藏北羌塘中部高压变质带中石榴子石白云母片岩的岩石学和变质特征

羌塘中部的高压变质带位于龙木错-双湖-澜沧江板块缝合带之上,由榴辉岩、蓝片岩和石榴子石白云母片岩组成,其形成过程对探讨板块缝合带的构造演化具有重要意义。以其中的石榴子石白云母片岩为研究对象,通过岩相学研究并结合电子探针成分分析,认为石榴子石白云母片岩中的石榴子石具有多期次变质结晶的特征,保留了岩石多期次变质的信息。结合岩石组构特征,最终确定石榴子石白云母片岩至少经历了3期次的变质作用。第一、二期均为绿片岩相,当时岩石不具定向构造且未达到高压;第三期为低温高压蓝片岩相变质作用,与区域上蓝片岩的形成及榴辉岩的蓝片岩相退变质作用大体同时,该期变质变形作用形成了岩石的片理,最终成为石榴子石白云母片岩,变质作用时代为218Ma左右。     

抚顺煤田煤变质特征

抚顺煤田的煤变质表现为一种具有浅成、高温、作用时间较短的岩浆热变质作用的特征。在西露天矿坑内和龙凤矿井下见有十分发育的接触热变质带,接触热变质煤未形成良好的天然焦,而是形成“炭渣状煤”或“烧变煤”。煤变质带明显,在平面上和垂向上都有所反映。煤变质带的分布与后期侵入的辉绿岩的分布关系密切。     

大陆碰撞过程中的巴罗式变质作用及原地深熔作用:以南阿尔金为例

南阿尔金吐拉地区所出露的变质泥质岩和变质基性岩普遍经历了中压麻粒岩相变质作用,其中变泥质岩以出现石榴子石+夕线石+长石+黑云母+石英为特征,而基性麻粒岩则以石榴子石+单斜辉石+紫苏辉石+斜长石+石英为特征,具有典型中压相系的麻粒岩相变质作用矿物组合,即显示"巴罗式"变质作用特征。野外宏观特征显示这套变泥质岩普遍经历了原地深熔作用,并局部发生混合岩化作用。岩相学观察结果显示泥质片麻岩保留了关键的深熔作用显微结构证据:(1)石榴子石内部发育有钾长石、石英和斜长石组成的矿物集合体,可能代表了早期熔体的假象;(2)黑云母颗粒边界发育尖锐的、不规则的微斜长石,而且黑云母边界溶蚀明显,形成锯齿状不规则的边界,指示深熔作用可能与黑云母的分解密切相关,即黑云母可能为深熔作用的主要反应相;(3)石英、斜长石或石榴子石颗粒边界发育圆珠状不规则的钾长石,而且颗粒边界或三联点中尖锐状钾长石与周围矿物的形成较小的二面角,有些甚至相互连通呈网络状,这也与它们继承了熔体结构特征一致;(4)不规则钾长石(或微斜长石)分布在石榴子石和夕线石附近,指示石榴子石和夕线石可能为深熔作用的残留相。锆石U-Pb定年结果显示麻粒岩相变质作用和相关深熔作用时代基本一致,主要发生在~450Ma。因此,吐拉地区的中压麻粒岩相变质作用和深熔作用明显要晚于南阿尔金地区榴辉岩和高压麻粒岩的峰期变质时代40~50Myr,而是与榴辉岩折返过程中麻粒岩相叠加变质作用的时代较为接近。但南阿尔金~450Ma的变质作用、深熔作用和岩浆作用是否为独立的构造热事件抑或深俯冲板片折返阶段的产物,这还需要今后进一步的工作验证。     

藏北羌塘中部戈木日榴辉岩的岩石学、矿物学及变质作用pTt轨迹

松潘—甘孜造山带中丹巴地区变质岩演化及其地质意义

丹巴地区位于松潘—甘孜造山带中部。区域动热变质作用主要发生于印支晚期—喜马拉雅早期,与深层滑脱-逆冲作用有关。根据特征矿物组合．丹巴地区变质岩可划分出六个变质带：绢云母—绿泥石带、黑云母带、石榴子石带、十字石带、蓝晶石带和夕线石带。石榴子石生长环带代表每段时间矿物晶体边部的平衡,可用于推测石榴子石生长时的P－t轨迹。利用石榴子石—黑云母温度计和石榴子石—斜长石—Al2SiO5-石英压力计得到石榴子石的参考温度、压力,根据环带定量计算得到的变质作用p-t轨迹为顺时外形式,与其所处的构造背景为大陆碰撞造山带是一致的。

柴达木盆地北缘都兰地区榴辉岩中透长石＋石英包裹体：超高压变质作用的证据

近年来在祁连地体与紫达木地块之间大柴旦－－都兰北一线确定出一条榴辉岩带。在此带东端北部地区野马滩一带榴辉岩中，我们发现产在石榴子石内部由透长石和多晶石英（柯石英假像）构成的包裹体。包裹体在内部结构特征及周围的状裂纹反映早期超高压变质相特征，据此，推测柴达木盆地北缘榴辉岩带可能是一形成深度超过80km的超高压变质带。     

喜马拉雅造山带片麻岩中石榴子石的多期生长

石榴子石是高级变质作用的重要矿物之一,能够保留成分环带和不同变质阶段的矿物或流体包裹体,为示踪寄主岩石经历的变质演化历史提供重要信息。本文对采自雅拉香波片麻岩穹窿内高级变质岩中石榴子石进行了详细的包裹体成分、主量元素环带和微量元素特征的研究,揭示出石榴子石黑云母片麻岩至少记录了五期岩浆或变质热事件。第Ⅰ期石榴子石为来源于源区的岩浆型石榴子石。第Ⅱ期、第Ⅲ期和第Ⅳ期石榴子石为变质型石榴子石,但不同期次变质作用的温压条件和生长介质、矿物组合不同。第Ⅴ期石榴子石为转熔型石榴子石,是黑云母脱水熔融形成,记录了喜马拉雅造山过程早期加厚地壳条件下的深熔作用。喜马拉雅造山带变质岩中石榴子石具有复杂的成因机制和演化历史,在应用石榴子石进行变质作用研究时,需要仔细甄别,否则会得到错误的结论。     

北天山西部温泉岩群中石榴角闪岩的岩石学和变质作用P-T轨迹研究

北天山西部温泉岩群中新发现的石榴角闪岩对于研究中亚造山带的形成与演化具有重要意义。详细的岩相学和相平衡模拟的结果表明,石榴角闪岩的变质演化过程可以划分为三个阶段:(1)升温升压进变质阶段,以石榴子石中包裹绿帘石为特征,矿物组合为石榴子石+角闪石+斜长石+石英+钛铁矿+绿帘石,峰期变质条件为700℃/9. 6kbar,可能发生的变质反应为角闪石+绿帘石+石英→石榴子石+斜长石+水;(2)近等温降压退变质阶段,以石榴子石周围发育由"斜长石+石英+角闪石"组成的"白眼圈"结构为特征,可能发生的变质反应为石榴子石+石英+水→角闪石+斜长石;(3)降温降压退变质阶段,以石榴子石发育绿泥石化为特征。结合前人研究成果,推测石榴角闪岩形成于晚奥陶世古亚洲洋俯冲消减的环境中。     

北祁连南缘右行韧性走滑剪切带糜棱岩矿物的化学成分及其对形成环境的响应

长英质糜棱岩是北祁连南缘右行韧性走滑剪切带内的主要构造岩类型,其中主要矿物都发生不同程度的塑性变形。石榴石内矿物包裹体的痕迹、长英质矿物的定向分布及矿物间的接触关系等表明糜棱岩中的矿物为同构造生长的产物。石榴石、黑云母、白云母和斜长石的矿物化学成分特点表明糜棱岩的变质程度达角闲岩相,形成于高温环境。石榴石微区成分存在两种类型：一种为环带型,从核部到边缘,MnO含量从中心向边缘逐渐降低,FeO和MgO加含量逐渐增加,反映石榴石形成于递进变质环境;另一种为均一型,显示剪切带内局部变质作用的强度继续增大,温度进一步升高(>600℃),组分扩散能力的提高使石榴石内的环带部分或全部均一化。矿物化学成分温压计的计算结果表明矿物形成温度为651～763℃．压力为6.2×10⁸～8.4×10⁸Pa。据此,推测该韧性剪切带形成于地下17～19km．后随祁连加里东造山带一起隆升出露地表。     

Geochemistry of major and rare earth elements in garnet of the Kal-e Kafi skarn,Anarak Area,Central Iran: Constraints on processes in a hydrothermal system

Grossular-andradite (grandite) garnets, precipitated from hydrothermal solutions is associated with contact metamorphism in the Kal-e Kafi skarn show complex oscillatory chemical zonation. These skarn garnets preserve the records of the temporal evolution of contact metasomatism. According to microscopic studies and microprobe analysis profiles, the studied garnet has two distinct parts: the intermediate (granditic) composition birefringent core that its andradite content based on microprobe analysis varies between 0.68–0.7. This part is superimposed with more andraditic composition, and the isotropic rim which its andradite content regarding microprobe analysis ranges between 0.83–0.99. Garnets in the studied sample are small (0.5–2 mm in diameter) and show complex oscillatory zoning. Electron microprobe analyses of the oscillatory zoning in grandite garnet of the Kal-e Kafi area showed a fluctuation in chemical composition. The grandite garnets normally display core with intermediate composition with oscillatory Fe-rich zones at the rim. Detailed study of oscillatory zoning in grandite garnet from Kal-e Kafi area suggests that the garnet has developed during early metasomatism involving monzonite to monzodiorite granitoid body intrusion into the Anarak schist- marble interlayers. During this metasomatic event, Al, Fe, and Si in the fluid have reacted with Ca in carbonate rocks to form grandite garnet. The first step of garnet growth has been coeval with intrusion of the Kal-e Kafi granitoid into the Anarak schist- marble interlayers. In this period of garnet growth, change in fluid composition may cause the garnet to stop growing temporarily or keep growing but in a much slower rate allowing Al to precipitate rather than Fe. The next step consists of pervasive infiltration of Fe rich fluids and Fe rich grandite garnets formation as the rim of previously formed more Al rich garnets. Oscillatory zoning in the garnet probably reflects an oscillatory change in the fluid composition which may be internally and/or externally controlled. The rare earth elements study of these garnets revealed enrichment in light REEs (LREE) with a maximum at Pr and Nd and a negative to no Eu anomaly. This pattern is resulted from the uptake of REE out of hydrothermal fluids by growing crystals of calcsilicate minerals principally andradite with amounts of LREE controlled by the difference in ionic radius between Ca⁺⁺ and REE³⁺ in garnet x site.     

Petrology and Rare Earth Elements Mineral Chemistry of Chadegan Metabasites (Sanandaj-Sirjan Zone,Iran): Evidence for Eclogite-Facies Metamorphism during Neotethyan Subduction

The metabasites of Chadegan, including eclogite, garnet amphibolite and amphibolite, are forming a part of Sanandaj–Sirjan Zone. These rocks have formed during the subduction of the Neo–Tethys ocean crust under Iranian plate. This subduction resulted in a subduction metamorphism under high pressuremedium temperature of eclogite and amphibolites facies condition. Then the metamorphic rocks were exhumed during the continental collision between the Afro–Arabian continent and the Iranian microcontinent. In the metabasite rocks, with typical MORB composition, garnet preserved a compositional zoning occurred during metamorphism. The magnesium (X_Mg) gradually increases from core to rim of garnets, while the manganese (X_Mn) decreases towards the rim. Chondrite–normalized Rare Earth Element patterns for these garnets exhibit core–to–rim increases in Light Rare Earth Elements. The chondrite–normalized REE patterns of garnets, amphiboles and pyroxenes display positive trend from LREEs to Heavy Rare Earth Elements (especially in garnet), which suggests the role of these minerals as the major controller of HREE distribution. The geochemical features show that the studied eclogite and associated rocks have a MORB origin, and probably formed in a deep–seated subduction channel environment. The geothermometry estimation yields average pressure of ~22 kbar and temperature of 470–520°C for eclogite fomation. The thermobarometry results gave T = 650–700°C and P ≈ 10–11 kbar for amphibolite facies.     

高温变泥质岩石中石榴石-黑云母地质温度计的应用——以胶北荆山群富铝岩石为例

在对胶北荆山群麻粒岩相富铝岩石中石榴石、黑云母的成分环带进行深入研究基础上,选取不同粒径、与不同矿物相邻的石榴石、黑云母各微区点成分,利用石榴石-黑云母温度计分别进行了温度估算。确定在黑云母含量较高的岩石(V_(Grt)/V_(Bt)≤1)中,利用大颗粒石榴石(d≥1500μm)晶体核部(或靠近长英质矿物一侧的晶体幔部)成分与基质中远离石榴石等镁铁矿物处于长英质矿物之间的黑云母核部成分配合。通过石榴石-黑云母温度计可以获得相当可信的变质峰期温度。但是对于黑云母含量极低的岩石(V_(Grt)/V_(Bt)≥6),由于黑云母的成分普遍遭到了强烈改造。使得温度估算结果异常偏低,因此不适合采用石榴石-黑云母温度计估算峰期温度。同一岩石中,采用不同的相邻石榴石-黑云母矿物对晶体边缘成分获得的温度值差异较大,反映它们在峰期后发生Fe-Mg交换反应并达到封闭温度平衡状态的程度不同,因此利用石榴石-黑云母温度计难以获得准确的封闭温度。通过热力学计算,建立了一个新的石榴石-黑云母温度计公式。确定胶北荆山群所经历的变质峰期温度为720～770℃,峰期后最低相对封闭温度为480～500℃。

Superzoned garnets in the coesite-bearing Brossasco-Isasca Unit, Dora-Maira massif, Western Alps, and the origin of the whiteschists

Rare centimeter-sized superzoned garnets (SZGs) were discovered in two coesite-bearing whiteschists of the Brossasco-Isasca Unit (BIU), southern Dora-Maira massif (DMM), Western Alps. The superzoned garnet consists of a reddish-brown almandine core crowded with inclusions of staurolite, chloritoid, kyanite, chlorite and paragonite, and of a pinkish pyrope rim with sporadic inclusions of kyanite, and magnesian chlorite. The core–rim contact is relatively sharp and marks the termination of the inclusion-rich portion. The core composition of the superzoned garnet is almost identical to, or slightly richer in Mg, than that of the rim of porphyroblastic garnet in metapelites from the same unit. In the rim of the superzoned garnet, Mg–Fe ratio increases abruptly towards the outermost rim, whose composition is identical to that of the common pyrope in the whiteschist. At the core–rim boundary, there is no chemical gap. Chloritoid and staurolite are common inclusions in the core of the superzoned garnet in the whiteschist and in the porphyroblastic garnet in the metapelite. The staurolite composition (Si=2.00 and total R²⁺<2.0 for O=23 basis) and its reverse Fe–Mg distribution with respect to garnet suggest a HP origin. The Fe–Mg distribution between chloritoid and garnet is reverse in the superzoned garnet, but normal in the garnet of metapelite. Because normal Fe–Mg distribution was reported from other eclogite-facies metapelites, a model petrogenetic grid was constructed in the FMASH model system considering St, Cld, Ky, Chl, Grt, and assuming the following Fe–Mg partitioning of St>Grt>Cld>Chl. The resulting petrogenetic grid suggests that the core of the superzoned garnet contains incompatible assemblages, such as St–Cld–Chl vs. Cld–Chl–Ky. New and literature data and results of experiments in the KFASH system suggest that: (1) the superzoned garnet was formed under a single prograde high-pressure/ultra high-pressure (HP/UHP) Alpine metamorphism, (2) the almandine inclusion-rich core of the superzoned garnet crystallized at disequilibrium in a pelitic composition system at around 600°C and less than 16 kbar, probably from a former metapelite xenolith included in a Variscan granitoid, and (3) the chemical environment of the host rock suddenly changed from the normal pelite to the whiteschist composition by a metasomatic process during the rim growth, i.e., at a stage close to the UHP climax.     

Garnet in silicic liquids and its possible use as a P-T indicator

Melting experiments on a model pelitic composition yield low-spessartine garnet as an important residual phase at pressures above 7 kb. The K _D values for distribution of iron and magnesium between coexisting garnet and liquid in the pelitic composition are mainly sensitive to temperature, but also have a small pressure dependence. At temperatures above 950 ° C garnet has a higher value than coexisting liquid, but below 950 ° C the garnet value is lower than that of the coexisting liquid. Thus at temperatures below 950 ° C silicic magmas may fractionate garnet and produce more magnesian derivative liquids.Reconnaissance experiments with added MnO content in the model pelite demonstrate that spessartine-rich garnets are stable in silicic liquids to pressures as low as 3 kb. The MnO and CaO contents of the experimentally crystallized garnets show an antipathetic relation. Also, the grossular content of near-liquidus garnets crystallizing from a range of compositions increases with increasing pressure. The spessartine and grossular contents of most natural garnets in eastern Australian granitic rocks suggest that these garnets formed at pressures greater than 5 kb. Increased spessartine content allows crystallization of garnet in equilibrium with a silicic magma well within the pressure limit of stability of cordierite, provided the garnet contains 10 mol.% spessartine. Thus the depth range over which garnet and cordierite may coexist in a silicic melt is broadened, subject to the availability of MnO. The effect of increased Mn content on the low-pressure stability limit of garnet may also explain the lack of resorption of some garnets in granitic magmas, as these magmas rise to shallower levels. These euhedral garnets characteristically show zoning from an Mn-poor core (typically <4 % MnO) to an Mn-richer rim (typically >4 % MnO) and may reflect continued growth of the garnet in a low pressure regime, stabilized by Mn concentrated in the residual liquid fractions of the crystallizing magma.     

Garnet evolution in pre-Variscan pelitic rocks from the Lake Emosson area, Aiguilles Rouges Massif, Western Alps

Abstract The chemical evolution of garnets from pelitic rocks of probable Palaeozoic age corresponds to a complex metamorphic evolution of the host rocks.
Among the almandine-rich garnets (Alm_60–80), two main types of evolution can be distinguished. Early Mn-rich garnets coexisting with kyanite may be replaced by plagioclase and then, during a late stage, by biotite and/or sillimanite. The second type of evolution corresponds to an overgrowth of Mn-poor late-stage garnet on older Mn-rich garnets which corresponds to a thermal peak with sillimanite-type of metamorphism. This new garnet may appear either as an overgrowth with a strong discontinuity, or as small, new euhedral garnet or as skeletal garnet.
This chemical evolution of garnet corresponds to an early collisional stage of metamorphism (of high pressure type with high Mn values) of probable Ordovician age followed by uplift and a thermal peak (low Mn values) in Devonian times.     

胶北粉子山群石榴云母片岩的三叠纪独居石年龄及其地质意义

胶北地块粉子山群石榴云母片岩中石榴石变斑晶内包裹物迹线明显,保留了岩石形成过程中的多期变质变形信息。电子探针成分面扫描图显示石榴石成分环带明显,可分为核部、幔部和边部。石榴石中MgO、FeO、MnO和CaO含量变化特征表明其核部到边部温度先升高后降低,对应进变质及退变质过程。根据原位独居石Y元素成分面扫描图显示,部分独居石颗粒由核部到边部Y含量呈现逐渐降低趋势,说明测得的232.6±1.1Ma~229.5±3.7Ma的独居石U-Pb年龄,对应石榴石的进变质生长过程。结合1869±72Ma的锆石U-Pb年龄数据,可推断粉子山群石榴云母片岩至少经历了古元古代及三叠纪两期变质事件的改造。粉子山群石榴云母片岩卷入了苏鲁超高压变质带的俯冲碰撞造山事件。电子探针成分分析结果表明粉子山群石榴云母片岩中的石榴石属于铁铝榴石,反映出经受中级区域变质作用的特征。说明粉子山群石榴云母片岩虽然参与了三叠纪苏鲁超高压变质带的俯冲碰撞造山过程,但俯冲深度较浅。这可用大陆俯冲过程中上盘的俯冲剥蚀来解释,并可为陆-陆碰撞俯冲剥蚀模式提出的扬子板片在240~220Ma的深俯冲作用过程中拽动胶北地块向下俯冲又折返的运动过程提供佐证,但胶北地块是否经历了深俯冲超高压变质作用,还需要进一步验证。     

Distinct metamorphic evolution of alternating silica-saturated and silica-deficient microdomains within garnet in ultrahigh-temperature granulites: An example from Sri Lanka

Here we report the occurrence of garnet porphyroblasts that have overgrown alternating silica-saturated and silica deficient microdomains via different mineral reactions. The samples were collected from ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) metapelites in the Highland Complex, Sri Lanka. In some of the metapelites, garnet crystals have cores formed via a dehydration reaction, which had taken place at silica-saturated microdomains and mantle to rim areas formed via a dehydration reaction at silica-deficient microdomains. In contrast, some other garnets in the same rock cores had formed via a dehydration reaction which occurred at silica-deficient microdomains while mantle to rim areas formed via a dehydration reaction at silica-saturated microdomains. Based on the textural observations, we conclude that the studied garnets have grown across different effective bulk compositional microdomains during the prograde evolution. These microdomains could represent heterogeneous compositional layers (paleobedding/laminations) in the precursor sediments or differentiated crenulation cleavages that existed during prograde metamorphism. UHT metamorphism associated with strong ductile deformation, metamorphic differentiation and crystallization of locally produced melt may have obliterated the evidence for such microdomains in the matrix. The lack of significant compositional zoning in garnet probably due to self-diffusion during UHT metamorphism had left mineral inclusions as the sole evidence for earlier microdomains with contrasting chemistry.
