1 UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH ALABAMA GY 111: Physical Geology Lecture 25: Metamorphic Facies

2 Last Time Contact Metamorphism A) Metamorphic Aureoles B) Isograds C) Index minerals and metamorphic grade

3 Contact Metamorphism Heat only Induced by hot intrusions Metamorphic aureoles

4 Contact Metamorphism Metamorphic grade decreases from the intrusion into the country rock

5 Contact Metamorphism Contact metamorphism is commonly very obvious in outcrop Aureole Sill Limestone Aureole Shale

6 Contact Metamorphism Marble Limestone Hornfels Sill Shale

7 Contact Metamorphism Metamorphic Isograds

8 Isograds Isograds around the Kangmar Dome of Tibet Contact Metamorphism

9 Isograds Isograds in Scotland Regional Metamorphism

10 Index Minerals (Felsic rocks)

11 Index Minerals (Mafic rocks) Important observation: Amphibole only forms from parent rocks rich in Fe and Mg. Therefore the parent rock of most amphbolites is basalt

12 Today s Agenda Last bit about Metamorphism A) Metamorphic Facies B) Retrograde Metamorphism C) Shock Metamorphism Web notes 25A: Metamorphic Facies Web notes 25B: Retrograde Metamorphism

13

14 The Problem: Parent rock Shale Rhyolite Granite Grade Metamorphic rock (granite) Gneiss

15 The Problem: Parent rock Shale Rhyolite Granite Grade Metamorphic rock (granite) Gneiss The Solution: Consider conditions of pressure and temperature rather than parent rock composition
