AMPHIBOLITE #1

Lineated schistose foliation produced by the lining up of elongate amphibole (var. hornblend) crystals; seen trending left and right in this image. Other minerals such as quartz and feldspar are completely intermixed among the amphibole. The dark, shiny appearance of this rock is typical, although it may range to lighter colors too.

Behavior of zircon in the upper-amphibolite to granulite facies schist

Behavior of zircon at the schist/migmatite transition is investigated. Syn-metamorphic overgrowth is rare in zircon in schists, whereas zircon in migmatites has rims with low Th/U that give 90.3 ± 2.2 Ma U–Pb concordia age. Between inherited core and the metamorphic rim, a thin, dark-CL annulus containing melt inclusion is commonly …

6 Metamorphic Rocks – An Introduction to Geology

Similar to phyllite but with even larger grains is the foliated metamorphic rock schist, which has large platy grains visible as individual crystals. Common minerals are muscovite, biotite, and porphyroblasts of garnets. A porphyroblast is a large crystal of a particular mineral surrounded by small grains. ... amphibolite, or granulite facies ...

8.7.2: Metamorphosed Mafic Rocks (Metabasites)

At still higher grade, chlorite, epidote, and actinolite break down by dehydration reactions, producing a specific kind of rock called an amphibolite. The photo in Figure 8.67 is an example. Amphibolites contain large grains of black hornblende and whitish plagioclase in subequal proportions.

Amphibolite

In common usage, the term amphibolite is applied to metamorphosed basic rocks and other hornblende-andesine rocks in the amphibolite facies. According to Miyashiro (1973), such rocks have probably recrystallized under pressures in excess of 4 kb and in the temperature range 600–750°C.Epidote amphibolites, which have the critical assemblage …
