英文摘要 | A rare garnet-bearing mafic granulite boulder has recently been identified from the Larsemann Hills, East Antarctica, with the development of two-stage decompression textures. Detailed petrographic study and P-T estimates suggest three distinct metamorphic stages: (1) peak ultrahigh-temperature (UHT) stage (M1) represented by coarse-grained garnet-orthopyroxene-bearing porphyroblastic assemblage, with P-T conditions of similar to 9.3 kbar and 900-950 degrees C; (2) post-peak decompression stage I (M2) represented by relatively coarse-grained orthopyroxene-plagioclase-ilmenite-bearing corona assemblage, with P-T conditions of 7.2-7.6 kbar and 810-830 degrees C; and (3) post-peak decompression stage II (M3) represented by fine-grained orthopyroxene-plagioclase-ilmenite-bearing symplectite assemblage on garnets and along garnet cracks, with P-T conditions of 6.2-6.9 kbar and 730-770 degrees C. Combined with P-T pseudosection calculation in the NCKFMASHTO system, these P-T data define a clockwise P-T path with post-peak two-stage decompression accompanied by important cooling. LA-ICP-MS zircon U-Pb age dating results show two weighted mean ages of 927 +/- 13 Ma and 547 +/- 30 Ma, suggesting that M1 UHT stage occurred in the early Neoproterozoic Rayner orogeny (990-900 Ma), whereas M2-M3 stages occurred during the early Palaeozoic Pan-African tectonic event (550-500 Ma). The peak P-T conditions, post-peak two-stage decompression P-T path and age data resemble those of the early Neoproterozoic garnet-bearing mafic granulite on Sostrene Island. It is inferred that the mafic granulite boulder may have been derived from the bedrock under inland ice sheet of the Larsemann Hills. Thus, the early Neoproterozoic metamorphism (M1) may reflect crustal thickening followed by post-orogenic extension likely associated with the assembly of Rodinia continent, while the overprinting of early Palaeozoic metamorphism (M2-M3) may reflect an extensive intra-continental reworking. |
