Multi-textured garnets from a single growth event: an example from northern Norway

Abstract Textural relationships between porphyroblasts of biotite and garnet in metasediments in the Nordkinn Peninsula area of the Finnmarkian Caledonides of North Norway are apparently complex. There is evidence for two textural zones in both mineral phases and superficially the development of these appears to have overlapped, at least in part, in time and space. This apparently complex porphyroblast growth history can be considerably simplified if only one period of garnet growth occurred and if different inclusion fabrics developed where garnet replaced biotite porphyroblasts and where it overgrew the matrix foliation. The possibility that porphyroblasts with textural evidence for multiphase growth histories actually grew during a single crystallization event is of importance in the interpretation and elucidation of tectonometamorphic relationships.     

皖南中生代中酸性侵入岩中黑云母的类型和构造意义

云南个旧卡房锡矿田花岗岩黑云母矿物化学特征及其成岩成矿意义

黑云母作为花岗岩中含量最高的暗色矿物,其成分特征对指示岩石成因与成矿起着重要作用。云南个旧卡房锡多 金属矿床的形成与花岗质岩浆活动密切相关,卡房花岗岩包含有大量黑云母,通过电子探针测试方法,对该花岗岩中的 黑云母成分进行了系统的研究。结果显示,黑云母为富铁黑云母,具有富硅、铁、铝、钾、钛,贫锰、镁、钙、钠等特 征,含铁指数为0.67~0.83。黑云母的成分特征暗示其结晶温度为500~708 ℃,结晶压力为202~538 MPa,对应的结晶深度为 7.64~20.35 km,表明卡房花岗岩形成于中低温环境、属于中深成相。综合研究认为,卡房锡矿田花岗岩具有高铁指数以及 氧逸度由高到低变化趋势等特征是锡成矿的有利条件,可以作为在本区寻找锡矿的重要标志。     

张广才岭东侧英城子金矿区早古生代花岗岩锆石U-Pb年龄及地质意义

本文首次对佳木斯地块西缘、张广才岭东侧英城子金矿区出露的大面积黑云母碱长花岗岩,进行了锆石LA-ICP MS U-Pb年代学精细研究。实验共获得四组单颗粒锆石U-Pb谐和年龄,它们分别为612±4Ma、495.2±2.7Ma、476.8±5.5Ma和431±3Ma;其中612±4Ma具有指示晚元古代增生地壳过程形成的花岗岩锆石特征,495.2±2.7Ma的U-Pb年龄与区域内麻山群的变质作用时间相吻合,431±3Ma的年龄与早古生代晚期的区域变质作用时间吻合,而476.8±5.5Ma的锆石年龄则代表黑云母碱长花岗岩的真实结晶年龄。这项成果记录了该地区在中一新元古代时期曾发生过重要的地壳增生事件,增生后的地壳被打开形成大洋;至早古生代早期,两侧的地体发生拼贴,引起区域麻山群发生麻粒岩相的变质作用、形成花岗质片麻岩;在早古生代晚期,佳木斯地块西缘的陆间洋最终闭合,形成具有壳源特征同碰撞花岗岩,之后的韧性变形作用可能为金矿床的形成提供了有利条件。     

When epitaxy controls garnet growth

Within a mica schist from the coesite-bearing Brossasco-Isasca Unit (Western Alps), microstructural analysis shows that Alpine garnet grains are aligned with the crenulated foliation. Garnet crystallographic orientation was analysed with electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD): the obtained crystallographic dispersion patterns and distribution patterns of misorientation axes suggest a strong parallelism of {110} garnet planes with a 56°W-dipping foliation. The data are interpreted as evidence for an epitaxial growth of garnet upon (001) biotite planes, sometime during and/or after dispersion of the biotite/garnet crystals from their initially foliation-parallel orientation by rotation about the Alpine crenulation axis. This interpretation is based on the comparison of the measured EBSD data with: (i) theoretical dispersion trajectories of garnet crystallographic data, (ii) numerically modelled pole figures, and (iii) numerically modelled misorientation axis distribution patterns. Our data suggest that epitaxial growth of garnet upon biotite is allowed by distortion of the pseudohexagonal basal oxygen ring structure on (001) biotite surfaces, and that distortion is driven by introduction of missing ions. Our data further suggest that the spatial distribution of precursor phases influences the distribution patterns of garnet within mica schists.     

The microarea composition of garnet and biotite from the Ji’an Group in Tonghua district and its significance as an indicator of metamorphicP-T-t path

The garnet (Grt) and biotite (Bt) from gneisses of the Ji’an Group are characterized by diffusion zoning at the rim, but equilibrium composition of metamorphic peak is usually remained in extensive interior area. Garnet with growth zoning is also found in the kyanite zone. In the light of microarea compositional variation of Grt and Bt, the temperature and pressure at the progressive, peak and post-peak metamorphic stages are determined by correctly using Grt-Bt thermometer and GASP barometer. On this basis, a counterclockwiseP-T-t path can be constructed, which reflects the closing process of an ensialic rift belt in this region during the Early Proterozoic. The project was financially supported by the State Educational Commission Ph. D. Station Foundation (No. 96018702).     

安徽繁昌-铜陵中生代侵入岩的黑云母特征和成因探讨

安徽繁昌—铜陵地区属于长江中下游铁、铜、钼、金成矿带的一部分,中生代侵入岩中广泛发育黑云母。选取该区有代表性的3个岩体———板石岭黑云母石英二长岩、凤凰山花岗闪长岩、沙滩脚花岗闪长岩的黑云母单矿物样品,对其进行了电子探针成分分析I、-CP稀土元素成分分析、穆斯鲍尔谱特征分析研究。本区黑云母以三八面体类型为主,属镁质黑云母,黑云母的镁质率为0.62~0.71,表明岩体属于深源系列;铜陵2个岩体黑云母的SiO2、TiO2、Na2O含量较繁昌板石岭黑云母石英二长岩的要低,而TFeO较高。穆斯鲍尔谱表明黑云母的Fe3 /(Fe2 Fe3 )值为0.346~0.385,计算得到凤凰山花岗闪长岩的氧逸度f(O2)值为10-5.5Pa;黑云母的氧化物成分和稀土元素成分表明3个侵入体均属壳-幔混源型,但铜陵两个形成时代较早的花岗闪长岩体的幔源岩浆成分要明显多于形成时代较晚的繁昌岩体的。     

Whole-rock, Phosphate, and Silicate Compositional Trends across an Amphibolite- to Granulite-facies Transition, Tamil Nadu, India

Chemical trends from north (amphibolite facies) to south (granulitefacies) along a 95 km traverse in Tamil Nadu, Southern India,include: whole-rock depletion of Rb, Cs, Th and U, enrichmentin Ti and F, and depletion in Fe and Mn in biotite and amphibole;increases in Al and decreases in Mn in orthopyroxene; enrichmentof fluorapatite in F. K-feldspar blebs are widespread alongquartz–plagioclase grain boundaries, and could indicateeither partial melting or metasomatism. In the northernmostportion of the traverse the principal rare earth element (REE)-bearingminerals are allanite and titanite. South of a clinopyroxeneisograd, monazite grains independent of fluorapatite are themajor REE- and Th-bearing phase. Further south independent monaziteis rare but Th-free monazite inclusions are common in fluorapatite.During prograde metamorphism, independent monazite was replacedby REE-rich fluorapatite in which the monazite inclusions laterformed. The loss of independent monazite was accompanied bya loss of whole-rock Th and possibly a small depletion in lightREE. Most mineralogical features along the traverse can be accountedfor by progressive dehydration and oxidation reactions. Trace-elementdepletion is best explained by the action of an externally derivedlow H₂O activity brine migrating from a source at greater depth,possibly preceded or accompanied by partial melting.
