Combined petrographic, minerochemical, fluid inclusion, and stable isotope studies have been carried out on phengite-kyanite-epidote (Phe-Ky-Ep) eclogites from Hushan and Qinglongshan (Donghai area, UHP Sulu orogen, China) to unravel their metamorphic evolution and fluid-rock interaction. A complex metamorphic evolution, from coesite-eclogite (P = 3.5-4.0 GPa and T = 840 +/- 50°C) to greenschist facies conditions (P = 0.2 GPa and T = 350 °C), through quartz-eclogite and HT amphibolite-facies conditions, was recognized. The associated fluids are aqueous and show a progressive change in salinity and composition, reflecting different metamorphic stages. Stable isotope data confirm that, prior to subduction, the Sulu eclogite protolith experienced a meteorichydrothermal alteration, and indicate that during metamorphic evolution the rocks recrystallized without pervasive fluid infiltration.

Abstract
Combined petrographic, minerochemical, fluid inclusion, and stable isotope studies have been carried out on phengite-kyanite-epidote (Phe-Ky-Ep) eclogites from Hushan and Qinglongshan (Donghai area, UHP Sulu orogen, China) to unravel their metamorphic evolution and fluid-rock interaction. A complex metamorphic evolution, from coesite-eclogite (P = 3.5-4.0 GPa and T = 840 +/- 50°C) to greenschist facies conditions (P = 0.2 GPa and T = 350 °C), through quartz-eclogite and HT amphibolite-facies conditions, was recognized. The associated fluids are aqueous and show a progressive change in salinity and composition, reflecting different metamorphic stages. Stable isotope data confirm that, prior to subduction, the Sulu eclogite protolith experienced a meteorichydrothermal alteration, and indicate that during metamorphic evolution the rocks recrystallized without pervasive fluid infiltration.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
