Metamorphic evolution of high-pressure Quartz Schists in the Chadegan metamorphic complex, Sanandaj-Sirjan zone, Iran
The Chadegan metamorphic complex is a WNW-ESE- trending antiformal structure located in Sanandaj-Sirjan structural zone, Iran.The inner core of the structure is made of orthogneiss, containing eclogitic lenses. Schists and marbles lie structurally above theorthogneiss and crop out in the external limbs of the antiformal dome. Two main deformational episodes have been documented in theschists an...
متن کاملThe lateral boundary of a metamorphic core complex: The Moutsounas shear zone on Naxos, Cyclades, Greece☆
We describe the structure, microstructures, texture and paleopiezometry of quartz-rich phyllites and marbles along N-trending Moutsounas shear zone at the eastern margin of the Naxos metamorphic core complex (MCC). Fabrics consistently indicate a top-to-the-NNE non-coaxial shear and formed during the main stage of updoming and exhumation between ca. 14 and 11 Ma of the Naxos MCC. The main stage...
متن کاملThe Meatiq dome (Eastern Desert, Egypt) a Precambrian metamorphic core complex: petrological and geological evidence
The Meatiq basement, which is exposed beneath late Proterozoic nappes of supracrustal rocks in the Central Eastern Desert of Egypt, was affected by three metamorphic events. The ophiolite cover nappes show only the last metamorphic overprint. The M1 metamorphic event (T≥750 °C) is restricted to migmatized amphibolite xenoliths within the Um Ba∞anib orthogneiss in the structurally lowest parts o...
متن کاملFormation of metamorphic core complex in inherited wedges: A thermomechanical modelling study
Metamorphic Core Complexes (MCCs) form when a thickened domain with a low-strength lower crust is submitted to extension. These structures are characteristic of post-orogenic extension, and field observations suggest that several MCCs rework a crustal nappe-stack emplaced before extension begins. These MCCs therefore develop within heterogeneous crusts that contain pre-existing dipping heteroge...
متن کاملFast Cooling and Exhumation of the Valhalla Metamorphic Core Complex, Southeastern British Columbia
High-grade, migmatitic paragneisses (820°C, 8 kbar peak conditions) of the Valhalla metamorphic core complex experienced the retrograde net transfer reaction (ReNTR): garnet + melt + K-feldspar = sillimanite + biotite + plagioclase during cooling and crystallization of the melt, resulting in an increase in the Fe/(Fe + Mg) of both garnet and biotite at their margins. Diffusion profiles generate...
