Highly magnesian ( X Mg = 0.90–0.98), poikiloblastic tourmaline occurs in a sulfate-rich, anhydrite– gypsum-bearing meta-evaporite in the Arignac Gypsum Mine, France and preserves a petrologic record of this unusual geochemical environment. Originally a Triassic evaporite deposit, the sample is interpreted to have undergone high-temperature–low-pressure (HT–LP) metamorphism and subsequently experienced low-grade, highly deformed overprints. Poikiloblastic tourmaline preserves relicts of the HT–LP mineral assemblage, as inclusions of anhydrite, phlogopite, dolomite, tremolite, Cl-rich scapolite (71–85 % marialite component), rutile, zircon, and fluor-apatite. The low-grade deformational overprints are characterized by partial replacement of anhydrite by gypsum, phlogopite by clinochlore, dolomite by talc, and scapolite by mixtures of near end-member albite and K-feldspar with later crosscutting calcite and celestite.

Kurt, Kürşad Asan, Matthew Leybourne","doi":"10.3190/jgeosci.343","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.3190/jgeosci.343","url":null,"abstract":"The Plio–Quaternary post-collisional volcanism in the Karapınar area is represented by two occurrences: (1) Karacadağ Volcanic Complex (KCVC) and (2) Karapınar Volcanic Field (KPVF). The investigated volcanic units are the southwes - tern part of the Neogene to Quaternary Cappadocia Volcanic Province (CVP) in Central Anatolia. The CVP generally displays calc–alkaline affinity in the Late Miocene to Pliocene rocks, but both calc-alkaline and sodic alkaline affinity in the Plio–Quaternary rocks, all of which have an orogenic geochemical signature. Such a volcanic activity contradicts the Western and Eastern Anatolian volcanism characterized by anorogenic OIB-like sodic alkaline volcanic rocks postdating early orogenic calc–alkaline ones. We hypothesize that such temporal and geochemical variations in the investigated rocks result from crustal contamination and present major and trace element chemistry and Sr–Nd–Pb–O isotope geochemistry, coupled with 40 Ar/ 39 Ar geochronology data to restrict the genesis and evolution of the rocks. The Neogene Karacadağ volcanic rocks are represented by lava flows, domes and their pyroclastic equivalents constituting a stratovolcano, and dated by new 40 Ar/ 39 Ar ages of 5.65 to 5.43 Ma. They are mainly composed of andesitic, rarely basaltic, dacitic and trachytic rocks and have a calc–alkaline character. Constituting a monogenetic volcanic field, the Quaternary Karapınar volcanic rocks are typically formed by cinder cones, maars and associated lavas, including xenoliths and xenocrysts plucked from the Karacadağ rocks. They comprise basaltic to andesitic rocks with a transitional affinity, from sodic alkaline to calc–alkaline. Both the Karacadağ and Karapınar volcanic rocks display incompatible trace element patterns rather characteristic for orogenic volcanic rocks. The Sr, Nd and Pb isotopic systematics of both units show a relatively narrow range, but their δ 18 O values are markedly different. The Karacadag volcanic rocks have δ 18 O values ranging from 7.5 to 8.9 ‰, resembling those of subduction-related basalts, but the Karapınar volcanics have δ 18 O ratios between 5.7 and 6.5 ‰ corresponding to OIB-like rocks. Additionally, δ 18 O values and 87 Sr/ 86 Sr ratios correlate positively with SiO 2 in the rocks, indicating that contamination played an important role during differentiation processes. All the data obtained suggest that the Karacadağ basaltic rocks stemmed from a subduction-modified lithospheric mantle source. On the other hand, the origin of the Karapınar basaltic rocks can be explained in terms of OIB-like melts contaminated with the Karacadağ volcanic rocks to gain orogenic geochemical signature, which may be an alternative model for the origin of the CVP sodic alkali basalts.","PeriodicalId":15957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-05-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49058714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data suggest significant variations in a TiO 2 during vein quartz formation, due to variation of P, T and growth rate. Negative correlation between a TiO 2 and quartz formation temperature was documented for intrusion-related gold deposits, implying quartz precipitation under closed-system conditions (i.e., without substantial equilibration of the ascending fluid with surrounding rocks).
