Abstract

Fluid inclusions from the tourmaline phase of alteration of the footwall amphibolite from the Tanco zoned granitic pegmatite lie in the system H{sub 2}O-CH{sub 4}-NaCl-CO{sub 2}. These inclusions contain a liquid and vapor phase at room temperature and develop a second liquid phase on cooling in the range {minus}77 to {minus}95{degree}C: the second liquid and the vapor are methane. Isochores for inclusions showing vapor phase (CH{sub 4}) homogenization were constructed from the equations of Jacobs and Kerrick (1981). The intersections of these isochores with the univariant melting curves for methane clathrate hydrates give estimates of salinity for the inclusions of between 7 and 10 equivalent wt.% NaCl, which are lower than those derived from measurement of the depression of the melting point of ice; a result consistent with salt exclusion by clathrate. The bulk composition of the fluid is estimated to be 91 mol.% H{sub 2}O, 6 mol.% CH{sub 4}, 2 equiv. mol.% NaCl and <1 mol.% CO{sub 2}. Total homogenization temperatures have a mean value of 371{degree}C {plus minus} 36{degree}C. Calculation of f{sub O2} from the bulk inclusion composition gives values near WI at these conditions which is unreasonably low for fluids derived from the pegmatite, which were probablymore »« less

The metasomatic fluids may have resulted from fluid mixing in the wall rock immediately adjacent to the pegmatite. The fluid derived from the pegmatite, a H{sub 2}O-CO{sub 2} fluid, introduced the B necessary to form tourmaline in the amphibolite. Supporting evidence is provided by pegmatite wall zone fluids with higher CH{sub 4} than the bulk of the pegmatite H{sub 2}O-CO{sub 2} fluids, suggesting marginal fluid contamination.},

An extended equation to calculate NaCl contents from final clathrate melting temperatures in H sub 2 O-CO sub 2 -NaCl fluid inclusions: Implications for P-T isochore location

Journal Article Darling, R S - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta; (United States)

This report informs fluid inclusion researchers of an extended equation to calculate wt% NaCl from final CO{sub 2}-clathrate melting temperatures in H{sub 2}O-CO{sub 2}-NaCl fluid inclusions. This equation is valid only if melting occurs in the presence of CO{sub 2}-liquid, CO{sub 2}-vapor, and salt solution. Previous workers used the equation of Bozzo et al. (1973, 1975) for salinity calculations; however, their equation is limited to clathrate melting temperatures between 10 and about 0C (0-16 wt% NaCl). Application of this equation to final clathrate melting temperatures from 0C to the peritectic temperature of {minus}10.0C (16-24.2 wt% NaCl) yields significant errors inmore »« less

Synthetic fluid inclusions: XIII. Experimental determination of PVT properties in the system H{sub 2}O + 40 wt% NaCl + 5 mol% CO{sub 2} at elevated temperature and pressure

Journal Article Schmidt, C ; Rosso, K M ; Bodnar, R J - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta

The location of the liquid + vapor {yields} liquid phase boundary and the P-T slopes of iso-Th lines were determined for a constant composition of 40 {+-} 0.1 wt% NaCl 5 {+-} 0.15 mol% CO{sub 2} (both relative) to H{sub 2}O at high density. Synthetic fluid inclusions with this composition were formed in cold-seal pressure vessels at pressures of 2 and 4 kbar and temperatures between 350{degrees}C and 700{degrees}C. The inclusions were analyzed on a gas-flow heating/cooling stage to determine the temperatures of halite dissolution [Tm{sub (H+L+V{yields}L+V)}] and total homogenization [Th{sub (L+V{yields}L)}].

Characterization of CO/sub 2/-CH/sub 4/-H/sub 2/O fluid inclusions by microthermometry and laser Raman microprobe spectroscopy: inferences for clathrate and fluid equilibria

Journal Article Seitz, J C ; Pasteris, J D ; Wopenka, B - Geochim. Cosmochim. Acta; (United States)

Microthermometry (MT) and laser Raman microprobe (LRM) spectroscopy were done on 33 synthetically produced CO/sub 2/-CH/sub 4/-H/sub 2/O fluid inclusions in quartz. At room temperature, the inclusions consist of an aqueous liquid, a CO/sub 2/-CH/sub 4/ supercritical carbonic fluid, and graphite. In all these inclusions, the melting temperature for solid CO/sub 2/ is less than that for the homogenization of the vapor bubble in the carbonic fluid. A method is described whereby MT data for CO/sub 2/-CH/sub 4/-H/sub 2/O inclusions can be projected within the CO/sub 2/-CH/sub 4/ binary phase diagram to infer CO/sub 2/:CH/sub 4/ ratios in the carbonicmore »« less

Anatexis of garnet amphibolites from a subduction zone metamorphic terrane

Conference Sorensen, S S ; Barton, M D ; Ernst, W G - Geol. Soc. Am., Abstr. Programs; (United States)

Concomitant rehydration, metasomatism and amphibolitization of eclogite blocks from a mafic/ultramafic complex of the Catalina Schist terrane, southern California, at estimated metamorphic P approx. 8-12 kb, T approx. 600/sup 0/-700/sup 0/C was apparently accompanied by partial melting of some blocks. Mobilizates of An approx./sub 10-20/ plagioclase (PL) +/- zoisite (ZO) + quartz (QZ) + celadonitic (Si approx. 3.3 p.f.u.) white mica (WM) +/- tourmaline range from stringers and dikelets (approx. 1 cm-0.5 m) in migmatitic amphibolite blocks to dikes approx. 30 m x 3 m which intrude the surrounding, locally enstatite + chlorite +/- talc +/- aluminous actinolite +/- anthophyllite-bearingmore »« less
Critical and superciritcal properties of 0.3 to 3.0 mol{center_dot}kg{sup {minus}1} CaCl{sub 2}(aq)

Journal Article Oakes, C S ; Bodnar, R J ; Pitzer, K S ; ... - Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta

Critical temperatures (T{sub c}) and densities (p{sub c}) for aqueous CaCl{sub 2} solutions were measured using two different optical techniques. Fluid inclusions with compositions of 0.5 to 4.0 mol{center_dot}ks{sup {minus}1} were synthesized from 600 to 820{degrees}C and at 1500 and 2500 bars in both the single and two-fluid phase fields. Critical temperatures were determined from measured homogenization temperatures and the observed mode of homogenization (i.e., to the liquid or vapor phase or by fading of the meniscus between apparent equal volumes of liquid and vapor). Critical temperatures determined by this method for 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0 molal CaCl{sub 2}(aq)more »« less
