Various fluids and complex geochemical processes in the subduction channel: Constraints from the ultrahigh pressure metamorphic belt of Southwestern Tianshan, China
Lithos(2023)
摘要
The knowledge of fluids derived from the subducting slab is important to constrain the mass transfer in sub-duction zones, which is important to understand arc magma characteristics. The varying scales of veins in subduction-zone metamorphosed rocks reflect different scales of previous fluid flow. Metamorphic rocks from (ultra-) high pressure (UHP) metamorphic belt of Southwestern Tianshan orogen, China, developed various large-scale veins, which indicate complex mass transfer processes in subduction zones. To further understand the complex geochemical processes and constrain the slab-released fluids in subduction zones, we investigated two rock blocks (13TS-I and 13TS-VI) in this study, which developed different types of veins. The glaucophane-rich breccias and common presence of garnet and omphacite in the vein of rock block 13TS-I reflect a significant dehydration process, while the rock block 13TS-VI with garnet-dominated selvage and epidote-dominated veins reflect a strong fluid-rock interaction process. Although both of these rock blocks were affected by external fluids, they have experienced different metamorphic processes. Compared to the Sr-Nd isotope mixing curve with different potential fluid endmembers, the external fluids for 13TS-I and 13TS-VI under eclogite-facies meta-morphic conditions are derived from pelagic sediments and altered oceanic crust, respectively. The different metamorphic processes (e.g., dehydration, fluid-rock interactions) and different sources for fluids (e.g., pelagic sediments or altered oceanic crust) lead to the development of various veins in subduction-zone metamorphic rocks, which reflect complex geochemical processes in subduction zones.
