Solid phase inclusions in minerals from eclogites, peridotites and granulites
Jedlička, Radim ; Faryad, Shah Wali (advisor) ; Jelínek, Emil (referee)
English abstract Felsic granulites in the Bohemian Massif are characterized by the presence of small (from decimetres to several houndred metres in size) boudins and lenses of garnet peridotites and high-pressure eclogites. Pressure conditions of the granulites and their mutual metamorphic history with garnet peridotites and eclogites are subject of long discussion. For this purpose, minerals and textures formed at peak pressure conditions were investigated using thin-sections and mineral separates of these rocks from the Kutná Hora complex. As all these rocks underwent granulite facies reequilibrium and subsequent cooling, most inclusions are transformed to lower pressure and temperature phases. In addition to olivine, orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene, garnet from garnet peridotites contains frequent chromium spinel. The host garnet around inclusions shows Cr-rich domains as result of diffusion from spinel to garnet. Rare ilmenite inclusions with high MgO content and pentlandite were also observed in garnet. Orthopyroxene in matrix and rims of large grains have low amounts of Al and the associated clinopyroxene has relatively high jadeite content. Two varieties of eclogites are present in the granulite: eclogites with pyroxenites and garnetites occur within or adjacent to garnet peridotites. Garnets of...
