Insights into the complexity of crustal differentiation: K2O‐poor leucosomes within metasedimentary migmatites from the Southern Marginal Zone of the Limpopo Belt,South Africa

Differentiation of the continental crust is the result of complex interactions between a large number of processes, which govern partial melting of the deep crust, magma formation and segregation, and magma ascent to significantly higher crustal levels. The anatectic metasedimentary rocks exposed in the Southern Marginal Zone of the Limpopo Belt represent an unusually well‐exposed natural laboratory where the portion of these processes that operate in the deep crust can be directly investigated in the field. The formation of these migmatites occurred via absent incongruent melting reactions involving biotite, which produced cm‐ to m‐scale, K₂O‐poor garnet‐bearing stromatic leucosomes, with high Ca/Na ratios relative to their source rocks. Field investigation combined with geochemical analyses, and phase equilibrium modelling designed to investigate some aspects of disequilibrium partial melting show that the outcrop features and compositions of the leucosomes suggest several steps in their evolution: (1) Melting of a portion of the source, with restricted plagioclase availability due to kinetic controls, to produce a magma (melt + entrained peritectic minerals in variable proportions relative to melt); (2) Segregation of the magma at near peak metamorphic conditions into melt accumulation sites (MAS), also known as future leucosome; (3a) Re‐equilibration of the magma with a portion of the bounding mafic residuum via chemical diffusion (H₂O, K₂O), which triggers the co‐precipitation of quartz and plagioclase in the MAS; (3b) Extraction of melt‐dominated magma to higher crustal levels, leaving peritectic minerals entrained from the site of the melting reaction, and the minerals precipitated in the MASs to form the leucosome in the source. The key mechanism controlling this behaviour is the kinetically induced restriction of the amount of plagioclase available to the melting reaction. This results in elevated melt H₂O and K₂O and chemical potential gradient for these components across the leucosome/mafic residuum contact. The combination of all of these processes accurately explains the composition of the K₂O‐poor leucosomes. These findings have important implications for our understanding of melt segregation in the lower crust and minimum melt residency time which, according to the chemical modelling, is <5 years. We demonstrate that in some migmatitic granulites, the leucosomes constitute a type of felsic refractory residuum, rather than evidence of failed magma extraction. This provides a new insight into the ways that source heterogeneity may control anatexis.     

大陆造山带深熔垮塌的岩石学、地球化学证据:以北大别深熔混合岩为例

北大别位于大别造山带的核部,分布着大量的造山带垮塌时期形成的混合岩,其于理解大别造山带的形成和演化有着重要的意义。北大别混合岩的原岩为TTG（D）岩石,因黑云母和角闪石的脱水熔融诱发深熔作用产生。顺层产出的为富斜长石浅色体,主要矿物组成为斜长石+石英+黑云母±钾长石±角闪石。伟晶岩脉或团块为富钾长石浅色体,主要矿物组成为钾长石+石英±斜长石±黑云母±角闪石。暗色体为变晶结构,主要矿物组成为角闪石+黑云母+斜长石+石英±单斜辉石;其中,暗色矿物角闪石和黑云母常常定向排列,具有明显的溶蚀结构;暗色体中浅色矿物颗粒较小,以斜长石和石英为主,指示部分熔融的残余产物。全岩地球化学特征表明,碱金属元素（Na、K等）、大离子亲石元素（Ba、K、La等）和LREE等优先进入酸性熔体,而相容元素和中-重稀土元素等残留在残余体中。浅色体与本区花岗岩相比,二者都有右倾的稀土配分模式,富集LREE,亏损HREE。但浅色体具有明显的Eu正异常,δEu值为2.48~6.55,而花岗岩则有弱的Eu负异常,并且浅色体中大颗粒斜长石相互构成框架结构,含量明显高于正常花岗岩熔体,表明浅色体更可能是熔体早期结晶的产物。     

华北地台北缘集宁地区古元古代片麻状石榴花岗岩的深熔成因及地质意义

本文对华北克拉通北缘集宁地区空间上密切共生的片麻状石榴花岗岩和孔兹岩系富铝片麻岩的岩相学、地球化学及年代学特征进行了对比研究。SHRIMP锆石U-Pb定年方面,在富铝片麻岩中获得了1910±10Ma和1839±13Ma变质锆石年龄,在片麻状石榴花岗岩中获得了1919±17Ma的变质重结晶锆石年龄。在石榴花岗岩的石榴石包裹体中识别出与富铝片麻岩相对应的进变质阶段(M1)和峰期阶段(M2)的矿物组合,由此确认富铝片麻岩的变质作用和导致石榴花岗岩形成的深熔作用是同一构造热事件的产物。通过对二者变质作用演化及特征变质矿物的对比,认为深熔作用主要发生在峰期后等温降压阶段(M3),石榴花岗岩中的石榴石为深熔作用过程中的残留矿物相或转熔矿物相,而石榴花岗岩则是混合有大量残留矿物相的熔体结晶的产物。对片麻状石榴花岗岩和富铝片麻岩的地球化学组成特征进行了对比分析,片麻状石榴花岗岩既有一定的继承性,又有十分明显的变异性。变异性表现为:1)石榴花岗岩主量和微量元素含量分布极不均匀,微量元素含量普遍低于源岩(Cs、Rb、Th、U、Nb、Ta、Zr、Hf等);2)大离子亲石元素Cs和生热元素U、Th亏损明显,Sr相对富集;3)高场强元素Nb、Ta、P、Ti的明显亏损;4)铕异常变化大,存在铕富集型、铕平坦型和铕亏损型共存的稀土配分曲线的岩石,这是深熔成因石榴花岗岩最突出的表现,也可能是原地-半原地深熔花岗岩的主要地球化学标志。综合区域上的地质资料,认为深熔作用与碰撞后伸展构造背景下基性岩浆底侵事件有关。     

河北阜平杂岩长英质片麻岩中一些浅色体的地球化学性质及其地质意义

阜平杂岩中的浅色体主要分为2种类型,早期浅色体基本沿片麻理分布,较富钾长石（微斜长石）、石英,贫斜长石,形成于低水深熔或压溶条件下,水含量较低,局部脱水但尚未达到整体脱水的程度;晚期浅色体切割现有的片麻理,较富斜长石、石英,贫钾长石,形成于有水熔融条件下,平阳奥长花岗岩的出现即与晚期浅色体相对应。南营片麻岩、南营浅色花岗片麻岩的地球化学性质与其他片麻岩具有明显的不一致性。浅色体的稀土元素配分型式较复杂,根据对元素相对富集或亏损的分析得知,大多数浅色体的形成受围岩成分的控制,从早期浅色体向晚期浅色体发展,稀土元素含量向LREE相对亏损、HREE相对富集的方向转化,某些微量元素有明显的继承性。与地球化学特征相比,矿物组合的确定对浅色体阶段的归属判定更为重要。阜平杂岩变质演化不是简单的进变质脱水反应,其水分含量的变化十分复杂,对其深入研究有助于更好地了解该区地质和构造的演化过程。

Partial melting in the Inzie Head gneisses: the role of water and a petrogenetic grid in KFMASH applicable to anatectic pelitic migmatites

A sequence of prograde isograds is recognized within the Dalradian Inzie Head gneisses where pelitic compositions have undergone variable degrees of partial melting via incongruent melting reactions consuming biotite. Three leucosome types are identified. At the lowest grades, granitic leucosomes containing porphyroblasts of cordierite (CRD‐melt) are abundant. At intermediate grades, CRD‐melt mingles with garnetiferous leucosomes (GT‐melt). At the highest grades, CRD‐melt coexists with orthopyroxene‐bearing leucosomes (OPX‐melt), while garnet is conspicuously absent. The prograde metamorphic field gradient is constrained to pressures of 2–3 kbar below the CRD‐melt isograd, and no greater than 4.5 kbar at the highest grade around Inzie Head. A petrogenetic grid, calculated using thermocalc , is presented for the K₂O–FeO–MgO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂–H₂O (KFMASH) system for the phases orthopyroxene, garnet, cordierite, biotite, sillimanite, H₂O and melt with quartz and K‐feldspar in excess. For the implied field gradient, the reaction sequence predicted by the grid is consistent with the successive prograde development of each leucosome type. Compatibility diagrams suggest that, as anatexis proceeded, bulk compositions may have been displaced towards higher MgO content by the removal of (relatively) ferroan granitic leucosome. An isobaric (P = 4 kbar) T–a_H2O diagram shows that premigmatization fluids must have been water‐rich (a_H2O > 0.85) and suggests that, following the formation of small volumes of CRD‐melt, the system became fluid‐absent and melting reactions buffered a_H2O to lower values as temperatures rose. GT‐ and OPX‐melt formed by fluid‐absent melting reactions, but a maximum of 7–11% CRD‐melt fraction can be generated under fluid‐absent conditions, much less than the large volumes observed in the field. There is strong evidence that the CRD‐melt leucosomes could not have been derived by buoyantly aided upwards migration from levels beneath the migmatites. Their formation therefore required a significant influx of H₂O‐rich fluid, but in a quantity insufficient to have exhausted the buffering capacity of the solid assemblage plus melt. Fluid : rock ratios cannot have exceeded 1 : 30. The fluid was channelled through a regionally extensive shear zone network following melt‐induced failure. Such an influx of fluid at such depths has obvious consequences for localized crustal magma production and possibly for cordierite‐bearing granitoids in general.     

Zircon from the polymigmatites of the northwestern Ladoga region: Morphology and geochemistry

This paper reports the results of a geochemical investigation of zircon from a migmatized aluminous gneiss (gn), melanosome (M), and sequential leucosome generations (Lc₂, Lc₃, Lc₄, and Lc₅) from an outcrop in the northwestern Ladoga region. The contents of REE, Y, Ti, Hf, Th, U, and P were determined using a Cameca IMS-4f ion microprobe in 12 zircon grains from the aforementioned rocks, in two-three spots in each grain. All of the specimens show rather uniform REE distribution patterns. More significant variations were observed in the light and medium REE (at smaller variations in the heavy REE), as well as in Ti, Y, Th, and U contents between zircons from the host rocks and from the leucosomes. It was supposed that REE-rich zircons from the gneiss and melanosome (without oscillatory zoning) are relics, whereas rhythmically zoned zircons with lower REE contents crystallized in the gneiss in the presence of dispersed anatectic melt. The contents of most REE and Y increase from core to rim in zircons from the gneiss, melanosome, Lc₂, Lc₄, and Lc₅, which is opposite to the compositional trend of zircons from Lc₃. It was shown that the decrease of HREE and Y content in zircon in the sequence Lc₅ → gn → Lc₂, Lc₃, Lc₄ is related to a decrease in the abundance of these elements in the rocks. The leucosomes do not correspond to a differentiation series of a single melt (there is no variation trends of Rb/Sr, K/Rb, and Rb/Ba in the rock series). The lower Lu/Hf and Sm/Nd values in the leucosomes relative to the host rocks allowed us to suppose that their protolith was gneisses (for Lc₂) and migmatites (for Lc₄ and Lc₃). The similarity of the early migmatites and gneisses to Lc₃ with respect to major and some trace elements and almost identical Lu/Hf and Sm/Nd values support the possibility of the formation of this leucosome generation during the beginning of the diatexis of migmatites, which was promoted by a temperature increase. This resulted in a specific trend in the content of some elements during zircon growth in Lc₃, which is different from the trend of zircons from other leucosomes.     

The genesis of wadi Magrish migmatites (N-E Sinai)

The migmatite complex of the Magrish area is part of a large crystalline massif south of Elat. The mineralogical composition of the migmatites is very uniform. The components of the melanosome are biotite, quartz and plagioclase, with small amounts of garnet and very rarely sillimanite and those of the leucosome — quartz and plagioclase. On the basis of chemical composition of the migmatites and possible premigmatitic parent rocks, absence of orthoclase in the leucosome, similar composition of plagioclase in the leucosome and in neighbouring melanosome, and Qz:Plag values which do not plot around a cotectic line, it is concluded that migmatisation occurred in a nearly closed system, without the presence of a melt phase. Thus, injection of granitic material, metasomatism or partial anatexis as possible main formation mechanisms are rejected and metamorphic differentiation is favoured.     

Zircon U–Pb ages and Hf isotope compositions of the Mayuan migmatite complex,NW Fujian Province,Southeast China: Constraints on the timing and nature of a regional tectonothermal event associated with the Caledonian orogeny

U–Pb ages, trace elements, and Hf isotope compositions of zircons from the Mayuan migmatite complex in NW Fujian province have been determined to provide constraints on the source and genesis of anatexis and tectonothermal evolution related to the Caledonian orogeny in South China. The migmatites investigated consist of various amounts of mesosome, leucosome, and melansome. Zircons extracted from mesosome, leucosome, and granite samples are characterized by oscillatory overgrowths enclosing inherited cores or occur as newly grown grains. The ages of the inherited zircons from the leucosome and granite samples are consistent with those of adjacent basement paragneiss in the study area, suggesting that both leucosome and granite were generated by partial melting of the latter. A comparison of Hf isotopes between the newly-formed zircons and inherited cores indicates that the former resulted from the breakdown of preexisting inherited zircons and/or less Hf-rich minerals other than zircons at the source. One mesosome sample contains typical metamorphic zircons that yielded a weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 453 ± 3 Ma. They show enrichments in heavy REEs (Lu_N/La_N up to 22,709), indicating their growth prior to garnet crystallization. The other mesosome sample, in contrast, contains both newly-formed metamorphic rims and grains that gave a weighted mean ²⁰⁶Pb/²³⁸U age of 442 ± 8 Ma. They are characterized by relatively low Th/U ratios, depletions in heavy REEs (Lu_N/La_N = 117–396), and low ¹⁷⁶Lu/¹⁷⁷Hf ratios, suggesting their growth synchronous with garnet crystallization. The U–Pb ages of the mesosome samples are interpreted as recording the time of early (ca. 453 Ma) to peak (442 Ma) stages of a regional metamorphic event. Two leucosome and two granite samples yield consistent U–Pb ages of 438 ± 5 Ma to 442 ± 4 Ma, which provide constraints on the timing of subsequent anatexis and magmatism. The geochronological data reported here reveal a consecutive sequence of regional metamorphism, anatexis, and magmatism in NW Fujian province, lasting for at least 15 Myr, which was driven by the Caledonian orogeny that have affected a major part of the SCB.     

Trace element behaviour during migmatization. Evidence for a complex melt-residuum-fluid interaction in the St. Malo migmatitic dome (France)

The St. Malo migmatitic dome represents an interesting example wherein migmatites arise from the anatexis of the surrounding gneisses. Petrographical and chemical data suggest that leucosome compositions are compatible with partial melting of the quartzo-feldsphathic fraction of the parent gneiss. The contribution of the incongruent melting of biotite to the melt does not exceed 5% of the parent rock.Petrogenetic modelling based on experimental data and assuming non modal batch melting show that the K, Rb, Ca, Sr, U and Th chemical patterns of these migmatites result in fact from the interaction of several mechanisms, namely: equilibrium partial melting, mixing between melts and refractory minerals (biotite and accessories), melt removal and late hydrothermal alteration. Zr, Y and Th which are mostly hosted in accessory minerals are significantly withheld from the melts and remain stored in melanosomes (metatexites) except when leucosomes are affected by mixing (diatexites). U is frequently enriched in the leucosomes as well as in some melanosomes suggesting external supply.     

高压麻粒岩相变质作用及深熔作用:以柴北缘都兰地区为例

在一些俯冲/碰撞造山带中,高压麻粒岩相变质作用通常伴随着广泛的深熔作用。本文以柴北缘超高压变质带都兰地区的基性高压麻粒岩和浅色体为研究对象,在详细的野外观察的基础上,结合岩相学和年代学等研究方法,探讨高压麻粒岩相变质作用与深熔作用的关系及形成机制。从野外关系来看,浅色体主要呈层状、似脉状、补丁状或网络状分布在暗色的基性高压麻粒岩(残留体,residuumormelanosome)中,或与基性高压麻粒岩在露头上互层产出,并显示出混合岩的特征。基性高压麻粒岩主要由石榴子石、单斜辉石、斜长石和石英等矿物组成,在不同样品中还可含有少量蓝晶石、角闪石、金红石、黝帘石/斜黝帘石、黑云母、方柱石、绿泥石;浅色体主要由斜长石、钾长石和石英等矿物组成,一些样品中也含有少量的石榴子石和蓝晶石,与典型的长英质高压麻粒岩的矿物组合特征较为相似。锆石成因年代学结果显示浅色体中既发育深熔锆石,也有变质锆石生长,但两种锆石给出的年龄结果基本一致,其加权平均年龄为434±2Ma(MSWD=1.1),与前人获得的高压麻粒岩相变质作用和深熔作用时代基本一致。因此,综合野外关系、岩相学、地球化学特征及年代学结果,我们推测高压麻粒岩相变质作用及深熔作用可能形成于同一动力学过程,即在俯冲带的上盘环境,(变)基性岩石中的含水矿物(如角闪石、帘石或云母类矿物等)脱水熔融形成高Sr/Y熔体,而基性高压麻粒岩为残留体。     

Muscovite dehydration melting in Si-rich metapelites: microstructural evidence from trondhjemitic migmatites,Roded, Southern Israel

Making a distinction between partial melting and subsolidus segregation in amphibolite facies migmatites is difficult. The only significant melting reactions at lowpressures, either vapour saturated or muscovite dehydration melting, do not produce melanocratic peritectic phases. If protoliths are Si-rich and K-poor, then peritectic sillimanite and K-feldspar will form in scarce amounts, and may be lost by retrograde rehydration. The Roded migmatites of southern Israel (northernmost Arabian Nubian Shield) formed at P = 4.5 ± 1 kbar and T ≤ 700 °C and include Si-rich, K-poor paragneissic paleosome and trondhjemitic leucosomes. The lack of K-feldspar in leucosomes was taken as evidence for the non-anatectic origin of the Roded migmatites (Gutkin and Eyal, Isr J Earth Sci 47:117, 1998). It is shown here that although the Roded migmatites experienced significant post-peak deformation and recrystallization, microstructural evidence for partial melting is retained. Based on these microstructures, coupled with pseudosection modelling, indicators of anatexis in retrograded migmatites are established. Phase diagram modelling of neosomes shows the onset of muscovite dehydration melting at 4.5 kbar and 660 °C, forming peritectic sillimanite and K-feldspar. Adjacent non-melted paleosomes lack muscovite and would thus not melt by this reaction. Vapour saturation was not attained, as it would have formed cordierite that does not exist. Furthermore, vapour saturation would not allow peritectic K-feldspar to form, however K-feldspar is ubiquitous in melanosomes. Direct petrographic evidence for anatexis is rare and includes euhedral plagioclase phenocrysts in leucosomes and quartz-filled embayments in corroded plagioclase at leucosome-melanosome interfaces. In deformed and recrystallized rocks muscovite dehydration melting is inferred by: (1) lenticular K-feldspar enclosed by biotite in melanosomes, (2) abundant myrmekite in leucosomes, (3) muscovite–quartz symplectites after sillimanite in melanosomes and associated with myrmekite in leucosomes. While peritectic K-feldspar formed in melanosomes by muscovite dehydration melting reaction, K-feldspar crystallizing from granitic melt in adjacent leucosome was myrmekitized. Excess potassium was used in rehydration of sillimanite to muscovite.     

Migmatites record multiple episodes of crustal anatexis and geochemical differentiation in the Sulu ultrahigh‐pressure metamorphic zone,eastern China

Partial melting of ultrahigh‐pressure (UHP) metamorphic rocks is common during collisional orogenesis and post‐collisional reworking, indicating that determining the timing and processes involved in this partial melting can provide insights into the tectonic evolution of collisional orogens. This study presents the results of a combined whole‐rock geochemical and zirconological study of migmatites from the Sulu orogen in eastern China. These data provide evidence of multiple episodes of crustal anatexis and geochemical differentiation within the UHP metamorphic rocks. The leucosomes contain higher concentrations of Ba and K and lower concentrations of the rare earth elements (REE), Th and Y, than associated melanosomes and granitic gneisses. The leucosomes also have homogenous Sr–Nd–O isotopic compositions that are similar to proximal (i.e. within the same outcrop) melanosomes, suggesting that the anatectic melts were generated by the partial melting of source rocks that are located within individual outcrops. The migmatites contain zircons with six different types of domains that can be categorized using differences in structures, trace element compositions, and U–Pb ages. Group I domains are relict magmatic zircons that yield middle Neoproterozoic U–Pb ages and contain high REE concentrations. Group II domains represent newly grown metamorphic zircons that formed at 230 ± 1 Ma during the collisional orogenesis. Groups III, IV, V, and VI zircons are newly grown anatectic zircons that formed at 222 ± 2 Ma, 215 ± 1 Ma, 177 ± 2 Ma, and 152 ± 2 Ma, respectively. The metamorphic zircons have higher Th/U and lower (Yb/Gd)_N values, flat heavy REE (HREE) patterns with no significantly negative Eu anomalies relative to the anatectic zircons, which are characterized by low Th/U ratios, steep HREE patterns, and negative Eu anomalies. The first two episodes of crustal anatexis occurred during the Late Triassic at c. 222 Ma and c. 215 Ma as a result of phengite breakdown. The other two episodes of anatexis occurred during the Jurassic period at c. 177 Ma and c. 152 Ma and were associated with extensional collapse of the collision‐thickened orogen. The majority of Triassic anatectic zircons and all of the Jurassic zircons are located within the leucosomes, whereas the melanosomes are dominated by Triassic metamorphic zircons, suggesting that the leucosomes within the migmatites record more episodes of crustal anatexis. Both metamorphic and anatectic zircons have elevated ε_Hf(t) values compared with relict magmatic zircon cores, suggesting that these zircons contain non‐zircon Hf derived from material with more radiogenic Hf isotope compositions. Therefore, the Sulu and Dabie orogens experienced different episodes of reworking during the exhumation and post‐collisional stages.     

Contrasting behaviour of rare earth and major elements during partial melting in granulite facies migmatites, Wuluma Hills, Arunta Block, central Australia

Low‐P granulite facies metapelitic migmatites in the Wuluma Hills, Strangways Metamorphic Complex, Arunta Block, preserve evidence of polyphase deformation and migmatite formation which is of the same age of the c. 1730 Ma Wuluma granite. Mineral equilibria modelling of garnet‐orthoproxene‐cordierite‐bearing assemblages using thermocalc is consistent with peak S3 conditions of 6.0–6.5 kbar and 850–900 °C. The growth of orthopyroxene and garnet was primarily controlled by biotite breakdown during partial melting reactions. Whereas orthopyroxene in the cordierite‐biotite mesosome shows enrichment of heavy‐REE (HREE) relative to medium‐REE (MREE), orthopyroxene in adjacent garnet‐bearing leucosome shows depletion of HREE relative to MREE. There is no appreciable difference in major element contents of minerals common to both the mesosome and leucosome. The REE variations can be satisfactorily explained by decoupling of major element and REE partitioning, in the context of appropriate phase‐equilibria modelling of a prograde path at ～6 kbar. Sparse garnet nucleii formed at ～760 °C, along with concentrated leucosome development and preferentially partitioned HREE. Further heating to ～800 °C at constant or subtly increasing pressure conditions additionally stabilized orthopyroxene and decreased the garnet mode. Orthopyroxene in the leucosome inherited an REE pattern consequent to the partial consumption of garnet, it being distinct from the REE pattern in mesosome orthoproxene that was mostly controlled by biotite breakdown. Such within‐sample variability in the enrichment of heavy REE indicates that caution needs to be exercised in the application of common elemental partitioning coefficients in spatially complex metamorphic rocks.

Geochemistry of major and trace elements and Pb–Sr isotopes of a weathering profile developed on the Lower Cambrian black shales in central Hunan,China

This paper reports a geochemical study on the major and trace elements and Pb–Sr isotopes of a weathering profile developed in the Lower Cambrian black shales in central Hunan (China). Six weathering horizons were identified and sampled vertically throughout the profile. The chemical composition of the profile consists of variable concentrations of the major elements Fe₂O₃, FeO, MnO, MgO, CaO, Na₂O, and P₂O₅ and of less variable concentrations of SiO₂, TiO₂, Al₂O₃, and K₂O. The chemical change caused by weathering is estimated by mass-balance calculations, and the results show that the element mobility is characterised by substantial loss of SiO₂, FeO, CaO, K₂O, Na₂O, LOI, Cr, V, Ba, Cs, Rb, Sr, U, and Th, and moderate loss of Al₂O₃, MgO, Fe₂O₃, Ni, Cu, Pb, Tl, Sn, Sc, Ge and REE (Y). The high field strength elements TiO₂, Sn, Sc, U, Ga, Ge, Zr, Hf, Nb, and Ta were immobile during weathering. The chemical changes and the Pb–Sr isotopic data suggest that four types of chemical reactions occurred: the oxidation of sulphide minerals (e.g., pyrite) and organic carbon (OS), the dissolution of less resistant clinochlore-Ia, calcite, and P-bearing minerals (DL), the dissolution of detrital albite and microcline (DA), and the transformation of clay (TC) minerals (e.g., muscovite and illite–smectite). These chemical reactions then led to two stages of geochemical processes, an early stage of chemical differentiation and a later stage of chemical homogenisation. The chemical differentiation dominated by the OS, DL, and DA reactions, led to the leaching of mobile elements (e.g., MgO, Na₂O, K₂O, P₂O₅, Sr, and REE) and the redistribution of some less mobile elements (e.g., SiO₂ and Al₂O₃). In contrast, the chemical homogenisation, which was caused by TC reactions, led to the leaching of both mobile and less mobile elements from the system and ultimately transformed the weathered black shales into soil. Soils derived from black shales in South China might result from the above two geochemical processes.     

Trace element distribution among rock-forming minerals from metamorphosed to partially molten basic igneous rocks in a contact aureole (Fuerteventura, Canaries)

Low pressure partial melting of basanitic and ankaramitic dykes gave rise to unusual, zebra-like migmatites, in the contact aureole of a layered pyroxenite–gabbro intrusion, in the root zone of an ocean island (Basal Complex, Fuerteventura, Canary Islands). These migmatites are characterised by a dense network of closely spaced, millimetre-wide leucocratic segregations. Their mineralogy consists of plagioclase (An_32–36), diopside, biotite, oxides (magnetite, ilmenite), +/− amphibole, dominated by plagioclase in the leucosome and diopside in the melanosome. The melanosome is almost completely recrystallised, with the preservation of large, relict igneous diopside phenocrysts in dyke centres. Comparison of whole-rock and mineral major- and trace-element data allowed us to assess the redistribution of elements between different mineral phases and generations during contact metamorphism and partial melting.

Dykes within and outside the thermal aureole behaved like closed chemical systems. Nevertheless, Zr, Hf, Y and REEs were internally redistributed, as deduced by comparing the trace element contents of the various diopside generations. Neocrystallised diopside – in the melanosome, leucosome and as epitaxial phenocryst rims – from the migmatite zone, are all enriched in Zr, Hf, Y and REEs compared to relict phenocrysts. This has been assigned to the liberation of trace elements on the breakdown of enriched primary minerals, kaersutite and sphene, on entering the thermal aureole. Major and trace element compositions of minerals in migmatite melanosomes and leucosomes are almost identical, pointing to a syn- or post-solidus reequilibration on the cooling of the migmatite terrain i.e. mineral–melt equilibria were reset to mineral–mineral equilibria.     

Cryptic sediment-hosted critical element mineralization from eastern Yunnan Province,southwestern China: Mineralogy,geochemistry, relationship to Emeishan alkaline magmatism and possible origin

A previous study briefly described the occurrence of a new type of Nb(Ta)-Zr(Hf)-REY-Ga (REY: rare earth elements and yttrium) polymetallic mineralization in eastern Yunnan, southwest China. In this paper, the mineralogical and geochemical features have been further advanced through a study of two regionally extensive and relatively flat-lying mineralized layers from No. XW drill core. The layers are clay-altered volcanic ash and tuffaceous clay, and are dominated by clay minerals (mixed layer illite/smectite, kaolinite, berthierine, and chamosite); with lesser amounts of quartz and variable amounts of anatase, siderite and calcite; along with trace pyrite, barite, zircon, ilmenite, galena, chalcopyrite, and REE-bearing minerals. The mineralized samples have higher Al₂O₃/TiO₂ values (13.7–41.4) and abundant rare metal elements (Nb, Ta, Zr, Hf, REE, Ga, Th, and U) whereas less mineralized samples are rich in V, Cr, Co, and Ni and have lower Al₂O₃/TiO₂ values (2.32–7.67). The mineralized samples also have strong negative δEu in chondrite-normalized REE patterns. Two processes are most likely responsible for the geochemical and mineralogical anomalies of the mineralized samples: airborne volcanic ash and multi-stage injection of low-temperature hydrothermal fluids. Based on paragenetic analysis, this polymetallic mineralization is derived from the interaction between alkaline volcanic ashes and subsequent percolation of low-temperature fluids. The intense and extensive alkaline volcanism of the early Late Permian inferred from this study possibly originated from the coeval Emeishan large igneous province (ELIP). This unique Nb(Ta)-Zr(Hf)-REE-Ga mineralization style has significant economic and geological potential for the study of mineralization of the lowest Xuanwei Formation.     

Geological context of crustal anatexis and granitic magmatism in the northeastern Glenelg River Complex,western Victoria

The Cambro‐Ordovician Glenelg River Complex in the Harrow district, western Victoria, consists of extensive granitic rocks associated with a migmatitic metasedimentary envelope. Metasedimentary rocks comprise amphibolite facies massive‐laminated quartzo‐feldspathic schists and layered gneisses with minor sillimanite‐bearing horizons. Intercalated are stromatic and nebulitic migmatites of granitic and tonalitic character; textural evidence suggests that both varieties developed by in situ partial melting. Ranging from adamellite to leucotonalite, granitic rocks contain abundant magmatic muscovite, commonly with garnet and sillimanite, and exhibit generally unrecrystallised igneous textures. Heterogeneous structurally concordant plutons transitional to migmatites and more uniform intrusive phases are delineated with both types hosting diverse metasedimentary enclaves, micaceous selvages and schlieren; a gneissic foliation of variable intensity is defined by the latter. These petrographic attributes are consistent with derivation of plutons by anatexis of a peraluminous metasedimentary protolith. The schlieric foliation is not tectonically imposed, but rather directly inherited from the migmatitic precursor, compositional variations within which are preserved by the layered Schofield Adamellite. The most mafic granitic body (Tuloona Granodiorite) also has igneous microgranular enclaves indicating a more complex petrogenesis. Metasedimentary rocks experienced five episodes of folding, the latest involving macroscopic open warps. This is analogous to the structural history elucidated elsewhere in the Glenelg River Complex, by inference a coherent tectonic entity whose present metamorphic and stratigraphic configuration might be governed by F₅ folding. Structures within migmatites intimate that partial melting proceeded throughout the deformational history and peaked syn‐D₄ to pre‐D₅, whilst temperatures had waned to sub‐biotite grade in the southwestern Glenelg River Complex. Granitic rocks were generated during this anatectic culmination and were therefore emplaced late in the orogenic history relative to other syntectonic phases of the Glenelg River Complex.
