Metamorphism of Mafic Rocks

1994
Metamorphic mafic rocks (e.g., mafic schist or greenschist and mafic gneiss, amphibolite) are derived from mafic igneous rocks, mainly basalts and andesites, and of lesser importance, gabbro and mafic diorite (Chap. 2). Metamorphic assemblages in mafic rocks are particularly useful in defining the intensity of metamorphism within the metamorphic facies

METAMORPHIC ROCKS

2014
Metamorphic rocks are product of transformation or solid-state recrystallization of existing (protolith) igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rocks, due to change in physical and chemical conditions, principally temperature, pressure and introduction of chemically active fluids and gases. Metamorphism alters the mineral composition including formation

Fluids in metamorphic rocks

Lithos, 2001
Basic principles for the study of fluid inclusions in metamorphic rocks are reviewed and illustrated. A major problem relates to the number of inclusions, possibly formed on a wide range of P-T conditions, having also suffered, in most cases, extensive changes after initial trapping.

Metamorphism of Ultramafic Rocks

1994
Ultramafic rocks are magnesium silicate rocks that normally contain no felsic minerals or very little (

Metamorphic Reactions in Carbonate Rocks [PDF]

open access: possible, 1965
The metamorphism of quartz-bearing carbonate rocks provides interesting examples of metamorphic reactions. The occurence of siliceous dolomites and siliceous dolomitic limestones is very widespread, whereas that of magnesite-bearing sediments is much rarer.

Metamorphism of Mafic Rocks

1974
Basalts and pyroxene-andesites comprise by far the largest amount of mafic rocks and greatly predominate over their plutonic equivalents. Basalts and andesites are widespread in most geosynclines in the forms of lava flows, pillow lavas, tuff layers, sills, and dykes.

Metamorphic Rocks of Iran

2021
In this chapter, all metamorphic rocks of Iran have been studied and evaluated from the perspective of metamorphic facies, protoliths and their relationship with magmatic and orogenic phases. The distribution of metamorphic rocks is described along with the geological map and the grade of metamorphism.

Hg in metamorphic rocks

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 1968
Abstract The concentration of Hg in the regionally metamorphosed politic schists, gabbroic rocks and in quartz, magnetite and hematite from metamorphosed iron formation rocks reported here ranged from tenths of ppb to tenths of ppm. The concentrations did not vary in a systematic way. However, in stepwise heating experiments the fraction of the total

Metamorphism of Pelitic Rocks (Metapelites) [PDF]

open access: possible, 1994
Metapelites are probably the most distinguished family of metamorphic rocks. Typical metapelites include well-known metamorphic rocks such as, for example: chlorite-kyanite-schists, staurolite-garnet micaschists, chlori-toid-garnet micaschists, kyanite-staurolite schists, biotite-garnet-cordierite gneisses, sillimanite-biotite gneisses and ...

Metamorphism of Granitoid Rocks

2002
Granitoid rocks comprise granite, alkali-feldspar granite, granodiorite and tonalite. They constitute the largest portion of the continental crust. Granitoid gneisses, commonly migmatites, are in fact the dominant rock type of the continents. Because the main constituents — alkali-feldspar, plagioclase, quartz, biotite, muscovite, hornblende — are ...
