Mechanical Segregation of Garnet in Synmetamorphic Flow of Pelitic Schists

The two-dimensional distribution patterns of garnet grains incontact metamorphic rocks and the Sambagawa high P/T type metamorphicrocks were studied by means of Fry's map in order to investigatethe development of segregation during synmetamorphic shear flow.The distribution of garnet in the undeformed hornfelses is nearlyrandom, indicating that the nucleation sites are approximatelyrandom. The distribution patterns of garnet in the highly deformedSambagawa pelitic schists, however, can be divided into twotypes: one is strongly random, and another is strongly clustered.The random distribution occurs in the relatively lower grademetamorphic rocks, whereas the clustered one is found in thehigher grade zones. This segregation of garnet comes from thekinematic collision of garnet grains in shear flow and the apparentattractive force operating between garnet grains due to an overgrowthmechanism.     

Reversal of Fe-Mg Partitioning Between Garnet and Staurolite in Eclogite-facies Metapelites from the Champtoceaux Nappe (Brittany, France)

This paper concentrates on the petrology of eclogite-faciesmetapelites and, particularly, the significance of staurolitein these rocks. A natural example of staurolite-bearing eclogitic micaschistsfrom the Champtoceaux nappe (Brittany, France) is first described.The Champtoceaux metapelites present, in addition to quartz,phengite, and rutile, two successive parageneses: (1) chloritoid+staurolite+garnetcores, and (2) garnet rims+kyanite?chloritoid. Detailed microprobe analyses show that garnet and chloritoidevolve towards more magnesian compositions and that stauroliteis more Fe-rich than coexisting garnet. A comparison of thestudied rocks with other known occurrences of eclogitic metapelitesshows that whereas staurolite is always more Fe-rich than garnetin high-pressure eclogites, the reverse is true in low- to medium-pressuremicaschists. Phase relations between garnet, staurolite, chloritoid, biotite,and chlorite are analysed in the KFMASH system (with excessquartz, phengite, rutile, and H₂O). The topology of univariantreactions is depicted for a normal and a reverse Fe-Mg partitioningbetween garnet and staurolite. Mineral compositional changesare also predicted for varying bulk-rock chemistries. In the studied micaschists, the zonal arrangement of garnetinclusions and the progressive compositional changes of ferromagnesianphases record part of the prograde P–T path, before theattainment of ‘peak’ metamorphic conditions (atabout 65O–7OO?C, 18–20 kb). The retrograde path,which records the uplift of the Champtoceaux nappe, occurs underdecreasing temperatures.     

An experimental study of the effect of Ca upon garnet-clinopyroxene Fe-Mg exchange equilibria

A series of basaltic compositions and compositions within the simple system CaO-MgO-FeO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ have been crystallized to garnetclinopyroxene bearing mineral assemblages in the range 24–30 kb pressure, 750°–1,300° C temperature. Microprobe analyses of coexisting garnet and clinopyroxene show that K _D(Fe²⁺/Mg^G+/Fe²⁺/Mg^Cpx) for the Fe-Mg exchange reaction between coexisting garnet and clinopyroxene is obviously dependent upon the Ca-content and apparently independent of the Mg/(Mg+Fe) content of the clinopyroxene and garnet. The Ca-effect is believed to be due to a combination of non-ideal Ca-Mg substitutions in the garnet and clinopyroxene. Our data and interpretation reconciles previous inconsistencies in the temperature dependence of K _D ^? values determined in experimental studies of simple systems, complex basalt, grospydite and garnet peridotite compositions. Previous differences between the effect of pressure upon K _Das predicted from simple system theory (Banno, 1970), and that observed in experiments on multicomponent natural rock compositions (Råheim and Green, 1974a) can now be resolved. We have determined K _Das a function of P, T, and X _Gt ^Ca (grossular) and derived the empirical relation $$T\left( {^\circ {\text{K}}} \right) = \frac{{3104X_{{\text{Ca}}}^{{\text{Gt}}} + 3030 + 10.86P\left( {{\text{kb}}} \right)}}{{\ln K_{\text{D}} + 1.9034}}$$ . This empirical relationship has been applied to garnet-clinopyroxene bearing rocks from a wide range of geological environments. The geothermometer yields similar estimates for garnet-clinopyroxene equilibration for neighbouring rocks of different composition and different K _Dvalues. In addition, temperature estimates using the above relationship are more consistent with independent temperature estimates based on other geothermometers than previous estimates which did not correct for the Ca-effect. An alternative approach to the above empirical geothermometer was attempted using regular solution models to derive Margules parameters for various solid solutions in garnets and clinopyroxenes. The derived Margules parameters are broadly consistent with those determined from binary solution studies, but caution must be exercised in interpreting them in terms of actual thermodynamic properties of the relevant crystalline solid solutions because of the assumptions which necessarily have to be made in this approach.     

The Composition of Garnets from Pelitic Schists in relation to the Grade of Regional Metamorphism

Analyses of garnets are presented from a wide variety of metamorphicterrains, in relation to which there appears to be a regularpattern of substitution of (FeO+MgO) for (CaO+MnO), the valuesof these components reflecting the metamorphic grade of thepelitic schists. This provides a method for indicating variationsin grade in metamorphic terrains and for comparing the variationsin different areas. In areas of repeated metamorphism this wouldappear to have a particular value in establishing the gradeof the various episodes of metamorphism. It is also demonstratedthat by the determination of selected physical propertics (unitcell edge a and refractive index) of garnets in the peliticschists, and evaluating the significance of their variations,it is possible to work out the local changes of metamorphicgrade within a particular area.     

Temperature and pressure dependence of Fe-Mg partitioning between garnet and phengite,with particular reference to eclogites

Experimental data combined with data from natural rocks have been used to calibrate a geothermometer based on the distribution of Fe²⁺ and Mg between coexisting garnets and phengites. The pressure effect on the K _D -value appears to be considerable. The calculated thermometer is expressed as $$T(K) = \frac{{3685 + 77.1P(kb)}}{{InK_D + 3.52}}.$$ The use of this \(K_{D_{(FeO/MgO)} }^{ga + ph}\) geothermometer on eclogites with low Fe₂O₃ content, gives P-T values which are in good accordance with those obtained by other methods. The problems that arise when Fe³⁺ is present in larger amounts, are discussed.

Selected Phase Relationships in the System Al-Mn-Fe-Si-O-H: A Model for Garnet Equilibria

The bulk compositions 3FeO_x.Al₂O₃.3SiO₂ $ excess H₂O and 3MnO.Al₂O₃.3SiO₂$ excess H₂O were investigated employing conventional hydrothermaltechniques. Almandine and spessartine were synthesized and stabilityrelationships determined in terms of temperature, fluid pressure,and oxygen fugacity. Synthetic almandine has unit cell edge, a₀ = 11.528 0.001 index of refraction, N_D = 1.829 0.003. No systematic variationsof these values with respect to temperature, fluid pressure,and oxygen fugacity were observed. Spessartine, synthesizedat high temperatures, has average values of a₀ = 11.614 0.001 and N_D = 1.799 0.003. However, below about 600 C a₀ graduallyincreases to 11.635 0.001 and N_D decreases to 1.772 0.003with decreasing temperature, irrespective of fluid pressureand oxygen fugacity. These changes appear to reflect the productionof hydrospessartine below about 600 C. The stability of almandine strongly depends on the oxygen fugacity.It is stable up to the vicinity of oxygen fugacities definedby the fayalite–magnetite$quartz buffer; the low f_o2,range has not been determined, but lies at oxygen fugacitiesless than those defined by the ironquartz–fayalite buffer.The stability field of almandine$fluid is bounded by the followingP_fluid-T values. At low oxidation states, the low temperature hydrous assemblageof equivalent composition consists of quartz$iron chlorite ($magnetite)$fluidand the high temperature equivalent assemblage consists of fayalite$ironcordierite$hercynite₈₈$fluid. Where f_O2 approximates or is inexcess of that defined by the fayalite–magnetite$quartzbuffer the low temperature hydrous assemblages consist of quartz$ironchlorite$magnetite$fluid, iron chlorite$pyrophyllite$magnetite$fluid,magnetite$mullite$pyrophyllite$fluid, and hematite$mullite$pyrophyllite$fluid;the anhydrous equivalent assemblages consist of quartz$hercynite₈₈,$magnetite₈₈$fluid, quartz$mullite$magnetite$fluid, and quartz$mullite$hematite$fluid,both in order of increasing oxygen fugacity. The stability of spessartine, in contrast to that of almandine,is essentially independent of oxygen fugacity at least up tothat defined by the magnetite-hematite buffer. Spessartine isstable up to the highest temperature, 930 C, employed in thisinvestigation at P_fluid = 500 bars. However, it decomposes toa hydrous assemblage consisting of quartz$manganese chlorite$fluidat the following P_fluid-T values: 414 5 C and 3000 bars;405 5C and 2000 bars; 386 10 C and 1000 bars; 3645C and 500 bars. Garnets are rare constituents of igneous rocks; those whichdo occur are predominantly spessartine-rich, and are virtuallyconfined to felsic magmas. Garnets are absent from mafic igneousrocks because the thermal stability ranges of iron-rich membersare below the solidus. The near absence of almandine in contactmetamorphosed pelitic rocks may reflect a relatively high oxidationstate in the aureoles rather than inappropriate P-T conditions.It is argued that the compositions of pyralspite garnets inpelitic schists are subject to various physical and chemicalfactors, including f_O2. With appropriate provisions, the Mn/Feratios of garnet coexisting with chlorite and quartz might beused as a temperature indicator. The rarity of spessartine in igneous and metamorphic rocks apparentlystems from the departure of rock bulk composition from Mn-richvalues rather than from the absence of appropriate physicalconditions.

华南三类含钨锡矽卡岩中石榴子石的成分、微量元素及红外光谱

本文对荷花坪锡多金属矿,锡田锡钨多金属矿以及新田岭钨矿矽卡岩中的石榴子石样品分别进行了主量元素、微量元素及红外光谱测定。结果表明,3种矽卡岩中的石榴子石多数属于(铁铝榴石+镁铝榴石+锰铝榴石)<15%的钙铁-钙铝榴石系列。新田岭钨矿的石榴子石中钙铁榴石端员含量明显高于其他两个锡矿。此外,在荷花坪、新田岭矿区发现了与后期铅锌矿化有关的锰质石榴子石。在单矿物尺度上,荷花坪矿区石榴子石核部富集钙铝榴石,边部富集钙铁榴石,而锡田矿区石榴子石与之相反;新田岭矿区石榴子石具有相对均匀的核部而边部发育细密的振荡环带。在稀土配分模式上,荷花坪矿区石榴子石重稀土富集,轻稀土亏损,δEu负异常较弱;锡田矿区石榴子石稀土总量最高,轻重稀土无明显分异,δEu负异常较弱;新田岭矿区石榴子石轻重稀土分异极强,重稀土富集,轻稀土严重亏损,δEu具显著的正异常。3种石榴子石的红外漫反射光谱均显示有10种吸收峰,其中低频区的5种与石榴子石成分中的钙铁榴石含量直接相关,因而造成新田岭矿区石榴子石的吸收峰与另两矿区石榴子石相比显著向低频波段移动。通过对华南3类含钨锡矽卡岩中的石榴子石的研究,确认了石榴子石的形成与矽卡岩形成中热液体系的环境变化密切相关。微量元素分析与红外光谱技术作为近年来矽卡岩型石榴子石研究的热点,能够提供传统研究中所不能涉及的微观信息。

Talc-Phengite: a Widespread Assemblage in High-Grade Pelitic Blueschists of the Western Alps

Talc-phengite, an assemblage hitherto believed to be rare, isfound in regional distribution in the Gran Paradiso area, whereit occurs in the characteristic mineral association chloritoid-talc-phengite(Si_3·4–_3·5). Talc contains up to 15 moleper cent minnesotaite, and chloritoid up to 45 mole per centof the magnesium end member. The talc-phengite stability resultsbasically from the disappearance of chlorite + quartz in rockswith low and moderate MgO/FeO ratios through the divariant reactionsfirst recognized here: Fe-Mg-Chlorite+quartz talc + garnet + H₂O and Fe-Mg-chlorite + quartz talc + Chloritoid + H₂O These reactions imply the disappearance of the join biotite-chloritein the presence of quartz and thus open a talc-phengite stabilityfield (±garnet or chloritoid or Mg-chlorite) which extends,with increasing P and T, toward Mg-richer compositions. Whetheror not it reaches the magnesian subsystem in the Gran Paradisoarea cannot be ascertained. However, the sporadic occurrenceof the high-pressure assemblage talc-kyanite-chloritoid 50 to70 km further northeast in the vicinity of the Monte Rosa massifwithin the same lithological unit (Zermatt-Saas Fee zone s.l.)indicates the instability of any chlorite in quartz-bearingrocks, and implies that talc-phengite must also be stable forpurely magnesian compositions in that area. This progressivestabilization of talc-phengite with increasing metamorphic gradesupports Abraham & Schreyer's (1976) hypothesis of a high-pressurefield for this assemblage, and rules out Chernosky's construction(1978) implying a low-pressure field. The following paragenetic sequence is proposed for pelitic compositionswith intermediate Mg/Fe ratios and excess quartz subjected tohigh-pressure metamorphism with maximum temperatures near 400–500°C: chlorite-illite chlorite-phengite chloritoid-talc-phengite.The absence of biotite is a compositional effect due to thehigh degree of phengite substitution in the white mica. ^*Present address: Institut fr Mineralogic, Ruhr-Universitt, Postfach 10 21 48, D-4630 Bochum 1, Federal Republic of Germany.     

Phase Relations and Chemical Composition of Phengite and Paragonite in Pelitic Schists During Decompression: a Case Study from the Monte Rosa Nappe and Camughera-Moncucco Unit, Western Alps

The metamorphic evolution of metapelites from the eastern partof the Monte Rosa nappe and the Camughera–Moncucco unit,both situated in the upper Penninic units SW of the Simplonline, were investigated using microstructural relationshipsand equilibrium phase diagrams. The units under considerationexperienced pre-Alpine amphibolite-facies conditions and underwenta complex metamorphic evolution during the Alpine orogeny. Peakpressures during an early Alpine high-pressure stage of 12·5–16kbar were similar in the Monte Rosa nappe and Camughera–Moncuccounit. A pronounced thermal gradient is indicated during decompressionleading to an amphibolite-facies overprint, as the decompressionpaths went through the chlorite, biotite and plagioclase stabilityfields in most of the Monte Rosa nappe, through the staurolitefield in the easternmost Monte Rosa nappe and in the Camughera–Moncuccounit, and through the sillimanite field in the easternmost Camughera–Moncuccounit. In high-Al metapelites the initial formation of stauroliteis related to continuous paragonite breakdown and associatedformation of biotite. In the course of this reaction phengitebecomes successively sodium enriched. In low-Al metapelites,in contrast, the initial staurolite formation occurs via thecontinuous breakdown of sodium-rich phengite. In both low- andhigh-Al metapelites the largest volume of staurolite is formedduring the continuous breakdown of sodium-rich phengite belowP–T conditions of about 9·5 kbar at 600–650°C.During this reaction phengite becomes successively potassiumenriched as sodium from phengite is used to form the albitecomponent in plagioclase. For ‘normal’ pelitic chemistries,phengite becomes Na enriched during decompression through thebreakdown of paragonite along a near-isothermal decompressionpath. The Na content in phengite reaches its maximum when paragoniteis entirely consumed. During further decompression the paragonitecomponent in phengite decreases again because Na is preferentiallyincorporated into the albite component of plagioclase.

The Origin and Significance of Snowball Structure in Garnet

Sigmoidal lines of inclusions (snowball structure) indicatesyntectonic crystallization and are due to the rotation of thecrystal during growth. The sigmoidal trends form spirals whosemathematical properties may be determined. Structural analysisof garnets from Tasmania and Scotland shows that the spiralsare a variant of the Archimedes spiral and the forms of thetwo examined are given by r²=a and r³= respectively, where ris the radius of the crystal, a is a constant, and is the angleof rotation in radians. The amount of movement (slip) alongthe foliation to cause the measured rotation of the crystalmay be calculated but is approximately 30 per cent greater thanthe length of the visible spiral.

Phase Equilibria in Three Assemblages of Kyanite-Zone Pelitic Schists, Lincoln Mountain Quadrangle, Central Vermont

Petrologic and geologic arguments suggested that a close approachto chemical equilibrium at a single temperature and pressuremight be found in the rocks near Mt. Grant in central Vermont.An area 2,800 feet by 4,000 feet was selected and studied indetail. The major assemblages are: kyanite-chloritoid-chlorite-quartz-muscovite-paragonite-rutile;garnet-chloritoid-chlorite-quartz-muscovite-paragonite-ilmenite;and garnet-chlorite-biotite-quartz-muscovite-albite-ilmenite.All minerals were separated from a primary sample for each ofthese assemblages and purified, complete gravimetric and spectrographicanalyses performed, and optical properties, X-ray properties,and densities measured. Chlorite, garnet, and chloritoid orbiotite were separated from an additional nine samples of theseassemblages and spectrographic and partial gravimetric analysesperformed. Distribution coefficients of each mineral pair for Mg/Fe andMn/Fe+ Mg and for the minor elements are similar in nearly everysample for a given assemblage. Distribution coefficients forgarnet-chlorite differ in the two assemblages which containthis pair; this difference is attributed to the difference inAl-content of the chlorite from the two assemblages. The smallrange of distribution coefficients, despite a wide range inthe relative proportions of the ferromagnesian phases, is convincingevidence that an equilibrium partition of the major and minorcations between the phases in each sample had been attainedand that the equilibration temperature was the same for eachsample. The coexistence of kyanite+muscovite+quartz and comparison ofthe composition of coexistent Ca-free muscovite and paragoniteand of O¹⁸/O¹⁰ ratios for coexistent quartz and magnetite withexperimental values indicate that these rocks formed at P_s 11 kb, T 550? C, and aH₂o low enough (Pe(H₂o) sufficiently lessthan P_s) to depress the pyrophyllite breakdown temperature byabout 40? C. The cations and the ao₂ are equilibrated locally(within each sample), but all the samples have equilibratedto a common O¹⁸/O¹⁶ ratio. A possible explanation is that afluid medium had sufficient oxygen in H₂O to control the O¹⁸/O¹⁶ratio of the rock and its phases, but that the rock system hadsufficient buffer capacity to control the ao₂ of the fluid.

The Effect of Reaction Overstep on Garnet Microtextures in Metapelitic Rocks of the Ilesha Schist Belt, SW Nigeria

Garnet-bearing assemblages of K-rich and K-poor metapelitesfrom the Ilesha Schist belt, SW Nigeria, are investigated. K-richsamples contain the assemblages (A) garnet–staurolite–muscovite–chlorite–magnetite,(B) andalusite–garnet–staurolite–muscovite–chlorite–magnetiteand (C) sillimanite–andalusite–garnet–muscovite–chlorite–magnetite.K-poor samples contain the assemblages (D) garnet–staurolite–cordierite–chloriteand (E) garnet–cordierite–chlorite ± staurolite.All assemblages contain quartz, plagioclase, biotite and ilmenite.P–T pseudosections calculated in the system CaO–Na₂O–K₂O–TiO₂–MnO–FeO–MgO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂ –H₂O ± O₂ suggest peak metamorphismat 590 ± 20°C at 5 ± 0·5 kbar, followedby retrogression to 550°C at 3·0 kbar, in agreementwith field evidence, domain assemblages, mineral compositions,modes and geothermobarometry. The absence of compositional zonationshows that garnet in all investigated rocks nucleated and grewat constant P–T–X in equilibrium with associatedminerals on the thin-section scale. However, the garnet-in reactiondid not begin until the establishment of a significant temperatureoverstep of
