garnet (almandine-spessartine) growth zoning and its application to constrain metamorphic history in dehsalm complex, iran

چکیده

dehsalm metamorphic complex located in east of iran consists of regionally metamorphosed rocks intruded by three phases of granitic masses. synkinematic porphyroblasts of garnet from staurolite-garnet schist present well preserved growth zoning. electron microprobe analysis of selected garnets was carried out to interpret the origin and pattern of zoning in amphibolite facies garnets and its implication on tectonic history of the dehsalm metamorphic complex. qualitative and quantitative x-ray maps and rim-to-core profiles for mn, mg, and fe reveal concentric zoning with a well-preserved rim in garnet grains. gradual decrease in mn and increase in fe and mg from the core to the rim of the garnet porphyroblasts are indicative of continuous growth zoning and absence of retrograde diffusion in garnet. distributions of mg, fe and mn are concentric in garnet grains, while x-ray map for ca shows non concentric zoning with spherical and fan type distribution from core to rim. concentration of ca is not controlled by cracks and it more likely associated with the regions of crystal weakness. field observation and absence of zoning in contemporaneous staurolite next to zoned garnet suggest that prograde metamorphism occurred at a widely spaced isograds. the presence of fine concentric growth zoning in garnet porphyroblasts indicates that staurolite-garnet schist was formed under amphibolite facies condition and prior to their homogenization in higher amphibolite facies. the well-preserved garnet growth zoning is a sign that staurolite-garnet schists were rapidly cooled and later metamorphic phases had no effect on regional metamorphic schists in south west of the region.

Yttrium zoning in garnet: Coupling of major and accessory phases during metamorphic reactions

The concentration of yttrium in pelitic garnets as a function of metamorphic grade has been examined in relation to the distribution of xenotime (YPO4) in samples from New England and British Columbia. Samples with xenotime present only as inclusions in garnet generally possess high-Y cores and concentrations that drop off discontinuously along zoning shoulders of variable width to low-Y outboa...

like any other learning activity, translation is a problem solving activity which involves executing parallel cognitive processes. the ability to think about these higher processes, plan, organize, monitor and evaluate the most influential executive cognitive processes is what flavell (1975) called “metacognition” which encompasses raising awareness of mental processes as well as using effectiv...

Garnet-Biotite Chemistry for Thermometry of Staurolite Schist from South of Mashhad, NE Iran

Mashhad Metamorphic Complex (MMC) with metamorphic, granitic intrusions and ophiolite units is situated in the suture zone of Paleotethys in NE Iran. Triassic staurolite-garnet schist of Khalaj represents the highest grade of metamorphism in MMC. In this study EPMA analyses of garnet and biotite used to determine the maximum temperature for regional metamorphism. The pattern of zoning in garnet...

Mineralogy and geothermo-barometry of metapelitic schists, amphibolites and garnet amphibolites from Gol-Gohar metamorphic complex, SW Sirjan, Central Iran.

The Gol-Gohar metamorphic complex, a part of east Sanandaj-Sirjan zone, is located 55 km southwest of Sirjan. This complex consists of metapelitic, metapsammitic and metacarbonatic rocks. Field and geochemical evidence indicate that these sedimentary protolith sequences were composed of shale and sandstone alternation with carbonate layers in the upper parts. In the studied metapelites, garnets...
