The analysis of the structural continuity across the composition plane does not show any reason for a large difference in occurrence frequency, which is likely related to the limited development of the (0003) plane in the characteristic morphology of corundum. “Basal twins” occur with unusually high frequency in samples from Greenland, which also present an atypical platy morphology, where the (0003) face is well developed. This observation seems to confirm a morphological control on the occurrence of the “basal twin”. All analysed twinned samples show macrosteps on their pinacoidal faces and this feature has been related to the high-temperature conditions and intense fluid-rock interactions of Greenland deposit. This clearly suggests a strong relationship between the “basal twin” occurrence, the development of basal faces, and the formation conditions. However, due to the complex geological context and the different features of samples (e.g. two individuals with almost the same size versus several lamellae stacked along <i>c</i> axis), it is not possible to establish with certitude if the “basal twins” observed in Greenland samples are growth or mechanical twins.</p>","PeriodicalId":18547,"journal":{"name":"Mineralogy and Petrology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141197202","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}

In this study, we conducted a combined analysis of the petrography, mineral chemistry, geochemistry, and zircon U–Pb dating and Lu–Hf isotopic compositions of the Niujiaoshan Early Paleozoic rapakivi-textured granite from the North Qinling Belt. Zircon U–Pb dating yielded a crystallization age of 447 ± 7 Ma, which is younger than the ultra-high-pressure (UHP) metamorphic age (~ 500 Ma) but similar to the granulite facies retrograde age (~ 450 Ma) of UHP eclogites and felsic gneisses in the North Qinling Belt. The rapakivi feldspar phenocrysts have ovoid K-feldspar cores, which are rich in mineral inclusions, such as amphibole, biotite, quartz, and plagioclase, indicating early crystallization. The ovoid K-feldspar cores are mantled by oligoclase, whreras the matrix comprises biotite, amphibole, and coarse-grained plagioclase. The amphibole and biotite in the granite are rich in Mg and are indicative of a crust–mantle origin.

The lava flow is an alkaline basalt with abundant macrocrysts of clinopyroxene, kaersutite, Ca-rich plagioclase (50-86% An) and ilmenite, which display a variety of textures and complex zoning patterns indicative of open-system magmatic behaviour. Macrocryst cores are likely to be inherited antecrysts that underwent complex processes under deep pre-eruptive conditions (≈ 700-800 MPa). Microcrysts and macrocryst rims formed during magmatic ascent and emplacement at shallower levels (≈ 35 MPa). Hypothetical melts in equilibrium with clinopyroxenes and amphiboles have trace element compositions like metasomatic vein melts containing amphibole, and their patterns overlap with those of the Armintza pillow lava. This suggests a metasomatised lithospheric mantle with amphibole-rich veins as a potential source for the alkaline basaltic melt. It is even conceivable that the Armintza pillow lava and other alkaline volcanic manifestations of the Basque-Cantabrian Basin were part of the same magma plumbing system through which a series of time-limited eruptions of different batches of magma ascended from the lithospheric mantle to the upper crust during the Albian to the Santonian.</p>","PeriodicalId":18547,"journal":{"name":"Mineralogy and Petrology","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140938361","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}

While it is logically likely, there is no any previous attempt to argue for the elevation of oxygen isotopes of hydrothermally altered rocks and/or minerals by a light water depleted in ¹⁸O under appropriate natural conditions. Based on a novel procedure recently proposed for dealing with thermodynamic reequilibration of oxygen isotopes between constituent minerals and water, the initial oxygen isotopes of water (i.e., <span>(delta {^{18}{text{O}}}_{text{W}}^{text{i}})</span> value hereafter) prior to the hydrothermal alteration are theoretically inverted from the early Cretaceous postcollisional granitoid and Triassic gneissic country rock across the Dabie orogen in central-eastern China. The oxygen isotopes of hydrothermally altered rock-forming minerals were concurrently elevated by the magmatic water with moderate to high <span>({delta ^{18}{text{O}}}_{text{W}}^{text{i}})</span> values ranging from 4.21 ± 0.04 (one standard deviation, 1SD) to 6.57 ± 0.05‰ in the course of postmagmatic processes. By contrast, oxygen isotopes of the susceptible alkali feldspar from a gneissic country rock could be preferentially elevated by the ancient meteoric water with low <span>(delta {^{18}{text{O}}}_{text{W}}^{text{i}})</span> values down to -8.52 ± 0.56‰ during exhumation processes of the retrograde metamorphism. These fossil hydrothermal systems could kinetically sustain from a short duration of less than 12 thousand years (Kyr) via the surface-reaction oxygen exchange up to 1 million years (Myr) through the diffusive oxygen exchange, respectively, in this study. Cooling rates are further quantified for rock-forming minerals sequentially blocked and/or isolated from the magmatic water. Hereby, oxygen isotopes of constituent minerals can be hydrothermally elevated by diverse sources of water with paradoxical <span>(delta {^{18}{text{O}}}_{text{W}}^{text{i}})</span> values, especially for the metamorphic rocks with anomalous oxygen isotopes.

Lithologically, the TGC constitutes a combination of pink and grey granitic gneiss assemblages, characterised by biotite-rich, hornblende-biotite-rich, and muscovite-biotite-rich granite gneiss. Compositionally, the TGC granitoids represent tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite to granite, and have calc-alkaline lineage with metaluminous to peraluminous characteristics. Geochemically, they dominantly belong to A2-type granitoids. Chondrite normalised REE ratios of La/Sm, La/Yb, La/Gd, and Gd/Yb indicate diverse LREE/HREE enrichment. Multi-element patterns for the TGC granitoids are characterised by light rare earth elements (LREE) and large ion lithophile elements (LILE) enrichment and depletion of high field strength elements (HFSE: Nb, P, and Ti) and strong positive Pb and Th anomalies. The observed negative anomalies for HFSE are attributed to diverse crustal/lithospheric sources, with some influence from K-feldspar, plagioclase and Ti-oxide fractionation. Sm–Nd data presents initial ¹⁴³Nd/¹⁴⁴Nd (t = 1.7 Ga) ratios (0.509898 to 0.510508), and ε_Nd (t = 1.7 Ga) is (+ 0.58 to -10.59), with T_DM model ages ranging from 2.11 to 2.95 Ga. Such a wide range of ε_Nd (t = 1.7 Ga), indicates heterogeneous crustal/lithosphere sources, which have probably experienced longer crustal residence times.
