Transformation of Chromium Spinel and Garnet: Evidence of CCSD-PP3 Ultramafic Rocks Processed UHP Metamorphism

  • The ultramafic rocks in the CCSD-PP3 (China Continental Scientific Drilling) drill-hole consist of dunite and garnet peridotite with a gradual margin between them. The main minerals in the rocks are olivine,chromium spinel,diopside,endiopside,and/or garnet,orthopyroxene,amphibole and phlogopite. Chromium spinels in PP3 ultramafic rocks can be divided into 4 groups with a varied composition,Cr# (molar 100Cr/(Cr+Mg)) from 51 to 89,which consists of four evolution stages of the ultramafic rocks. The 4 stages are partial melting,eclogite facies,amphibole facies and greenschist facies. When the Cr# of chrome spinels increases,the Mg# (molar 100Mg/(Mg+Fe 2+)) of chromium spinels decreases,but oxygen fugacity rises. Compositions of the chromium spinels reflect that the rocks originating from the shallow mantle have subducted to a depth of over 100 km and have then been exhumed to the surface. During the subsequent greenschist-facies and amphibole- facies metamorphism,the chromium spinels lost some Cr,Mg and Al,but gained relatively more Fe.
