2, 10 gm H2S and 4 gm Na2O and a release of 57 gm SiO2, 35 gm FeO, 21 gm CaO, 8 gm MgO and 4 gm K2O.Principal reactions, deduced from textural evidence, include Na-Ca exchange in plagioclase, precipitation of quartz, calcite and anhydrite, and formation of chlorite and epidote by reactions between groundmass minerals and fluid.Thermodynamic analyses of authigenic minerals and downhole fluid indicate that the fluid maintains a state close to equilibrium with the secondary mineral phases chlorite, epidote, albite, quartz, calcite, prehnite, anhydrite, pyrite and magnetite, whereas remnant primary labradorite and augite are out of equilibrium with the fluid.Water/rock ratios for the system are determined under a variety of assumptions. However, the open nature of the system makes comparisons with experimental and theoretical closed system studies ambiguous. 相似文献

Abstract In the Twin Lakes area, central Sierra Nevada, California, most contact metamorphosed marbles contain calcite + dolomite + forsterite ± diopside ± phlogopite ± tremolite, and most calc-silicate hornfelses contain calcite + diopside + wollastonite + quartz ± anorthite ± K-feldspar ± grossular ± titanite. Mineral-fluid equilibria involving calcite + dolomite + tremolite + diopside + forsterite in two marble samples and wollastonite + anorthite + quartz + grossular in three hornfels samples record P± 3 kbar and T± 630° C. Various isobaric univariant assemblages record CO2-H2O fluid compositions of χCO2= 0.61–0.74 in the marbles and χCO2= 0.11 in the hornfelses. Assuming a siliceous dolomitic limestone protolith consisting of dolomite + quartz ° Calcite ± K-feldspar ± muscovite ± rutile, all plausible prograde reaction pathways were deduced for marble and hornfels on isobaric T-XCO2 diagrams in the model system K2O-CaO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2-H2O-CO2. Progress of the prograde reactions was estimated from measured modes and mass-balance calculations. Time-integrated fluxes of reactive fluid which infiltrated samples were computed for a temperature gradient of 150 °C/km along the fluid flow path, calculated fluid compositions, and estimated reaction progress using the mass-continuity equation. Marbles and hornfelses record values in the range 0.1–3.6 × 104 cm3/cm2 and 4.8–12.9 × 104 cm3/cm2, respectively. For an estimated duration of metamorphism of 105 years, average in situ metamorphic rock permeabilities, calculated from Darcy's Law, are 0.1–8 × 10?6 D in the marbles and 10–27 × 10?6 D in the hornfelses. Reactive metamorphic fluids flowed up-temperature, and were preferentially channellized in hornfelses relative to the marbles. These results appear to give a general characterization of hydrothermal activity during contact metamorphism of small pendants and screens (dimensions ± 1 km or less) associated with emplacement of the Sierra Nevada batholith. 相似文献

Local fluid migration through a serpentine melange caused successive carbonation of a metabasite block (about 80 meter in diameter) during the uplift stage of the glaucophanitic metamorphic rocks, the Nishisonogi metamorphics, southwest Japan. The block shows a zonal sequence as follows. Zone 1: original greenschist (Am+Ep+ Chl+Ab+Sph+Qtz). Zone 2: epidote disappears by the reaction Ep+Am+CO2+H2O=Chl+Cc+Qtz. Zone 3: balc appears by the reaction Am+CO2+H2O=Ta+Cc+ Qtz. Zone 4:sphene breakdowns by the reaction Sph+ CO2=Rt+Cc+Qtz. Zone 5: amphibole disappears by the two simultaneous reactions, Am+CO2=Do+Ta+Qtz and Ta+Cc+CO2=Do+Qtz+H2O. Zone 7: albite is replaced by chlorite, calcite, dolomite and quartz, and the assemblage of Do+Cc+Chl+Rt+Qtz is stable. Analyses of phase relations indicate an introduction of CO2-rich fluid into the greenschist body during regional metamorphism. The CO2-rich fluid may have formed by devolatilization reactions between serpentinite and graphite-bearing metasediments. The fluid migrated within the melange through a channelized pathway and into the greenschist body from a deeper part of the melange. 相似文献

Abstract Microprobe analyses of feldspars in granite mylonites containing flame perthite give compositions that invariably plot as three distinct clusters on a ternary feldspar diagram: orthoclase (Or92–97), albite and oligoclase-andesine. The albite occurs as grains in the matrix, as flame-shaped lamellae in orthoclase, and in patches within plagioclase grains. We present a metamorphic model for albite flame growth in the K-feldspar in these rocks that is related to reactions in plagioclase, rather than alkali feldspar exsolution. Flame growth is attributed to replacement and results from a combination of two retrograde reactions and one exchange reaction under greenschist facies conditions. Reaction 1 is a continuous or discontinuous (across the peristerite solvus) reaction in plagioclase, in which the An component forms epidote or zoisite. Most of the albite component liberated by Reaction 1 stays to form albite in the host plagioclase, but some Na migrates to form the flames within the K-feldspar. Reaction 2 is the exchange of K for Na in K-feldspar. Reaction 3 is the retrograde formation of muscovite (as ‘sericite’) and has all of the chemical components of a hydration reaction of K-feldspar. The Si and Al made available in the plagioclase from Reaction 1 are combined with the K liberated from the K-feldspar, to produce muscovite in Reaction 3. The muscovite forms in the plagioclase, rather than the K-feldspar, as a result of the greater mobility of K relative to Al. The composition of the albite flames is controlled by both the peristerite and the alkali feldspar miscibility gaps and depends on the position of these solvi at the pressure and temperature that existed during the reaction. Using an initial plagioclase composition of An20, the total reaction can be summarized as: 20 oligoclase + 1 K-feldspar + 2 H2O = 2 zoisite + muscovite + 2 quartz + 15 albiteplagioclase+ 1 albiteflame. This model does not require that any additional feldspar framework be accreted at replacement sites: Na and K are the only components that must migrate a significant distance (e.g. from one grain to the next), allowing Al to remain within the altering plagioclase grain. The resulting saussuritization is isovolumetric. The temperature and extent of replacement depends on when, and how much, water infiltrates the rock. The fugacity of the water, and therefore the pressure of the fluid, may have been significantly lower than lithostatic during flame growth. 相似文献

This paper presents preliminary results from study of a metasedimentary terrane near the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. Grade of metamorphism ranges from garnet to staurolite-kyanite zone. The stratigraphic section is dominated by metasandstone but contains thick pelitic horizons over the central portion (Anakeesta Formation) of the studied interval. Metasandstone beds contain numerous isolated calcite concretions; these react to form leucocratic calc-silicate rock at variable grade of metamorphism. Metasandstones themselves are unreactive. Study of calc-silicate reaction permits the following statements regarding fluid flow and alkali transport within the studied terrane.Within unreacted concretions, the typical mineral assemblage is quartz-oligoclase-muscovite-biotite-calcite. Reaction between micas and calcite proceeded through several stages, forming as prograde minerals andesine/bytownite, clinozoisite, zoisite, garnet, hornblende, and chlorite. Reaction occurred in the presence of a fluid phase containing a H2O/CO2 ratio of 9 and resulted in massive expulsion of Na2O, K2O and CO2. Since postulated reactions would have produced, on average, a fluid phase whose H2O/CO2 ratio is only one, flow of water-rich fluid through the concretions accompanied reaction. Rough estimate suggests a volumetric ratio of external fluid to rock of at least 1.1.The metamorphic grade at which concretions undergo reaction is controlled by stratigraphic position of the host metasandstone relative to metashale. Within the Anakeesta Formation and overlying strata, extensive reaction occurs near the pelitic staurolite and kyanite isograds. Within massive metasandstones of the underlying strata, reaction is delayed to the middle staurolite-kyanite zone, 5 km upgrade. Some reaction occurs within the upper garnet zone, but this is restricted to certain thin metasandstone beds interlayered with metashale. Study of dehydration reactions within metashale demonstrates that calc-silicate reaction was coupled to production of H2O-rich fluids within pelitic strata.Transport of H2O-rich fluids beyond outcrop scale was by advection. Diffusion was limited to outcrop distance. On most outcrops, all isolated concretions show the same degree of reaction. But at larger scale separate metasandstone packets bounded by metashale show differing degrees of reaction. Also, all rocks underwent some degree of penetrative deformation during time of reaction. The suggestion is made that advective flow was in fact channelized into fractures within metasandstone, and that diffusion between fractures promoted reaction within outcrop-size volumes of rock. Overall direction of fluid transport was in part upsection and in part channelized within metasandstone strata. Downsection flow was limited.For the most part alkalis liberated by calc-silicate reaction appear to have left the terrane. Metasandstones do not appear to constitute a sink for alkalis, and no sink of any sort was found for sodium. Potassium metasomatism of pelitic rock did occur and is marked by conversion of chlorite to biotite. But such K deposition is limited to sections within which metashale and calc-silicate rock are within outcrop distance. No sink is evident for most liberated potassium. It is within conjecture that the liberated elements caused alkali metasomatism elsewhere within the metamorphic belt, but such an event has yet to be demonstrated. 相似文献

The Neoproterozoic granite of Gabal Abu Diab, central Eastern Desert of Egypt, comprises mainly garnet-bearing granite and alkali feldspar granite intruded into calc-alkaline granodiorite–tonalite and metagabbro–diorite complexes. The garnet-bearing granite is composed mainly of plagioclase, K-feldspar, quartz, garnet and primary muscovite ± biotite. The presence of garnet and primary muscovite of Abu-Diab granite suggests its highly fractionated character. Geochemically, the garnet-bearing granite is highly fractionated as indicated from the high contents of SiO2 (74.85–77.5%), alkalis (8.27 to 9.2%, Na2O+K2O) and the trace elements association: Ga, Zn, Zr, Nb and Y. This granite is depleted in CaO, MgO, P2O5, Sr and Ba. The alumina saturation (Shand Index, molar ratio A/CNK) of 1.0 to 1.1 indicates the weak peraluminous nature of this garnet-bearing granite. The geochemical characteristics of the Abu Diab garnet-bearing granite are consistent with either the average I-type or A-type granite and also suggest post-orogenic or anorogenic setting. A fluid inclusions study reveals the presence of three fluid generations trapped into the studied granite. The earlier is a complex CO2–H2O fluid trapped in primary fluid inclusions with CO2 contents >?60 vol.%. These inclusions were probably trapped at minimum temperature >?400°C and minimum pressure >?2 kb. The second is immiscible water–CO2 fluid trapped in secondary and/or pseudo-secondary inclusions. The trapping conditions were estimated at temperature between 400°C and 170°C and pressure between 900 and 2000 bar. The latest fluid is low-salinity aqueous fluid trapped in secondary two-phase and mono-phase inclusions. The trapping conditions were estimated at temperature between 90°C and 160°C and pressure <?900 bar. The origin of the early fluid generation is magmatic fluid while the second and third fluids are of hydrothermal and meteoric origin, respectively. 相似文献

The major Ghanaian lode gold deposits are preferentially aligned along the western and eastern contacts of the Kumasi Basin with the Ashanti and Sefwi Belts, respectively. The investigated area of the Abawso small-scale concession, covering the workings of the old Ettadom mine, is situated 3 km west of the lithological contact of the Birimian metavolcanic rocks of the Akropong Belt in the east with the Birimian metasedimentary rocks of the Kumasi Basin in the west. The rocks of the Abawso concession represent a steeply NW-dipping limb of a SE-verging anticline with an axis plunging to the SW. Quartz veining occurs predominantly in the form of en échelon dilatational veins along NNE–SSW-striking shear zones of a few metres width and shows evidence of brittle and ductile deformation. Also stockwork-style quartz veining occurs in the vicinity of the main shaft of the old Ettadom mine. Hydrothermal alteration includes sericitisation, sulphidation and locally carbonatisation. The auriferous quartz veins mainly follow the trend of brittle to ductile deformed quartz veins; however, some occur in stockwork. Fluid inclusion studies reveal a large number of H2O inclusions along intragranular trails in auriferous quartz vein samples, as well as an overall dominance of H2O and H2O-CO2 inclusions over CO2 inclusions. Textural observations and physico-chemical fluid inclusion properties indicate post-entrapment modifications for all quartz vein samples due to grain boundary migration recrystallisation. This process is interpreted to be responsible for the generation of the CO2 inclusions from a H2O-CO2 parent fluid. In comparison with mineralisation at the Ashanti and Prestea deposits, which are characterised by CO2±N2 inclusions, the observed inclusion assemblage may be due to a shallower crustal level of mineralisation, or different degrees and styles of recrystallisation, or a less pronounced development of laminated quartz veins due to comparably restricted pressure fluctuations. Furthermore, the microthermometric observations allow the reconstruction of a possible retrograde P-T path, depicting near-isothermal decompression in the P-T range of the brittle/ductile transition.Editorial handling: E.

Previous phase equilibrium and oxygen isotopic researches on the high-pressure, low-temperature metamorphic rocks of the Franciscan and Sanbagawa blueschist type terranes have demonstrated the near ubiquity of a fluid at high (≈ total) pressure and its oxygen-rich nature during metamorphism. The coexistence of quartz with a CaCO3 polymorph instead of wollastonite, and of sphene rather than rutile + quartz + calcium carbonate in these rocks places narrow, rather low limits on the partial pressures of CO2, as computed in this note; equilibrium calculations indicate that the mole fraction of carbon dioxide in the fluid must have been less than about 0.04 in the Sanbagawa terrane and less than 0.01 in the Franciscan terrane. The rocks are not sulfated or strongly oxidized, hence the only other likely component which could comprise the balance of this phase is H2O. Evidently metamorphism in the Sanbagawa belt and particularly in the Franciscan terrane must have taken place in the presence of a highly aqueous fluid. 相似文献

The quartz in the Haigou gold deposit contains a great abundance of three-phase CO2-NaCl-H2O and two-phase CO2-rich inclusions, which are associated with two-phase NaCl-H2O ones. The ore-forming fluids, which were rich in CO2, are classified into two types with two different sources: the high-salinity CO2-rich NaCl-H2O fluid derived from magmatic hydrothermal solution, and the low-salinity NaCl-H2O fluid from ancient meteoric water. The optimum conditions for gold mineralization are 220-300℃ for the temperature, 4-20 MPa for the fluid static pressure, 1-3 km for the mineralization depth, 2-7 w (NaCl)/10-2 for the fluid salinity, and 0.644 g/cm3 for the total density. The fluid was in a critical or supercritical state at the initial stage of mineralization, and it boiled and was unmixed with CO2 and NaCl-H2O in the climax of mineralization, leading to the decomposition of Au-chlorine complexes and the bulk precipitation of Au.The type, association, homogenization temperature and composition (CO2/H2O val 相似文献
