Fluid Characteristics of Late Paleozoic Ultrahigh-Temperature Granulites from the Altay Orogenic Belt, Northwestern China and Its Significance
详细信息   
摘要


     The Late Paleozoic ultrahigh-temperature UHT granulite from the Altay orogenic belt, northwestern China contains UHT diagnostic mineral assemblages of spinel quartz and orthopyroxene sillimanite quartz. Its retrograde metamorphism is characterized by the formation of cordierite through typical decompression reaction. Newly discovered primary and pseudosecondary fluid inclusions in garnet together with primary fluid inclusions in quartz were studied in terms of petrography and microthermometry as well as laser Raman spectroscopy analyses in detail. Melting temperatures of inclusions obtained indicated that the trapped fluid phase is dominantly carbonic. Raman probe confirmed a near pure CO2 composition with only minor dilutant of N2. The homogenized temperatures of fluid inclusions both from the quartz in matrix and enclosed in garnet porphyroblasts range from 10. 1 to 29. 0with the corresponding densities of 0. 631 0. 861g/cm^3. The distance values of Fermi doublet from the pseudosecondary and secondary fluid inclusions trapped in garnets are around 104. lcm^-1 , smaller than those from quartz 104. 7cm^-1 , indicating the lower density nature of the fluids in garnets. The range of CO2 isochores computed from density measurements in fluid inclusions passed below the retrograde stage of the P-T trajectory. We inferred that the Altay UHT granulite probably formed in an extensional setting, with the underplating of mantle-derived magma, which provided not only heat, but also sufficient CO2 to dilute the H2O activity. The consistent low-density carbonic fluids are probably a reflection of significant density reversal owing to modification of inclusion cavity volume by rapid decompression of the Ahay UHT granufite along a clockwise P-T path.
