Summary Decription

This sample displays minerals and textures which are interpreted in the following stages, from earliest to latest: 1. Crystallisation of granitoid A granitoid rock of possible ?monzogranitic composition crystallised to form a massive igneous assemblage of plagioclase + K-feldspar + quartz + ferromagnesians. The ferromagnesian possibly were originally present as granular aggregates, comparable with mafic aggregates described in other monzogranitic rocks in this collection. Opaques, apatite and zircon were present in the ferromagnesian aggregates; the significant amount of apatite in the mafic aggregates is similar to the other monzogranitic rocks. 2. Ductile deformation The rock suffered strong ductile deformation, producing a banded gneissic rock composed of alternating thicker felsic bands and thinner mafic laminae. Most of the deformation was accommodated in the mafic minerals, which were strongly elongated in bands, and which recrystallised to form fine-grained biotite + chlorite + opaques + leucoxene. P-T conditions were therefore in the middle-greenschist facies (biotiteforming). Earlier apatite and zircon survived. As part of this event, plagioclase grains were replaced by optically continuous albite clouded by tiny sericite flecks and hematite specks.

Detailed Decription

In thin section, this sample displays a partly preserved massive granitoid texture, modified by strong ductile deformation in spaced bands producing a mineralogically and texturally banded rock, overprinted by subsequent retrogressive alteration effects. Felsic minerals dominate bands ~3-5 mm thick. The bands display a massive preserved granitoid texture, defined by blocky subhedral plagioclase grains ~1-2 mm in size now replaced by optically continuous albite and clouds of tiny sericite flecks, anhedral K-feldspar grains (orthoclase) in places moulded on the plagioclase, and interstitial granular aggregates of recrystallised quartz. Accessory crystals of apatite and zircon occur in some of the altered plagioclase grains. Hematite occurs as minute specks which are sprinkled through the albite, in places forming more concentrated reddish clouds. Mafic minerals are concentrated in thin discontinuous laminae ~0.5 mm thick, which in turn are concentrated in bands up to ~2 mm thick, which alternate with the coarser-grained felsic bands described above. In the mafic laminae, tiny pleochroic reddish brown biotite flakes and pleochroic green chlorite flakes form a dense mat, partly massive but partly foliated in the trace of the lamination. Opaques form small granules and aggregates distributed through the biotite-chlorite mat. Titanite forms tiny turbid ragged granules and aggregates in the chlorite. Sericite occurs in minor amount as small colourless flakes intergrown with the biotite and chlorite. Apatite is moderately common as small stumpy colourless prisms. Zircon is observed as uncommon small equant grains.
