Tryck- och temperaturbestämning hos metamorfos av metasediment i Vetlandagruppen, Småland

Makowsky, Felix January 2013 (has links)
Detta arbete är del av Metamorphic map of Sweden, ett samarbete mellan Institutionen för geologiska vetenskaper och Sveriges Geologiska undersökning , lett av Alasdair Skelton. Syftet med detta nationella projekt är att sammanställa tryck- och temperaturvärden för bergarter från hela Sverige för att få bättre överblick över Sveriges metamorfa historia.    Kartering och provtagning har genomförts i ett området väster om samhället Vetlanda, centrala Småland, i syfte att bestämma  tryck- och temperaturförhållanden för metamorfosen i området. Granatförande metasediment ur Vetlandagruppen, vilken är en del av Oskarshamn-Jönköpingbältet, har legat till grund för projektet, där mikroskopi, elektronmikrosondanalys (“EMPA”) samt beräkningar i mjukvarorna AX och THERMOCALC har gett P/T-uppskattningar på 604±15  ⃘C och 3.5±0.5Kbar, baserat på ett vägt medelvärde av 12 tryck-/temperatur-bestämningar, motsvarande amfibolitfacies.   Det undetsökta området utgörs till stor del av metasediment, med enstaka magmatiska stråk av kvartsrika bergarter och kalciumrika epidotbärande band. En regional NV-V foliation är genomgående i området, som har en simpel strukturgeologi utan vare sig utmärkande förkastningar eller veck. Euhedrala granater med manganrik kärna och nedbrutna andalusitkristaller pekar på en bevarad prograd metamorf utveckling.   Detta indikerar att Oskarshamn-Jönköpingbältet har påverkats av en metamorf händelse som inte finns hos kringliggande bergarter tillhörande det Transskandinaviska Magmatiska Bältet och bör således betraktas som en separat enhet, sett ur ett petrogenetiskt perspektiv. / This work is part of a national project called Metamorphic map of Sweden, with the goal to create a regional database of P/T-estimations to get a better overview of Sweden’s metamorphic history. Metamorphic map of Sweden is a collaborative project between Sveriges Geologiska undersökning (Geological survey of Sweden) and the Department of Geological Sciences at Stockholm University, led by Alasdair Skelton.   Mapping and sampling has been performed in an area west of the city of Vetlanda in order to constrain pressure- and temperature conditions of metamorphism. The project has focused on garnet-bearing metasediment of the Vetlanda-supergroup, part of the Oskarshamn-Jönköping belt. Microscopy, analysis with electron microprobe and calculations with the software’s AX and ThermoCalc have given pressure-/temperature-estimates of 604±15  ⃘C and 3.5±0.5Kbar. This is based on the weighted mean of 12 different P/T-estimations and places the rock in the amphibolite-facies, which is consistent with presence of andalusite in some of the samples.   The mapped area consists of mostly metasediment, with minor igneous rocks and epidote-bearing calcic belts. A regional foliation, striking N-NW, is apparent in an otherwise very simple area, structure-wise, devoid of any faults or folds. Euhedral garnet crystals with a manganese-rich core and broken down andalusite points toward a prograde metamorphic history.   This indicates that the Oskarshamn-Jönköping belt have been affected by a metamorphic event which has not been recorded in the surrounding TIB-rocks (Transscandinavian igneous belt), and should, therefore, be classed as a separate unit from a petrogenetic point of view.

Tracing the Origin of Metasedimentary Rocks in the Faroe-Shetland Basin / Spåra ursprunget av metasedimentära bergarter från Färö-Shetland bassängen

Eriksson, Sarah January 2016 (has links)
The Faroe-Shetland region has been exposed to a long history of tectonic events and the geology in the area is rather complex. This history has led to the formation large metasedimentary deposits, though the origin of these deposits is not yet fully understood. Possible source areas are Greenland, Norway and Scotland. To give a further understanding of the geology in the Faroe-Shetland basin and its regional relationship this study will analyze metasediments to classify them and compare them with other related sediments. Geochemical, petrographical and isotopic data will be for classification. Through this comparison it is evident that the metasediments from the Faroe-Shetland basin contain remnants from several different deposits and cannot be rated to one specific origin. This is shown by the 143Nd/ 144Nd , 87Sr/ 86Sr and 206Pb/204Pb , 207Pb/204Pb, 208Pb/204Pb isotope ratios found in the Faroe-Shetland basin compared with other possible source areas from Greenland, Norway and Scotland. This has shown that the isotope from the Faroe region correlate well with Caledonian traces from both Greenland and Scotland. Though the Torridonian sandstone from Scotland can also be correlated with the metasediments in the Faroe-Shetland basin. / Regionen kring Färö-Shetland bassängen har blivit utsatt för en lång historia av tektoniska orogeneser och extensioner vilket har lett till geologisk komplexitet i området. Metasediment täcker stora delar av bassängen, men ursprunget av dessa avsättningar är ännu inte helt fastställt. Grönland, Skottland och Norge är några av de föreslagna ursprungsområdena till de sedimentära avsättningarna. För att fördjupa förståelsen kring dessa metasediment och deras regionala relationer till andra platser, så fokuserar denna studie på att jämföra och klassificera metasediment från Färö-Shetland bassängen. Geokemisk, petrologisk och isotopdata kommer användas för klassifikation, medan isotopdata huvudsakligen kommer att ligga till grund för jämförelsen av troliga sedimentära källor. Genom denna jämförelse så har det blivit tydligt att metasedimenten från Färö-Shetland bassängen innehåller spår från flertalet olika områden och avsättningarna kan inte enbart förklaras utifrån ett ursprungsområde. Detta framgår genom isotopförhållandena 143Nd/144Nd , 87Sr/86 Sr and 206Pb/204Pb , 207Pb/204Pb, 208Pb/204Pb, vilka hittats i Färö-Shetland bassängen i jämförelse med andra möjliga källor från Grönland, Skottland och Norge. Detta påvisar en komplex metasedimentär sekvens, en sekvens efter den komplexa tektoniska historian.

High temperature forearc metamorphism and consequences for sulfide stability in the Pacific Rim Terrane, British Columbia

Geen, Alexander C. 25 June 2021 (has links)
The Pacific Rim Terrane in British Columbia is a group of fault-bound forearc metasedimentary and metaigneous rocks subcreted to Wrangellia, comprising three lithological units: the Leech River Complex (LRC), the Pandora Peak Unit (PPU), and the Pacific Rim Complex. Of these three, the LRC and PPU were subject to an elevated thermal metamorphic event which locally overprinted typical low temperature, medium pressure forearc assemblages with low greenschist through amphibolite facies assemblages. The field study shows that biotite, garnet and staurolite isograds occur concentrically in the LRC, centered on the Leech River fault, which separates the Pacific Rim Terrane from the underlying Metchosin Igneous Complex of the Crescent terrane. Local thermal overprint in the PPU is sub-biotitic and is characterized by local replacement of prehnite-pumpellyite and lawsonite-bearing assemblages with muscovite ± chlorite. Multi-method geothermobarometry shows peak metamorphic temperatures from ~230 °C in the northern PPU to ~600 °C near the Leech River fault at ~4 kbar, and isotherms are continuous across the LRC-PPU boundary. The interfoliated Tripp Creek metabasites and Eocene Walker Creek intrusions do not control the distribution of isotherms, and syn-metamorphic felsic sills rarely have contact aureoles. Intercalated metabasites show two distinct rare earth element (REE) patterns, including NMORB-like light REE depletion among most Tripp Creek metabasites, and light REE enrichment in PPU metabasites. The lack of thermal aureoles associated with metabasites, and interlayered garnetite bands with negative Ce-anomalies attributed to seafloor hydrothermal processes, suggest the Tripp Creek metabasites are not syn-metamorphic sills and formed prior to accretion. The subcretion of then recently formed oceanic crust belonging to the Crescent terrane is identified as the probable cause of anomalously high temperature forearc conditions, as well as possible proximity to an Eocene mid ocean ridge. The high temperature metamorphic rocks in the Pacific Rim Terrane document the conversion of inherited primary pyrite to pyrrhotite in carbonaceous metasediments. S-inclusive pseudosections for LRC protoliths predict a low temperature (<420 °C) narrow pyrite desulfidation window that produces pyrrhotite and releases negligible S to the fluid phase. Conversely, sulfide petrography in the LRC shows pyrite can persist up to ~550 °C as inclusions in andalusite and staurolite porphyroblasts, as well as possibly in the rock matrix. S contents in carbonaceous pelites show a marked reduction at medium grade, associated with a dearth of visible sulfide in LRC phyllites. Sluggish pyrite desulfidation, pyrrhotite desulfidation, and terrane-scale S mobility are interpreted as the driver for mobility of intra-terrane sourced Au, leading to the formation of a hypozonal orogenic Au deposit in the central LRC. / Graduate / 2022-06-11
