摘要: 微米-纳米尺度显微超显微研究表明, 木兰山蓝片岩中存在微米级粒间文石和亚微米级文石包裹体, 它们是木兰山蓝片岩快速折返动力学机制的证据.并指出木兰山蓝片岩区硬柱石和绿纤石等Ca-Al硅酸盐矿物的缺失与本区变质流体中CO2浓度较高和(或) 岩石中含方解石/文石有关.Abstract: The aragonite, an index mineral of glaucophane schist facies, has not been confirmed in the Dabie Mountains high-pressure and ultrahigh-pressure metamorphic belts. The Mulanshan glaucophane schist in Huangpi County, Hubei Province, is located in the southwestern Dabie mountains, central China. The micro-sized inter-granular aragonite is confirmed with optical microscope (OM) and electron probe microanalysis (EPMA) in the glaucophane schist. The submicrometer-sized ellipse aragonite inclusion is observed by using bright-field image (BFI), X-ray energy-damage spectrograph (EDS), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) with transmission electron microscope in the quartz lens of glaucophane-albite-epidote-chlorite schist from the Mulanshan. The presence of aragonite indicates not only the average geothermal gradient of the Mulanshan glaucophane schist less than 10 ℃/km, which is very close to that of eclogite in the Dabie Mountain metamorphic belts, but also the relatively higher concentration of CO2 during the metamorphic process. In addition, the glaucophane schist free of such index minerals as lawsonite, prehnite, and pumpellyite, has been attributed to the effect of CO2 on the stability of calcium aluminum silicate minerals during the low-grade metamorphism. EDS and SAED analysis results show that the host of aragonite inclusion is amorphous SiO 2. The occurrence of amorphous SiO 2 indicates a quick cooling process during the exhumation of the Mulanshan glaucophane schist. These results suggest that the rapid exhumation mechanism of the glaucophane schist, the same as that of eclogite in the Dabie Mountain metamorphic belts, occurred in the geodynamic context of subduction-obduction.
