Fluid-induced high-temperature metasomatism at Rundvågshetta in the Lützow-Holm Complex, East Antarctica: Implications for the role of brine during granulite formation

We report new petrological, phase equilibria modeling, and fluid inclusion data for pelitic and mafic granulites from Rundvågshetta in the highest-grade region of the Neoproterozoic Lützow-Holm Complex (LHC), East Antarctica, and provide unequivocal evidence for fluid-rock interaction and high-temperature metasomatism in the presence of brine fluid. The studied locality is composed dominantly of well-foliated pelitic granulite (K-feldspar + quartz + sillimanite + garnet + ilmenite) with foliation-parallel bands and/or layers of mafic granulite (plagioclase + orthopyroxene + garnet + ilmenite + quartz + biotite). The boundary between the two lithologies is defined by thin (about 1–20 cm in thick) garnet-rich layers with a common mineral assemblage of garnet + plagioclase + quartz + ilmenite + biotite ± orthopyroxene. Systematic increase of grossular and decrease of pyrope contents in garnet as well as decreasing Mg/(Fe + Mg) ratio of biotite from the pelitic granulite to garnet-rich rock and mafic granulite suggest that the garnet-rich layer was formed by metasomatic interaction between the two granulite lithologies. Phase equilibria modeling in the system NCKFMASHTO demonstrates that the metasomatism took place at 850–860 °C, which is slightly lower than the peak metamorphism of this region, and the modal abundance of garnet is the highest along the metapelite–metabasite boundary (up to 40%), which is consistent with the field and thin section observations. The occurrence of brine (7.0–10.9 wt.% NaCleq for ice melting or 25.1–25.5 wt.% NaCleq for hydrohalite melting) fluid inclusions as a primary phase trapped within plagioclase in the garnet-rich layer and the occurrence of Cl-rich biotite (Cl = 0.22–0.60 wt.%) in the metasomatic rock compared to that in pelitic (0.15–0.24 wt.%) and mafic (0.06–0.13 wt.%) granulites suggest infiltration of brine fluid could have given rise to the high-temperature metasomatism. The fluid might have been derived from external sources possibly related to the formation of major suture zones formed during the Gondwana amalgamation

Fluid inclusions in an osumilite-bearing granulite from Bunt Island in the Archean Napier Complex, East Antarctica: implications for a decompressional P-T path?

We report high-density CO_2-rich fluid inclusions in garnet,orthopyroxene,and quartz from an osumilite-bearing aluminous granulite from Bunt Island of the Archean Napier Complex,East Antarctica.The melting temperatures of fluids lie in the range of -56.8 to -57.8゜C being close to the triple point for pure CO_2 (-56.6゜C ). Homogenization of the CO_2,-rich fluids into the liquid phase occurs at temperatures in the range of -35.4 to 24.7゜C. This translates into CO_2 densities in the range of 0.788-1.084g/cm^3 .The estimated CO_2 ,isochore for high-density inclusions in garnet intersects the P-T trajectory of Bunt Island at around 10 kbar at 1050゜C, which corresponds to the peak metamorphic conditions of the region derived from mineral phase equilibria.We therefore infer that CO_2 ,was the dominant fluid species present during the ultrahigh-temperature metamorphism in Bunt Island.CO_2 inclusions with lower density occurring in quartz and garnet provide isochores that intersect the P-T path at <7 kbar and <950゜C indicating density reversal of originally high-density inclusions along a decompressional exhumation path of the ultrahigh-temperature rocks in the Bunt Island
