Abstract: | Trachytes from the Euganean Hills District (Italy) contain metapeliticxenoliths that have been pyrometamorphosed during incorporationin the melt. In xenoliths containing sillimanite crystallizedduring a previous regional HT/LP metamorphism, fibrolite systematicallynucleates at the grain boundaries of sillimanite prisms andwithin plagioclase crystals. Ternary feldspar thermometry showsthat plagioclase in contact with sillimanite plots along the750°C solvus that reflects near-equilibrium conditions ofregional metamorphism. Plagioclase containing fibrolite plotscloser towards the 950°C solvus, reflecting the tendencyof plagioclase to re-equilibrate at high temperature duringpyrometamorphism by a fibrolite-forming reaction: |
