Eine Subfaziesfolge der Grünschieferfazies in den Mittleren Cévennen (Dép. Ardèche) mit Pyrophyllit aufweisenden Mineralparagenesen
1969
In the middle part of the Cevennes, situated at the south-eastern border of the Massif Central, there are outcrops of micaschists, gneisses and granites in which the increase of metamorphic grade was investigated along the river Beaume. This paper presents the results of the petrographic-geochemical analysis of the micaschists of the greenschist facies. Chemical analyses of the micaschist-samples examined petrographically show their nearly constant composition, a fact which e.g., is expressed by similar CaO/Na2O- and MgO/FeO-proportions. As the average values of the determined oxides approach the respective average values of analyses of graywackes recorded by Pettijohn (1957) the original s…
New mineral activity-composition relations for thermodynamic calculations in metapelitic systems
2014
New activity–composition (a–x) relations for minerals commonly occurring in metapelites are presented for use with the internally consistent thermodynamic dataset of Holland & Powell (2011, Journal of Metamorphic Geology, 29, 333–383). The a–x relations include a broader consideration of Fe2O3 in minerals, changes to the formalism of several phases and order–disorder in all ferromagnesian minerals where Fe–Mg mixing occurs on multiple sites. The a–x relations for chlorite, biotite, garnet, chloritoid, staurolite, cordierite, orthopyroxene, muscovite, paragonite and margarite have been substantially reparameterized using the approach outlined in the companion paper in this issue. For the fir…
