  • Jadeite quartzite is a rare and fluid-related metamorphic rock, usually occurring as tectonic blocks of high-pressure (HP) to ultrahigh-pressure (UHP) metamorphic zones in continental and oceanic subduction zone.A combined study of whole-rock geochemistry, Mg and O isotopes, zircon U-Pb ages and trace elements was carried out for coesite-bearing jadeite quartzites from the Dabie orogen. The results indicate that the Middle Paleoproterozoic protolith of jadeite quartzites was weathered to a kind of sedimentary rocks in a passive continental margin and then underwent significant metasomatism by metamorphic fluids with high δ26Mg values during the continental subduction in the Triassic. The metamorphic fluids were produced by the breakdown of biotite in the metasedimentary rocks. The regional occurrence of jadeite quartzites over an exposure area of about 50 km2 indicates that the metamorphic fluids would have flowed on a large scale in the continental subduction channel. Such widespread fluid flow is evident in the continental subduction zone, with the metamorphic fluids would have flowed on a large scale at the slab-mantle interface in the continental subduction channel.
