A pelitic gneiss from Balchenfjella, eastern SRM, contains mesoperthite that gave UHT condition (>900 °C) by ternary feldspar thermometry. The UHT mesoperthite is present both in the matrix and as an inclusion in garnet. The garnet also has nanogranitoid inclusions next to the mesoperthite, which are interpreted to be an UHT melt. The re – integrated nanogranitoid composition is plotted in the primary phase region of quartz and classi fi ed as granite. Even crystallized nanogranitoids can provide appropriate original melt composition in the An – Ab – Or and Qz – Ab – Or spaces, whereas Mg concentration is enriched due to local retrograde Fe – Mg exchange reaction between the nanogranitoid inclusions and the host garnet. Although metamorphic rocks in the SRM are highly retrogressed, this study revealed that the micro-structural evidence of UHT condition is partially preserved. Further investigation of timing and areal extent of UHT metamorphism helps us to understand the tectonic model of the SRM.","PeriodicalId":51093,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68832699","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}

We performed petrological studies of eclogites collected from a garnet peridotite block from Nové Dvory in the Gföhl Unit of the Moldanubian Zone in the Variscan orogenic belt, Czech Republic. The eclogite was divided into three types: one kyanite (Ky) – bearing and two Ky – free types. Garnet and omphacite in the Ky – bearing eclogite have lower Fe contents than those in the Ky – free eclogite. Furthermore, the Ky – free eclogite was divided into two types on the basis of Ca content in garnet: Ca – rich ( X grs > 0.32) and Ca – poor ( X grs < 0.32) types, except for Ca – poor rim compositions. Application of conventional geothermobarometers to the Ky – bearing type and the Ky – free type with Ca – rich garnet yielded similar pressure – temperature ( P – T ) conditions (3.2 – 4.8 GPa and 920 – 1160 °C) to those of previous studies, whereas the Ky – free type with Ca – poor garnet yielded slightly lower P – T conditions (3.1 – 3.4 GPa and 950 – 990 °C) than the other two types. The observed chemical variation of garnet is probably due to the di ff erence in origins, whereby, according to our new results and previous fi ndings, the Ky – bearing eclogite was derived from plagioclase – bearing crustal gabbro, whereas the Ky – free eclogite with Ca – rich garnet was derived from a crystal cumulate possibly in the mantle wedge. In the Ky – free eclogite samples with Ca – poor garnet, chemical compositions of garnet and omphacite are di ff erent from those in the other Ky – free samples, and those samples with Ca – poor garnet would have a di ff erent origin from the others. One of the Ky – free type with Ca – poor garnet retains garnet grains with chemical zonings probably created during the prograde history, although the eclogite underwent the extremely high temperature (~ 1000 °C) metamorphism. Calculated di ff usion distances in garnet reach 0.5 mm during 2 million years, even if we adopted a low value of di ff usion coe ffi cient data. Thus, the residence time of the eclogite at the peak meatamorphic conditions would have been shorter than at least 2 million years. The subsequent decompression and cooling after the peak metamorphism were also probably very fast to avoid the chemical homogenization of garnet.","PeriodicalId":51093,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68832236","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}

The HVG is located near the boundary between the Ryoke and Sangun belts, suggesting that the HVG and associated crustal xenoliths may provide insights into the subsurface distribution of the Ryoke and Sangun belts in Kyushu. This study focuses on xenoliths obtained from the coastal boulders near the Kane Lava of the HVG. The HVG xenoliths consist of gabbro, gabbroic diorite, amphibolite, gneiss, basaltic andesite, and tu ff aceous sandstone, with the latter two types resembling those found in the basement rocks of the HVG. The gabbroic xenoliths are geochemically similar to gabbros in the Ryoke belt. The U – Pb dating for zircon in the gneiss xenoliths yielded a metamorphic age of ~ 111 Ma with Th/U values <0.1, similar to the age obtained for metamorphic rocks in or of the Ryoke belt. The new data presented in this study indicate that the xenoliths in the HVG were derived from basement units associated with the Ryoke belt, which in turn, means that the HVG is tectonically underlain by the Ryoke belt. This also suggests that the Ryoke belt extends further north in Kyushu than was previously considered, as implied by the presence of this belt directly below the HVG.","PeriodicalId":51093,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Mineralogical and Petrological Sciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68832093","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}

Deep – UV micro – Raman spectroscopy is particularly useful in analyzing the fl uorescence – free Raman spectra of dispersed low – maturity carbonaceous material and coal, although deep – UV excitation lasers may cause serious degradation and laser – induced heating of the sample surface, especially in microanalysis. The laser – induced damage threshold for fully ordered graphite and coal (VR r = ~ 0.5%) was assessed to facilitate the acquisition of accurate Raman spectra with a spot size of ~ 1 µm. For fully ordered graphite, there was no serious degradation of the sample surface with an energy fl uence of 0.10 – 2.50 J cm − 2 . Some sample surfaces became black at higher fl uences of 1.96 – 2.50 J cm − 2 , suggesting irreversible damage by deep – UV lasers. The Raman shift of the G band after measurement involves a downshift of 1.7 – 7.4 cm − 1 relative to other spectra obtained at low laser fl uences of <0.34 J cm − 2 . The G band full width at half maximum (FWHM) also increased with increasing laser fl uence. Serious degradation of polished coal surfaces occurs at even lower laser fl uences of 0.34 – 2.50 J cm − 2 . The degree of change in Raman parameters such as the D and G band FWHM depends on the laser fl uence during measurements. Heating and damage by a deep – UV laser is greater than that by visible lasers.
