Qc. Fan et al., PETROLOGY AND HIGH-PRESSURE MINERAL ASSEMBLAGE OF MAFIC-ULTRAMAFIC ROCKS OF ULTRAHIGH-PRESSURE METAMORPHIC ZONE IN THE DABIE MOUNTAINS, SCIENCE IN CHINA SERIES D-EARTH SCIENCES, 39(3), 1996, pp. 329-336
The relation between eclogite and mafic-ultramafic rocks of Maowu Bixi
ling and Nanshanling in Dabie Mountains represents three different kin
ds of occurrence relations. Their protoliths are bedded cumulate forme
d by crystallization differentiation of basic magma, which experienced
ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism under the mantle condition at the dep
th of more than 120-150 km during the collision-subduction between the
Yangtze Plate and North China Plate. Ti-clinohumite+Ti-chondrodite+ma
gnesite+Al-poor pyroxene is the typical high-pressure mineral assembla
ge of mafic-ultramafic rocks which reveals the participation of H2O, C
O2 and other volatiles-containing fluid in the ultrahigh-pressure meta
morphism.
