Upper‐amphibolite facies partial melting of paragneisses from the Epupa Complex,NW Namibia,and relations to Mesoproterozoic anorthosite magmatism

The evolution of the mineral assemblages and P–T conditions during partial melting of upper‐amphibolite facies paragneisses in the Orue Unit, Epupa Complex, NW Namibia, is modelled with calculated P–T–X phase diagrams in the Na₂O–CaO–K₂O–FeO–MgO–Al₂O₃–SiO₂–H₂O system. The close concordance of predictions from the phase diagrams to petrographic observations and thermobarometric results documents that quantitative phase diagrams are suitable to explain the phase relationships in migmatitic upper‐amphibolite facies low‐ and medium‐pressure metapelites, which occur in many high‐grade metamorphic terranes worldwide. Different mineral assemblages in the migmatitic metapelites of the Orue Unit reflect regional discrepancies in the metamorphic grade: in a Northern Zone, early biotite–sillimanite–quartz assemblages were replaced via melt‐producing reactions by cordierite‐bearing assemblages. In a Southern Zone, they were replaced via melt‐producing reactions by garnet‐bearing assemblages while cordierite is restricted to rare metapelitic granofelses, which preserve Grt–Sil–Crd–Bt peak assemblages. Peak‐metamorphic conditions of 700–750 °C at 5.5–6.7 kbar in the Southern Zone and of ～750 °C at 4.5 kbar in the Northern Zone are estimated by integrating thermobarometric calculations with data from calculated mineral composition isopleths. Retrograde back‐reactions between restite and crystallizing melt are recorded by the replacement of garnet by biotite–sillimanite and/or biotite–muscovite intergrowths. Upper‐amphibolite facies metamorphism and partial melting (c. 1340–1320 Ma) in the rocks of the Southern Zone of the Orue Unit, which underwent probably near‐isobaric heating–cooling paths, are attributed to contact metamorphism induced by the coeval (c. 1385–1319 Ma) emplacement of the Kunene Intrusive Complex, a huge massif‐type anorthosite body. The lower‐pressure metapelites of the Northern Zone are interpreted to record contact metamorphism at an upper crustal level.     

十字石的原位高压X射线衍射研究

利用原位高压同步辐射能量色散X射线衍射技术,在室温下对采自新疆阿尔泰地区冲乎尔递增变质带的天然十字石进行高压晶体结构测定,测量的压力范围为0.0001~3.9GPa,共11组有效数据。实验表明,在实验压力范围内,随着压力的增加晶胞参数β值逐渐增大,表明了十字石的结构对称性随压力增加而有所降低;同时,在1.5~2.7GPa压力范围内,十字石的晶体结构也发生了改变。     

多硅白云母地质压力计的研究进展

白云母是变质岩中分布最广泛的矿物之一,在大多数矿物组合中白云母的Si含量随着变质作用压力的增加而增加,可作为地质压力计。对KMASH体系3个有限组合中多硅白云母的Si含量与温压条件关系的实验研究结果表明,多硅白云母Si含量地质压力计明显与矿物组合有关。因此,不能把这些实验结果简单地外延到矿物组合不同的天然岩石中。在KMASH体系的温压视剖面图上模拟白云母的Si含量等值线与质量较好的实验结果非常接近,由此可以把这种方法推广到KFMASH或更复杂的体系中。在利用多硅白云母Si的含量确定天然矿物组合的变质作用压力时,最好利用视剖面图的方法。     

阵列相位激电法与时域激电法的对比分析

激电法一直是矿产勘查的主要手段,国内大多使用时域激电法,而相位激电法应用较少。但近年来随着仪器水平的提高,相位激电法开始应用于矿产勘查,取得了较好的应用效果。这里简要介绍了阵列相位激电法和时域激电法的技术原理和方法特点,并通过在湖北兴山白鸡河矿区的试验应用,对二种方法进行对比,讨论其相似性和差别,总结二种方法各自的优缺点。

Elastic waves along a cylindrical borehole in a poroelastic medium saturated by two immiscible fluids

The propagation of elastic waves along a cylindrical borehole filled with/without liquid and embedded in an infinite porous medium saturated by two immiscible fluids has been studied. The theory of porous media saturated by two immiscible fluids developed by Tuncay and Corapcioglu (1997) is employed. Frequency equations determining the phase velocity of axial symmetric waves are obtained. It is found that the surface waves along cylindrical borehole are dispersive. The dispersion equation of Rayleigh-type surface waves along the boundary of a poroelastic solid half-space saturated by two immiscible fluids is also obtained. Some special cases have been deduced and the dispersion curves are obtained numerically for a peculiar model. It is found that the density of fluids affects the Rayleigh mode.     

NaCI—CaCl2-H2O体系人工合成流体包裹体及其冷冻后的熔融行为研究

在倪培等在2003年和丁俊英等在2005年成功开展人工合成包裹体研究的基础上，利用愈合人工水晶裂隙技术，在设定的实验条件下合成了NaCl-CaCl2-H2O体系的流体包裹体。对合成的包裹体进行了岩相学观察，显微测温工作，并结合相应相图分析研究——主要对合成包裹体的低温熔融行为进行探讨。结果表明合成的包裹体捕获了既定组成的流体，其低温相变过程与相应相图吻合。因此，人工合成流体包裹体与天然包裹体相似，天然流体包裹体的各种行为可以参照人工合成流体包裹体；同时，通过人工合成流体包裹体校正补充实验相图，使其更准确的被应用于天然包裹体测定分析。

Phase transition in CaSiO3 perovskite

A phase transition in pure CaSiO₃ perovskite was investigated at 27 to 72 GPa and 300 to 819 K by in-situ X-ray diffraction experiments in an externally-heated diamond-anvil cell. The results show that CaSiO₃ perovskite takes a tetragonal form at 300 K and undergoes phase transition to a cubic structure above 490–580 K in a pressure range studied here. The transition boundary is strongly temperature-dependent with a slightly positive dT / dP slope of 1.1 (± 1.3) K/GPa. It is known that the transition temperature depends on Al₂O₃ content dissolved in CaSiO₃ perovskite [Kurashina et al., Phys. Earth Planet. Inter. 145 (2004) 67–74]. The phase transition in CaSiO₃(+ 3 wt.% Al₂O₃) perovskite therefore could occur in a cold subducted mid-oceanic ridge basalt (MORB) crust at about 1200 K in the upper- to mid-lower mantle. This phase transition is possibly ferroelastic-type and may cause large seismic anomalies in a wide depth range.
