摘要
石榴石可能是终极岩石计时器。你不仅可以直接确定它的年代(其准确度和精度可能会让一些人感到惊讶),而且它也是一种常见的岩石形成和卟啉形成矿物,具有广泛的(但热力学上很好理解的)固溶体,可以提供直接和定量的岩石学背景。副相岩石年代学主要建立在与关键的岩石形成压力-温度-组成(P-T-X)指标的生长或破裂建立联系的基础上(例如,Rubatto 2002;Williams et al. 2007),石榴石是这些关键指示矿物之一。石榴石出现在各种各样的岩石类型中(见Baxter et al. 2013),并且经常被分带(在结构上,化学上),这意味着它不仅仅包含变质条件的快照,而是在其经常延长的生长过程中演化的构造变质条件的半连续历史。通过这种方式,石榴石及其生长带被比作树木年代学:石榴石作为不断演变的构造变质条件的树木年轮(例如,Pollington和Baxter 2010)。在某种程度上,“岩石年代学”的梦想始于石榴石(图1)。当Atherton和Edmunds(1965)或Hollister(1966)认识到石榴石中的化学分带,当Rosenfeld(1968)注意到旋转石榴石中包裹体的螺旋“雪球”,或者当Tracy等人(1976)绘制了第一张石榴石化学分带的二维地图,第一次阐明了那些“树轮”时,他们只能想象几十年后的现实——那些同心圆生长环的直接带状石榴石地质年代学。此后不久,地球科学家尝试了第一个石榴石地质年表(van Breemen and Hawkesworth 1980),尽管从那时起,几个因素严重限制了石榴石地质年表的发展和广泛使用。这些因素包括:1)微量矿物包裹体对石榴石的污染;2)小样本量的分析限制;3)在等时线上锚定石榴石年龄分析的要求;
Garnet could be the ultimate petrochronometer. Not only can you date it directly (with an accuracy and precision that may surprise some), but it is also a common rock-forming and porphyroblast-forming mineral, with wide ranging—yet thermodynamically well understood—solid solution that provides direct and quantitative petrologic context. While accessory phase petrochronology is based largely upon establishing links to the growth or breakdown of key rock-forming pressure–temperature–composition ( P–T–X ) indicators (e.g., Rubatto 2002; Williams et al. 2007), garnet is one of those key indicator minerals. Garnet occurs in a great variety of rock types (see Baxter et al. 2013) and is frequently zoned (texturally, chemically) meaning that it contains more than just a snapshot of metamorphic conditions, but rather a semi-continuous history of evolving tectonometamorphic conditions during its often prolonged growth. In this way, garnet and its growth zonation have been likened to dendrochronology: garnet as the tree rings of evolving tectonometamorphic conditions (e.g., Pollington and Baxter 2010).
In some ways, the dream of ‘petrochronology’ all started with garnet (Fig. 1). When Atherton and Edmunds (1965) or Hollister (1966) recognized the chemical zonation in garnet, when Rosenfeld (1968) noted the spiral ‘snowball’ of inclusions in rotated garnet, or when Tracy et al. (1976) drew the first 2-D map of garnet chemical zonation, illuminating those ‘tree-rings’ for the first time, they could only imagine what is now a reality decades later—direct zoned garnet geochronology of those concentric rings of growth. Geoscientists soon thereafter attempted the first garnet geochronology (van Breemen and Hawkesworth 1980), though several factors severely limited the development and wider-spread use of garnet geochronology from that point. These factors included 1) contamination of garnet by micro-mineral inclusions, 2) analytical limitations of small sample size, 3) the requirement of anchoring a garnet age analysis with another point on an isochron, and …
期刊介绍:
RiMG is a series of multi-authored, soft-bound volumes containing concise reviews of the literature and advances in theoretical and/or applied mineralogy, crystallography, petrology, and geochemistry. The content of each volume consists of fully developed text which can be used for self-study, research, or as a text-book for graduate-level courses. RiMG volumes are typically produced in conjunction with a short course but can also be published without a short course. The series is jointly published by the Mineralogical Society of America (MSA) and the Geochemical Society.
