A Sequence of Pan-African and Hercynian Events Recorded in Zircons from an Orthogneiss from the Hercynian Belt of Western Central Iberia--an Ion Microprobe U-Pb Study

Sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe U–Pb dating showsthat a biotite orthogneiss from the Hercynian belt of westerncentral Iberia contains 1000–300 Ma zircon. Older, 1000–570Ma ages within this range represent inherited, detrital materialamong which four age components may be recognized:     

Transformation of garnet epidote amphibolite to eclogite, western Dabie Mountains, China

Omphacite and garnet coronas around amphibole occur in amphibolites in the Hong'an area, western Dabie Mountains, China. These amphibolites consist of an epidote–amphibolite facies assemblage of amphibole, garnet, albite, clinozoisite, paragonite, ilmenite and quartz, which is incompletely overprinted by an eclogite facies assemblage of garnet, omphacite and rutile. Coronas around amphibole can be divided into three types: an omphacite corona; a garnet–omphacite–rutile corona; and, a garnet–omphacite corona with less rutile. Chemographic analysis for local reaction domains in combination with petrographical observations show that reactions Amp + Ab + Pg = Omp +Czo + Qtz + H₂O, and Amp + Ab = Omp ± Czo + Qtz + H₂O may lead to the development of omphacite coronas. The garnet–omphacite–rutile corona was formed from the reaction Amp + Ab + Czo + Ilm ± Qtz = Omp + Grt + Rt + H₂O. In garnet–omphacite coronas, the garnet corona grew during an early stage of epidote amphibolite facies metamorphism, whereas omphacite probably formed by the reactions forming the omphacite corona during the eclogite facies stage. It is estimated that these reactions occurred at 0.8–1.4 GPa and 480–610 °C using the garnet–clinopyroxene thermometer and omphacite barometer in the presence of albite.     

Grain coarsening in contact metamorphic carbonates: effects of second-phase particles, fluid flow and thermal perturbations

Under contact metamorphic conditions, carbonate rocks in the direct vicinity of the Adamello pluton reflect a temperature‐induced grain coarsening. Despite this large‐scale trend, a considerable grain size scatter occurs on the outcrop‐scale indicating local influence of second‐order effects such as thermal perturbations, fluid flow and second‐phase particles. Second‐phase particles, whose sizes range from nano‐ to the micron‐scale, induce the most pronounced data scatter resulting in grain sizes too small by up to a factor of 10, compared with theoretical grain growth in a pure system. Such values are restricted to relatively impure samples consisting of up to 10 vol.% micron‐scale second‐phase particles, or to samples containing a large number of nano‐scale particles. The obtained data set suggests that the second phases induce a temperature‐controlled reduction on calcite grain growth. The mean calcite grain size can therefore be expressed in the form D = C₂ e^Q*/RT(d_p/f_p)^m*, where C₂ is a constant, Q* is an activation energy, T the temperature and m* the exponent of the ratio d_p/f_p, i.e. of the average size of the second phases divided by their volume fraction. However, more data are needed to obtain reliable values for C₂ and Q*. Besides variations in the average grain size, the presence of second‐phase particles generates crystal size distribution (CSD) shapes characterized by lognormal distributions, which differ from the Gaussian‐type distributions of the pure samples. In contrast, fluid‐enhanced grain growth does not change the shape of the CSDs, but due to enhanced transport properties, the average grain sizes increase by a factor of 2 and the variance of the distribution increases. Stable δ¹⁸O and δ¹³C isotope ratios in fluid‐affected zones only deviate slightly from the host rock values, suggesting low fluid/rock ratios. Grain growth modelling indicates that the fluid‐induced grain size variations can develop within several ka. As inferred from a combination of thermal and grain growth modelling, dykes with widths of up to 1 m have only a restricted influence on grain size deviations smaller than a factor of 1.1. To summarize, considerable grain size variations of up to one order of magnitude can locally result from second‐order effects. Such effects require special attention when comparing experimentally derived grain growth kinetics with field studies.

鲁东南岚山头含柯石英榴辉岩主要产于花岗质片麻岩内,是苏鲁超高压变质带主要榴辉岩体密集分布区之一。流体包裹体研究表明,榴辉岩矿物及细脉石英中捕获有四种类型包裹体:在超高压-高压榴辉岩相条件下捕获的 N_2±CO_2包裹体;在高压榴辉宕重结晶阶段被捕获的 CO_2-H_2O 包裹体和含子矿物高盐度 H_2O 溶液包裹体:在超高压岩石折返过程中的最晚(角闪岩相退变质甚至更晚)阶段捕获的低盐度 H_2O 溶液包裹体。利用榴辉岩矿物及脉体石英中捕获的流体包裹体相互期次关系,可以对本区超高压变质作用板片折返过程中的流体演化史进行重建。     

内蒙古大青山-乌拉山地区孔兹岩系的早期变质地层结构——下地壳近水平顺层滑脱变形的产物

近年来孔兹岩系作为高级变质岩区一套特征性的变质沉积岩石组合而受到广泛关注，但其变质地层结构及其相关的构造作用和构造样式还不为人所了解。通过对内蒙古大青山一乌拉山地区以孔兹岩系发育为特征的高级变质杂岩的研究发现，区内孔兹岩系自下而上由3个岩石地层单位组成：榴云片麻岩岩组、透辉片麻岩岩组和大理岩岩组，表现出由细碎屑沉积-碎屑沉积和钙质化学沉积的混合物-镁质碳酸盐组成的沉积旋回。这些变质地层不仅遭受到具有近等温降压顺时针P-T演化特征的麻粒岩相变质作用的改造，同时，还遭受到近水平顺层滑脱变形构造、穹-褶构造和近东西向陡倾叶理带这三种构造形式为主的多期变形的改造。由此，这些变质地层在空间上多以不规则条带状、不规则团块状或透镜状形式出露，同时，各地层单位在空间上具有“犬牙交错，参差产出”，“岩层缺失，隔层相触”的特征。研究结果表明，区内孔兹岩系目前的产出状态及“犬牙交错，参差产出”的特征是穹-褶构造尤其是近东西向陡倾叶理带叠加改造的结果，在消除其改造的影响后可以确定，由于近水平顺层滑脱变形改造的结果，这些变质地层发生“岩层缺失，隔层相触”，在空间上表现为以近水平的长轴近东西向的扁豆体堆叠而成的早期变质地层结构，这是高级变质地层所特有的变质地层结构。

黔东南天柱-锦屏-黎平金成矿区,位于中国江南古陆变质碎屑岩型金矿成矿带的西端,采金历史悠久,但勘查研究程度不高,小型矿床点星罗棋布却未发现大型矿床。研究认为,黔东南金矿工业类型与韧性剪切带有关,主要为石英脉型和构造蚀变岩型,可能存在产状平缓的蚀变糜棱岩型;从成矿条件、成矿规律、成矿特征等方面分析,黔东南金矿勘查很有前景。     

东秦岭回龙湾强应变带及其地质意义

东秦岭二郎坪群和石界河群之间发现了一条强应变带（称之为回龙湾强应变带）,呈ＮＮＷ—ＳＳＥ向延伸,面理置换强烈,韧性剪切变形特征明显,糜棱岩发育。该强应变带的发现表明,二郎坪群和石界河群之间既非不整合接触,也不是整合接触,而是断层接触关系。结合原岩建造、沉积环境和变质作用特征,作者认为二郎坪群和石界河群之间并非简单的地层学上的上下关系,而是两个近乎同时异地的变质地质体。     

PRESSURE GRADIENT FROM THE CONTRIBUTION OF BOTH GEOTHERMAL AND GRAVITY IN THE LITHOSPHERE

1 Introduction The pressure, a scalar quantity, is defined as P = F/S (F is force, S is the area for F) which can be widely used for both solid and fluid. The formula P = g ρh (g-gravitation acceleration,ρ-density, h-depth) is only used for even density static solid and fluid. The delivery of pressure in the fluid follows the law of Pascal, and the average pressure of uneven density fluid can be calculated with the formula of P = g ρh. The temperature influence on pressure is notHU Ba…
