Tumor-specific lytic path“hyperploid progression mediated death”:Resolving side effects through targeting retinoblastoma or p53 mutant

A major advance was made to reduce the side effects of cancer therapy via the elucidation of the tumor-specific lytic path“hyperploid progression-mediated death”targeting retinoblastoma(Rb)or p53-mutants defective in G1 DNA damage checkpoint.The genetic basis of human cancers was uncovered through the cloning of the tumor suppressor Rb gene.It encodes a nuclear DNA-binding protein whose self-interaction is regulated by cyclin-dependent kinases.A 3Dstructure of Rb dimer is shown,confirming its multimeric status.Rb assumes a central role in cell cycle regulation and the“Rb pathway”is universally inactivated in human cancers.Hyperploidy refers to a state in which cells contain one or more extra chromosomes.Hyperploid progression occurs due to continued cell-cycling without cytokinesis in G1 checkpoint-defective cancer cells.The evidence for the triggering of hyperploid progression-mediated death in RBmutant human retinoblastoma cells is shown.Hence,the very genetic mutation that predisposes to cancer can be exploited to induce lethality.The discovery helped to establish the principle of targeted cytotoxic cancer therapy at the mechanistic level.By triggering the lytic path,targeted therapy with tumor specificity at the genetic level can be developed.It sets the stage for systematically eliminating side effects for cytotoxic cancer therapy.

Spinel + quartz-bearing ultrahigh-temperature granulites from Xumayao,Inner Mongolia Suture Zone,North China Craton:Petrology,phase equilibria and counterclockwise p-T path

The Khondalite Belt within the Inner Mongolia Suture Zone （IMSZ） in the North China Craton is a classic example for Paleoproterozoic ultrahigh-temperature （UHT） metamorphism. Here we report new spinel-bearing metapelitic granulites from a new locality at Xumayao within the southern domain of the IMSZ. Petrological studies and thermodynamic modeling of the spinel -- quartz-bearing assemblage shows that these rocks experienced extreme metamorphism at UHT conditions. Spinel occurs in two textural settings：（1） high Xzn（Zn/（Mg ＋ FeH -- Zn） = 0.071--0.232） spinel with perthitic K-feld- spar, sillimanite and quartz in the rock matrix; and （2）low Xzn （0.045-0.070） spinel as inclusions within garnet porphyroblasts in association with quartz and sillimanite. Our phase equilibria modeling indicates two main stages during the metamorphic evolution of these rocks：（l） near-isobaric cooling from 975 ℃ to 875 ℃ around 8 kbar, represented by the formation of garnet porphyroblasts from spinel and quartz; and（2）cooling and decompression from 850 ℃, 8 kbar to below 750 ℃- 6.5 kbar, represented by the break-down of garnet. The spinel ＋ quartz assemblage is considered to have been stable at peak metamorphism, formed through the break-down of cordierite, indi- caring a near isothermal compression process. Our study confirms the regional extent of UHT metamor- phism within the IMSZ associated with the Paleoproterozoic subduction-collision process.

P-T-t Path of Mafic Granulite Metamorphism in Northern Tibet and Its Geodynamical Implications

Mafic granulites have been found as structural lenses within the huge thrust system outcropping about 10 km west of Nam Co of the northern Lhasa Terrane, Tibetan Plateau. Petrological evidence from these rocks indicates four distinct metamorphic assemblages. The early metamorphic assemblage (M1) is preserved only in the granulites and represented by plagioclase+hornblende inclusions within the cores of garnet porphyroblasts. The peak assemblage (M2) consists of garnet+clinopyroxene+hornblende+plagioclase in the mafic granulites. The peak metamorphism was followed by near-isothermal decompression (M3), which resulted in the development of hornblende+plagioclase symplectites surrounding embayed garnet porphyroblasts, and decompression-cooling (M4) is represented by minerals of hornblende+plagioclase recrystallized during mylonization. The peak (M2) P-T conditions of garnet+ clinopyroxene+plagioclase+hornblende were estimated at 769-905℃ and 0.86-1.02 GPa based on the geothermometers and geobarometers. The P-T conditions of plagioclase+hornblende symplectites (M3) were estimated at 720-800℃ and 0.55-0.68 GPa, and recrystallized hornblende+plagioclase (M4) at 594-708℃ and 0.26-0.47 GPa. It is impossible to estimate the P-T conditions of the early metamorphic assemblage (M1) because of the absence of modal minerals. The combination of petrographic textures, metamorphic reaction history, thermobarometric data and corresponding isotopic ages defines a clockwise near-isothermal decompression metamorphic path, suggesting that the mafic granulites had undergone initial crustal thickening, subsequent exhumation, and cooling and retrogression. This tectonothermal path is considered to record two major phases of collision which resulted in both the assemblage of Gondwanaland during the Pan-African orogeny at 531 Ma and the collision of the Qiangtang and Lhasa Terranes at 174 Ma, respectively.

The Microarea Composition of Garnet and Biotite from the Ji'an Group in Tonghua District and Its Significance as an Indicator of Metamorphic P-T-t Path

The garnet (Grt) and biotite (Bt) from gneisses of the Ji’ an Group are characterized by diffusion zoning at the rim, but equilibrium composition of metamorphic peak is usually remained in extensive interior area. Garnet with growth zoning is also found in the kyanite zone.In the light of microarea compositional variation of Grt and Bt, the temperatuIe and pressuIe at the progressive, peak and post peak metamorphic stages are determined by correctly using GrtBt thermometer and GASP barometer. On this basis, a counterclockwise P-T-t path can be constructed, which reflects the closing process of an ensialic rift belt in this region during the Early Proterozoic.

Integrated P-T Paths of the High-Pressure Rocks and Their Tectonic Implications for the Mountain-Building of the North Qilian, China

After the integration of petrographic study, geothermobarometry and Gibbs method, the synthetic P-T paths for the rocks from different geological profiles in the North Qilian, China, have been derived. The composite P-T paths from different methods indicate that all the high-pressure rocks in the Qilian area recorded P-T paths with clockwise loops starting at the blueschist facies, later reaching peak metamorphism at the blueschist facies, eclogite fades or epidote-amphibolite facies and ending up with the greenschist facies. The incremental Ar-Ar dating shows that the plateau ages for the high-pressure rocks range from 410 to 443 Ma. The plateau ages could be used as a minimum age constraint for the subduction that resulted in the formation of these high-pressure rocks in the Qilian area. It is proposed that the late-stage decompressional and cooling P-T paths with ends at the greenschist facies for these high-pressure rocks probably reflect the uplift process which could occur after shifting the arc-trench tectonic system to the system of continental orogenic belts. The retrograde paths for the high-pressure rocks in the North Qilian tectonic belt are characterized by dramatic decompression with slight cooling, which suggests very rapid exhumation. Petrography supports that the mountain-building for the Qilian mountain range could undergo a very fast process which caused rapid uplift and denudation.

Age, Mechanism and Direction of East Qinling-Dabieshan Lithosphere Delamination Petrological Evidence and Stipulation

Through studies of P\|T\|t paths and decompressive retrograde metamorphic textures of metamorphic rocks in the East Qinling\|Dabieshan region, the authors determined the Mesozoic crust rapid uplifting age, and then inferred that in the East Qinling\|Dabieshan region lithosphere delamination occurred from T\-3 to J\-1. The Yanshanian granites produced by delamination are developed well in the East Qinling\|Dabieshan region. But due to the Gondwana plate effect, magmatism in the region caused by delamination lagged until J\-3 when the northern Tibet terrane and the Eurasian plate completely amalgamated. Additionally, due to western Pacific plate subducting underneath the Eurasian plate, in the East Qinling\|Dabieshan region the stress state was transformed from compression to extension. So in the region from J\-3 to K\-2 magmatism was most intensive, and liberalization was also relatively strong. Geophysical data reflect that in the East Qinling\|Dabieshan region the asthenosphere rose to the shallow level, the Moho is flat with no mountain root, and the crustal thickness is less than 40 km on average. These features agree with those of collisional orogenes in which delamination has occurred. Through contrasting differences in surface and interior depth between east and west Qinling we believe that delamination proceeded from east to west.

Recognition of Ophiolite Belt and Granulite in Northern Area of Mian－Lue， Southern Qinling， China and Their Implication

A ophiolite belt associated with the tectonic melange is recoghzed in northern area of Mian-Lue, southern Qinling. The ophiolite is considered to originate in a island arc. The occurrence of the ophiolite indicates that a paleo-ocean or finite oceanic basin existed POSt-Prot6rozoic in southern Qiuling, implying the difference of the continental basement of Southern Qinling from the Yangtze craton. The ophiolitc and themelange may mark the paleo-suture zoic between the two plates. The basic granulite is found in eastern area (Anzishan) of the ophiolite belt. The p-T path for metamorphism of the granulite demonstrates a process of continental collision.

Metamorphism of the East Sector of the Southern Qinling Orogenic Belt and Its Geological Significance

The east sector of the southern Qinling belt is, lithologically, composed mainly of metapelites, ***qüartzites, marbles and small amount of metabasites and gneisses, whose protoliths are the Silurian, Devonian and less commonly the Sinian and Upper Palaeozoic. They have been subjected at least to two epochs of metamorphism. The early epoch belongs to progressive metamorphism which is centered on high amphibolite-granulite fades in the Fuping area and changed outwards into low amphibolite facies (staurolite-kyanite zone), epidote amphibolite facies (garnet zone) and greenschist facies (chlorite and biotite zones), the metamorphic age of which is about 220–260 Ma. This early-epoch metamorphism belongs to different pressure types: the rocks from greenschist to low amphibolite facies belong to the typical medium-pressure type which shows geothermal gradients of about 17–20 ***C/km and was probably produced by a crustal thickening process related to continental collision, and the high amphibolite-granulite facies belongs to the low-pressure type which shows geothermal gradients of about 25–38 ***C/km and was probably affected by some magmatic heats. Based on the basic characteristics of the P-T paths of the different facies calculated from the garnet zonations, it can be deduced that the metamorphism of medium-pressure facies series took place during an imbricated thickening process, rather than during the uplifting process after thickening. The late-epoch metamorphism belongs to dynamic metamorphism of greenschist facies which is overprinted on the early-epoch metamorphic rocks and is Yanshanian or Himalayan in age, probably related to intracontinental orogeny.

High Pressure Metamorphism of Garnet-Amphibole Rocks from Songshugou Area,Eastern Qinling Mountain and Its Tectonic Implication

Eclogitic garnet-amphibole rocks are scattered around me Songshugou ultramafic bodies in Qinling Mountains . Three metamorphic stages are recognized in terms of petrography, mineral chemistry and geothermobarometry . The first alhite-amphibole stage was of greenschist facies metamorphism with typical mineral assemblage of actinolite+epidote+chlorite+albite ; the pressure and temperature conditions were equal to or lower than 500MPa and about 400 ℃ .The second prograde eclogitic garnet-amphibole stage was of amphibole-eclogite fades metamorphism with typical mineral assemblage of garnet+hornblende± clinopyroxene+ruffle without ptagioclase ,the pressure condition was at least 1000- 1200MPa and the temperature about 600 ℃ .The third retrograde epidote-amphibole stage was of epidote-amphibolite fecies with assemblage of plagioclase+hornblende+epidote+ilmenite/titanite , the temperature was 500-600 ℃ and the pressure from 800MPa down to 500MPa .All three stages took place in one single tectonothermal event called Jinningian movement at about 1000Ma .The p-T path shows a hairpin shape and thus indicates a metamorphism in the sobduction environment. The metamorphk processes of the garnet- amphibole rocks thus provides a significant evidence for the pbte tectonic movement prevailing in the late Middle Proterozoic period.

Petrological Investigations and Zircon U-Pb Dating of High Pressure Felsic Granulites from the Yushugou Complex, South Tianshan, China

As a window of insight into the lower crust, high pressure granulite has received much attention since last decade. Yushugou high pressure granulite-peridotite Complex was located in the northeast margin of Southern Tianshan, NW China. Previous ideas agreed that the peridotite unit in Yushugou, combined with the ultramafic rocks in Tonghuashan and Liuhuangshan, represent an ophiolite belt. However, the metamorphic evolution and tectonic mechanism of the Yushugou high pressure （HP） granulite remain controversial. Petrological investigations and phase equilibrium modelling for two representative fclsic granulitc samples suggest two stages metamorphism of the rocks in Yushugou Complex. Granulite facies metamorphism （Stage I） with P-T conditions of 9.8-10.4 kbar at 895-920℃ was recorded by the porphyroblastic garnet core; HP granulite facies metamorphism （Stage II） shows P-T conditions of 13.2-13.5 kbar at 845-860℃, based on the increasing grossular and decreasing pyrope contents of garnet rims. The Yushugou HP felsic granulites have recorded an anti- clockwise P-T path, characterized by the temperature decreasing and pressure increasing simultaneously. The LA-ICP-MS isotopic investigations on zircons from the felsic granulite show that the protolith ages of the granlulites are -430 Ma, with two age groups of-390 Ma and 340-350 Ma from the metamorphic rims of zircon, indicating the Stage I and II metamorphic events, respectively. A tectonic model was proposed to interpret the processes. The investigated felsic granulite was derived from deep rooted hanging wall, with Stage I granulite facies metamorphism of -390 Ma, which may he related to the Devonian arc magmatic intrusion; Stage II HP granulite facies metamorphism （340-350 Ma） may due to the involvement of being captured into the subducting slab and experienced the high pressure metamorphism.

Evidence for Mesoproterozoic collision,deep burial and rapid exhumation of garbenschiefer in the Namaqua Front,South Africa

Metamorphic provinces such as the^1 Ga Grenvillian,~400 Ma Caledonide and Triassic Qinling Provinces often contain rocks with high-pressure assemblages such as eclogites,which formed at mantle depths in subduction zones.These are evidence of the accretion of terranes by subduction of oceans and collision to form large tectonostratigraphic provinces.The Mesoproterozoic Namaqua-Natal Province comprises a number of terranes thought to have been assembled by plate-tectonic processes,but they have generally yielded metamorphic pressures below 5 kbar,corresponding to<20 km,crustal depths,lacking evidence for subduction processes.The Kaaien Terrane in the Namaqua Front contains two large garbenschiefer units with the unusual paragenesis garnet-hornblende-epidote-white mica-plagioclase-ilmenite-quartz.Their protoliths are graywackes influenced by andesitic volcanism during their deposition at^1870 Ma,in a passive margin of the Rehoboth Province or Kaapvaal Craton.Prograde garnet growth dated at 1165
5 Ma culminated in peak metamorphic conditions of 645
30C and 10.4
0.7 kbar,corresponding to 40 km depth.This is attributed to subduction of these rocks before collision between the overriding arc-related Areachap Terrane,the Kaaien Terrane and the Kaapvaal-Rehoboth cratonic block during the Namaqua orogeny.Exhumation of the garbenschiefer slabs was followed by rapid cooling,as the 1143
5 Ma argon dates of hornblende and white mica,with closure temperatures^540C and^440C respectively,are the same within error.This was probably due to tectonic juxtaposition of the garbenschiefer slab with much cooler rock units.The exhumation was accommodated along the Trooilapspan-Brakbosch Shear Zone due to ongoing transpression.Other components of the Namaqua Front have distinctly different P-T-t paths,exemplified by greenschist metamorphism in the 1300 Ma Wilgenhoutsdrift Group,and medium-pressure metamorphism in the Areachap Terrane.They were juxtaposed by late-tectonic uplift and transpressional movements.The^40 km depth of garbenschiefer peak metamorphism is the deepest yet found in the Namaqua-Natal Province and strengthens the plate tectonic model of accretion by collision of terranes at the end of a Wilson cycle.The high pressure paragenesis of the garbenschiefer was preserved due to its location in the Namaqua Front,whereas most other parts of the Namaqua-Natal Province were overprinted by 1100–1020 Ma thermal events after the collision events.

Permo-Triassic high-pressure metamorphism in the central western Korean Peninsula, and its link to Paleo-Tethyan Ocean closure: Key issues revisited

Permo-Triassic high-pressure(HP) mafic granulites, together with the Bibong retrogressed eclogite,preserved along the central western Korean Peninsula provide important insights into the Late Permian to Triassic collisional orogeny in northeast Asia. The metamorphic pressureetemperatureetime(P-T-t)paths of these rocks, however, remain poorly constrained and even overestimated, owing to outdated geothermobarometers and inaccurate isopleth techniques. Here we evaluate the metamorphic Pe T conditions of Triassic HP mafic granulites including those in Baekdong, Sinri and Daepan and the Bibong Triassic retrogressed eclogite in the Hongseong area, and the Permo-Triassic Samgot mafic granulite in the Imjingang Belt of the central western Korean Peninsula through the application of modern phase equilibria techniques. The Baekdong and Samgot mafic granulites and the Bibong retrogressed eclogite yield a range of 12.0 -16.0 kbar and 800 -900℃, representing HP granulite facies conditions. The Sinri and Daepan granulites from the Hongseong area show relatively lower grade metamorphic conditions between HP granulite and normal granulite facies, and are characterized by sub-isothermal decompression during exhumation. The similarities in the metamorphic ages and the post-collisional igneous activity from the central western Korean Peninsula indicate that the Triassic ages represent the retrograde stage of the metamorphic Pe T paths. In contrast, the Late Permian metamorphic ages, which are older than protolith ages of the post-collisional igneous rocks, correspond to the possible prograde stage of metamorphism. The P-T-t paths presented in this paper, together with the metamorphic ages and post-orogenic igneous events reported from these areas suggest trace of the subduction, accretion and exhumation history, and indicate a tectonic linkage among the northeast Asian continents during the Paleo-Tethyan Ocean closure.

Pressure-temperature Evolution of the Metapelites in the Motuo Area, the Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis

The Motuo area is located in the east of the Eastern Himalayan Syntaxis.There outcrops a sequence of high-grade metamorphic rocks,such as metapelites.Petrology and mineralogy data suggest that these rocks have experienced three stages of metamorphism.The prograde metamorphic mineral assemblages （M1） are mineral inclusions （biotite ＋ plagioclase ＋ quartz ± sillimanite ± Fe-Ti oxides） preserved in garnet porphyroblasts,and the peak metamorphic assemblages （M2） are represented by garnet with the lowest Xsps values and the lowest XFe# ratios and the matrix minerals （plagioclase ＋ quartz ± K-feldspar ＋ biotite ＋ muscovite ＋ kyanite ± siilimanite）,whereas the retrograde assemblages （M3） are composed of biotite ＋ plagioclase ＋ quartz symplectites rimming the garnet porphyroblasts.Thermobarometric computation shows that the metamorphic conditions are 562-714℃ at 7.3-7.4 kbar for the M1 stage,661-800℃ at 9.4-11.6 kbar for the M2 stage,and 579-713℃ at 5.5-6.6 kbar for the M3 stage.These rocks are deciphered to have undergone metamorphism characterized by clockwise P-T paths involving nearly isothermal decompression （ITD） segments,which is inferred to be related to the collision of the India and Eurasia plates.

喂子坪秦岭杂岩麻粒岩相变沉积岩的变质作用p-T演化及其构造意义

秦岭杂岩位于秦岭造山带北秦岭构造带,是研究秦岭造山带早古生代构造演化的重要岩石构造单元。喂子坪地区发育有典型的秦岭杂岩,其中的混合岩是由变沉积岩经历了强烈的深熔作用形成的。本研究对其进行了岩相学、变质相平衡模拟和LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb年代学研究,以深入揭示它们的变质温压演化特征,进而阐明它们指示的构造意义。混合岩的中色体由含石榴子石角闪黑云斜长片麻岩和含石榴子石黑云角闪斜长片麻岩组成。含石榴子石角闪黑云斜长片麻岩只记录了峰期变质矿物组合,为镁铁闪石+石榴子石+斜长石+石英+黑云母+钛铁矿+熔体,而含石榴子石黑云角闪斜长片麻岩记录了3个变质演化阶段,分别是早期进变质阶段(M1):黑云母+斜长石+石英;峰期变质阶段(M2):镁铁闪石+石榴子石+斜长石+石英+黑云母+钛铁矿+熔体;退变质阶段(M3):普通角闪石+斜长石+黑云母+石英+熔体。全岩成分视剖面图模拟计算显示含石榴子石角闪黑云斜长片麻岩和含石榴子石黑云角闪斜长片麻岩压力峰期的变质温压条件分别为790~810℃/990~1040 MPa和840~862℃/1000~1190 MPa。含石榴子石黑云角闪斜长片麻岩3组局部矿物组合域成分视剖面图模拟计算得到压力峰期后变质阶段的温压条件为735~814℃/400~810 MPa、721~794℃/430~700 MPa、740~810℃/470~780 MPa。因此,本研究揭示了喂子坪地区秦岭杂岩片麻岩记录了近等温降压的p-T轨迹。LA-ICP-MS锆石U-Pb定年得到含石榴子石角闪黑云斜长片麻岩和2个浅色体样品中的变质锆石206Pb/238U加权平均年龄分别为383.2±7.0 Ma、400±3.6 Ma和406.7±7.8 Ma。结合已发表的数据,喂子坪地区变沉积岩麻粒岩相峰期变质作用和强烈的混合岩化作用的时代约为410~390 Ma,而约380 Ma的年龄可能代表退变质冷却到固相线的时代。片麻岩近等温降压的变质演化轨迹指示喂子坪地区秦岭杂岩的变沉积岩在下地壳经历了麻粒岩相变质作用和随后的快速抬升,与碰撞造山引起的地壳增厚和随后的地壳伸展有关。

Thermal history of a Late Mesoproterozoic paired metamorphic belt(?)during Rodinia assembly:New insight from medium-pressure granulites from the Aravalli-Delhi Mobile Belt, Northwestern India

In this study, we investigate the possible record of a Late Mesoproterozoic paired metamorphic belt in the Aravalli-Delhi Mobile Belt(ADMB), NW India using a suite of supracrustal and metaigneous granulites from the Pilwa-Chinwali granulite terrain at the north-western margin of the ADMB. Using metamorphic reaction textures, mineral chemistry, metamorphic reaction history, geothermobarometric computations and electron microprobe dating of monazite in 5 samples of pelitic granulite, leptynite gneiss, enderbite and charnockite, we have deduced a medium-pressure granulite facies metamorphism(P between 4.9 and 6.8 kbar, T> 760-815℃) along a heating-cooling, counterclockwise P-T path between 1.09 and 1.01 Ga. When collated with published metamorphic and chronological constraints and geological settings of the adjoining crustal domains of the ADMB, these findings provide new insights into the developments of two tectonic domains of contrasting thermal gradients at ca. 1.0 Ga, consistent with metamorphic transformations in tectonically thickened middle-lower crustal sections during continental collision to continental subduction and in the root zones of spatially adjacent island arc, as part of the Rodinia supercontinent assembly event.

Structure and Thermoelectric Properties of Nanostructured (Bi, Sb)₂Te₃(Review)

The investigation of the structure and thermoelectric properties of nanostructured solid solutions (Bi, Sb)2Te3 p-type has been carried out. The samples were obtained by grinding of original compositions in a planetary ball mill and by spark plasma sintering (SPS). Initial powder has an average particle size of 10 - 12 nm according to transmission electron microscopy, and the size of the coherent scattering region (CSR) obtained by X-ray line broadening. During sintering at Ts = 250°C - 400°C, the grain size and CSR increased, which was associated with the processes of recrystallization. The maximum of size distribution of CSR shifts to larger sizes when Ts increases so that no broadening of X-ray lines at Ts = 400°C can take place. At higher Ts, the emergence of new nanograins is observed. The formation of nanograins is conditioned by reducing of quantity of the intrinsic point defects produced in the grinding of the source materials. The study of the electrical conductivity and the Hall effect in a single crystal allows to estimate the mean free path of the holes-L in the single crystal Bi0.5Sb1.5Te3 which at room temperature is 2 - 5 nm (it is much smaller than the dimensions of CSR in the samples). The method for evaluation of L in polycrystalline samples is proposed. At room temperature, L is close to the mean free path in single crystals. Scattering parameter holes in SPS samples obtained from the temperature dependence of the Seebeck coefficient are within the measurement error equal to the parameter of the scattering of holes in a single crystal. The figure of merit ZT of SPS samples as a function of composition and sintering temperature has been investigated. Maximum ZT, equal to 1.05 at room temperature, is obtained for the composition Bi0.4Sb1.6Te3 at Ts = 500°C and a pressure of 50 MPa. The causes of an apparent increase in thermoelectric efficiency are discussed.

桐柏山地区低温榴辉岩变质作用的P-T轨迹

桐柏山地区发育南、北两条低温高压榴辉岩带,中间被桐柏山高级变质杂岩所分隔。本文对两条带内的4个保存完好的榴辉岩体及其退变产物进行了详细的岩石学研究和 P-T 条件估算。结果表明,北带榴辉岩的形成温压条件较高,为530～610℃、1.7～2.0GPa,南带榴辉岩较低,为470～520℃、1.3～1.7GPa,说明两条榴辉岩带不属于同一个高压岩片。实际上,二者分别对应于西大别地区的浒湾榴辉岩带(I 带)和七角山榴辉岩带(V 带)。电子探针分析发现,所有榴辉岩中的石榴石都展示了进变质环带,而退变榴辉岩的成分环带更为复杂,即保留了早期的进变环带,也显示了晚期的低温取代以及后期相对高温条件下的再生长,由此为榴辉宕的变质作用推导出一个“发卡式”演化轨迹。这种轨迹表明,榴辉岩先是在降温条件下缓慢向上回返的,这与目前已建立的多数高压、超高压岩石的快速抬升模式有所差异,而后在其进入到中地壳后又在相对较高的地温梯度下遭受退变质作用的改造。

青岛榴辉岩相蛇绿混杂岩的岩石学证据及退变质P-T轨迹

青岛榴辉岩相蛇绿混杂岩发育在胶南隆起北缘地缝合线附近,构造侵位于胶南群云母斜长片麻岩中。它主要由斜方辉橄岩、玄武质和玄武安山质火山岩及少量杂砂岩和硅质岩组成。它与一般仰冲蛇绿岩的主要区别是:玄武质和玄武安山质岩石普遍遭受了榴辉岩相变质作用并发生强烈的糜棱岩化和退变质作用。强烈的退变质作用使大部分榴辉岩变为含石榴石石英斜长角闪岩,但仍保留有少量榴辉岩透镜体。它们可能是俯冲陆壳前缘岛弧地壳或岛弧型蛇绿岩残片的推覆体。它的退变质P-T轨迹表明,在其上升过程中热传导速率较高,这可能与该岩石强烈糜棱岩化和含水有关。

华北太古宙高压基性麻粒岩的两类PT轨迹及其构造意义:矿物化学和变质作用研究

在华北克拉通桑干构造带中，分布有许多太古宙高压基性麻粒岩，呈大小不等的岩块产于强烈变形的ＴＴＧ片麻岩、二辉麻粒岩、混合岩和花岗岩中。高压麻粒岩富含石榴石斑晶，斑晶内部钙铝榴石含量明显高于边缘，一般可达２５％～２８％。许多石榴石含有单斜辉石包体，Ａｌ２Ｏ３含量高达７．４％～１１．２％，相应的契尔马克分子比例为１２％～１８％。这些成分特征指示了早期相对较高的变质压力。石榴石斑晶广泛发育后成合晶反应边，是Ｐｌ－Ｏｐｘ－Ａｍｐ－Ｍｔ组合的放射状细粒交生体，邻接的单斜辉石和石榴石斑晶边缘与后成合晶组合近于反应平衡，单斜辉石Ａｌ２Ｏ３含量小于５％，石榴石边缘的钙铝榴石含量也大大低于核部。这些都显示了压力较低条件下石榴石和单斜辉石的分解。温度压力的计算结果揭示出高压麻粒岩的两类ＰＴ轨迹，它们早期的变质作用都表现出较高的压力（１．２～１．４５ＧＰａ）。一部分高压麻粒岩具有顺时针的ＰＴ轨迹，并显示升温减压和近等温减压过程。它们很可能形成于晚太古代某种型式的俯冲和碰撞构造过程。另一部分高压麻粒岩具有逆时针的ＰＴ轨迹，显示降温降压过程，并且早期变质温度高达１０５０℃。它们很可能来自碰撞之前的岛弧下地壳底部。在碰撞阶段的后期，这些?
