Metamorphic Reactions Reading: Winter Chapter 26

Univariant Reaction Lines The grid define stability limits –End-member minerals –Mineral assemblages More thermodynamic data is needed to construct a useful grid

Isograds Mark the intersection of the ground with a Univariant reaction curve Example: cordierite reaction to Mg-Fe garnet defines the garnet isograd

Problems with Isograds Most rocks have complex compositions, (Mg,Fe) or (Na,Ca) substitutions Many reactions are at least divariant Even isograds in simple rocks are “smeared”

Coupled Reactions Involve several minerals Appearance or disappearance of key minerals – Depends on rock compositions Presence or absence of quartz is a factor

Stability of Muscovite With quartz Mus decomposes at a lower T Muscovite + Quartz = K-spar + Corundum + water KAl 2 AlSi 3 O 10 (OH) 2 + SiO 2 = KAlSi 3 O 8 + Al 2 O 3 + H 2 O Without quartz Mus decomposes at a higher T Muscovite = K-spar + Sillimanite + water KAl 2 AlSi 3 O 10 (OH) 2 = KAlSi 3 O 8 + Al 2 SiO 5 + H 2 O

Reactions in Rocks More complicated than in theory Generally the conditions of metamorphism can be estimated

Regional Pelitic Rocks

Biotite Zone Under medium P-T the following reaction occurs at ° Chl + Kfs = Bt + Ms ( + Qtz + H 2 O) K-spar is generally consumed before all chlorite is consumed, thus it persists

Chloritoid Chloritoid introduction may occur at T > 250º Chl + Prl = Cld ( + Qtz + H 2 O) Chloritoid goes out at T = 590° Cld = Grt + St (+Qtz +H 2 O)

Garnet Zone In Fe-rich rocks at ~ 525° Fe-Chl (+ Qtz) = Alm (+ H 2 O) Under medium P-T in normal pelites the reaction occurs at ~ 610° Chl (+Ms + Qtz) = Grt + Bt (+ H 2 O)

Staurolite zone Under medium P-T may appear at 570° Cld + Ky = St + Chl (+Qtz +H 2 O) An alternate reaction occurs at 610° Grt + Chl = St + Bt (+Qtz +H 2 O) Staurolite goes out at ~700° St (+Ms +Qtz) = Grt +Bt +Als +H 2 O

Kyanite Zone Under medium P-T at ~630° St + Chl (+Ms +Qtz) = Ky + Bt (+H 2 O) This reaction is considered the transition to the granulite facies in pelitic rocks

Sillimanite Zone A polymorphic transformation occurs at ~ 690° Ky = Sil Sillimanite nucleates as tiny needles on micas Muscovite goes out at ~ 790° Ms + Qtz = Kfs + Sil + H 2 O Cordierite appears at higher temperatures Phl + Sil (+Qtz) = Mg-Cdr (+Kfs + H 2 O)

Melting of Pelites Assume all the water is due to metamorphic dehydration reactions Muscovite decomposition causes melting, provided the pressure is high enough to retain the water Ms + Ab + Qtz = Al 2 SiO 5 + Kfs + liquid

Migmatites Dehydrated rocks become granulites Some high-grade rocks appear “mixed” –Dark schistose layers (melanosome) alternate with –Light-colored igneous-looking layers (leucosome) The leucosome has a tonalite composition –(Not that of a minimum melt!) They represent high-grade metamorphic rocks in which melting is important

Metasomatism Model Obvious in rocks with contrasting mineral layers Related to unequal partitioning of elements between solid phases and fluids Model uses ion-exchange reactions

Potassium Migration K + is concentrated relative to Na + in chloride fluids In fractured rock under a T gradient K + moves toward higher temperature regions K-spar is replaced by Na-spar in low temperature regions This could explain large K-spar megacrysts

Amphibolite Facies Metasomatism Alternating sedimentary layers with more and less calcite Leads to slightly different plagioclase composition in metamorphic bands Ion exchange produces plagioclase and K-spar bands
