Abstract

Kyanite-bearing metapelites from the Tshenukutish terrane (Manicouagan Imbricate zone, Grenville Province) display evidence of anatexis by means of dehydration melting of micas. These rocks were metamorphosed during a Grenvillian high-P–T crustal thickening event with monazite ages ranging from 1040 to 1017 Ma. Samples that best preserve textural differences between former melt and restitic domains provide evidence for dehydration melting of white mica at ∼1400–1600 MPa, followed by extensive to complete dehydration melting of biotite up to temperatures in excess of 850°C, and subsequent crystallization of the melt at lower pressures (∼1100 MPa) during cooling to ∼750°C. Dehydration melting of biotite was accompanied by growth of garnet with distinctive Ca, Y and Cr patterns, locally around subsolidus garnet. In addition, garnet in one sample displays evidence of partial consumption before the latest stage of growth. This is consistent with dehydration melting of phengite instead of muscovite, according to a theoretically defined reaction: Phe + Grt + Qtz = Bt + Ky + Kfs + L. In all samples, melt crystallization was accompanied by growth of retrograde biotite and was completed at temperatures above the stability field of white mica. In samples that achieved textural equilibrium during or after melt crystallization only the composition of garnet provides some hints about the partial melting history.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
