Geochemistry and origin of skarns of the Bohemian Massif
Bubal, Jan ; Dolejš, David (advisor) ; Houzar, Stanislav (referee)
Calcic-iron skarns are one of the characteristic part of the regional metamorphic complexes of the Bohemian Massif. Their mineral assemblages, structures and significant enrichment of Ca, Al and Fe were previously interpreted to be primary (exhalation sediment) or secondary (metasomatic carbonates). In this project, which consists of three sub-studies will focus on the geochemical composition of skarn as the main arguments for the discussion of their origin. Malešov deposit belongs to the typical calcic-iron skarns whose mineral assemblages are not very different from similar skarns associations in the Bohemian massif. It consists of lenticular body that is stored in gneiss and migmatites of the Kutná Hora crystalline complex. On the deposit prevails garnet-pyroxen skarn, less abundantly represented garnet and magnetite skarns and skarns replacement by amphibole or epidote. Fine-grained garnet skarns are formed by isotropic dark red garnet (Adr78-88Prp0-0.3), while in massive garnet rocks garnet grains form the core (Adr13-38Prp2.5), which envelop newly formed garnet (Adr28-66Prp1.6). In association with them is often pyroxene (Hd60-90) which can be replaced by hastingsite amphibole composition. Other minerals present are magnetite, Fe-epidote, calcite and albite. Magnetite and pyroxene skarns are...

Differentiation and crystallization of evolved granitic melts, the Říčany pluton, central Bohemian Massif
Jandová, Tereza ; Dolejš, David (advisor) ; René, Miloš (referee)
Evolved silicic rocks display a variety of igneous textures, which can provide important information on crystallization kinetics and rheology in natural magma chambers. Individual kinetic effects such as diffusion rate, nucleation rate, growth rate and post-solidification modifications are likely to be reflected in the modal and textural appearance of the resulting rock. This work focuses on characterization and interpretation of solidification textures in a 600 m wide and 5 km long body of highly evolved, boron-rich aplites and pegmatites at the southern endocontact of the Říčany granite pluton (Central Bohemian Plutonic Complex). This rock suite is associated with biotite Říčany granite, hosting microgranite and aplite dyke swarm, and it is built up by massive tourmaline aplites, layered aplites with tourmaline-rich or locally garnet-rich bands, pegmatite pockets, pegmatite layers with unidirectional solidification textures (comb layers), megacryst zones (analogous to stockscheider), and late pegmatite dykes discordant to layering. Textural as well as modal variations are usually sharp and observable megascopically as well as on the microscale. All aplites and pegmatites usually contain similar proportions of quartz, albite-rich plagioclase, K-feldspar, various proportions of tourmaline (up to...
