英文摘要

Some mafic granulites in the Sanggan area of the northern Trans-North China Orogen (TNCO) have a relatively simple mineralogy with low energy grain shapes that are compatible with an assumption of equilibrium, but the rock-forming minerals show variations in composition that create challenges for thermobarometry. The mafic granulites, which occur as apparently disrupted dyke-like bodies in tonalite-trondhjemite-granodiorite gneisses, are divided into two types based on petrography and chemical composition. Type 1 mafic granulites are fine- to medium-grained with an equilibrated texture and an assemblage of plagioclase+clinopyroxene+garnet+magnetite+ilmenite and sometimes minor hornblende +/- orthopyroxene. Type 2 mafic granulites are coarse-grained and hornblende bearing with a peak assemblage of garnet+clinopyroxene+plagioclase+hornblende and variably developed coronae and symplectites of plagioclase+hornblende+orthopyroxene partially replacing porphyroblastic garnet +/- clinopyroxene. SIMS U-Pb dating of metamorphic zircon from two type 1 mafic granulites yields metamorphic ages of c. 1.84 and 1.83Ga, consistent with published ages of the type 2 mafic granulites. Based on phase equilibrium modelling, we use the common overlap of P-T fields defined by the mineral assemblage limits, and the mole proportion and composition isopleths of different minerals in each sample to quantify the metamorphic conditions. For type 1 granulites, overlap of the mineral proportion and composition fields for each of three samples yields similar P-T conditions of 710-880 degrees C at 0.57-0.79GPa, 820-850 degrees C at 0.59-0.63GPa and 800-860 degrees C at 0.59-0.68GPa. For the type 2 granulites, overlaying the peak assemblage fields for three samples yields common P-T conditions of 870-890 degrees C at 1.1-1.2GPa. For the retrograde assemblage, overlap of the mineral proportion and composition fields for each sample yields similar P-T conditions of 820-840 degrees C at 0.85-0.88GPa, 860-880 degrees C at 0.83-0.86GPa and 880-930 degrees C at 0.89-0.95GPa. The P-T conditions appear distinct between the two types of mafic granulite, with the mineralogically simple type 1 mafic granulites recording the lowest pressures. However, there are significant uncertainties associated with these results. For the granulites, there are uncertainties related to the determination of modes and composition of the equilibration volume, particularly estimation of O and H2O contents, and in the phase equilibrium modelling there are uncertainties that propagate through the calculation of mole proportions and mineral compositions. The compound uncertainties on pressure and temperature for high-T granulites are large and the results of our study show that it may be unwise to rely on P-T conditions determined from the simple intersection of calculated mineral composition isopleths alone. Since the samples in this study are from a limited areaa few hundred square metreswe infer that they record a single P-T path involving both decompression and cooling. However, there is no evidence of the high-P granulite facies event at 1.93-1.90Ga that is recorded elsewhere in the TNCO, which suggests that the precursor basic dykes were emplaced late during the assembly of the North China Craton.
