CAJNOZOIC and Mesozoic in North Tarim are predominantly a set of terrestrial detrital formations. In thereservoir sandstones in the area, albite is one of the widely developed authigenic mineral. Micro-structural evidence shows that diagenetic albite occurs as euhedral crystals in the pore, and replaces feldsparand other detritus along cleavage and micro-crack. EPMA analyzing found that some of the alteration product has a chemical composition between purealbite and the replaced detrital feldspar. For example, composition of replaced alkali feldspar is betweenmicrocline and albite, and content of altered plagioclase decreases continuously. This has been regardedas direct evidence for fluid replacement, for feldspar crystallized from solution or magma is usually withfixed chemical composition. Taking alkali feldspar as an example, although Kf and Ab forming completeisomorphous admixture in high temperature, they exsolved out as two relative pure phases while temperature decreases.
