Figure 1 A. Chalcedony. Photomicrograph (cross-polarized light; field of view heigth - ca . 4.8 mmacross) of banded chalcedony, from south-centralSaguache County, Colorado. As can be seen, thischalcedony consists of innumerable microscopicgrains, virtually all of which are quartz. As noted inthe discussion, this makeup, which is typical, is thebasis of calling chalcedony a rock -- i.e ., it is amicrogranular, monomineralic rock. (© photo by

– Asymmetric ripples – Unidirectionalflow.

Graded beds are bedding layers that “fine upward.”
• Sediment added as a pulse of turbid water.• Water loses velocity and sediments settle.• Coarsest material settles first, mediumnext, then fine.

Introduction• Metamorphic – Changed
from an original “parent.” – Meta = Change. – Morph = Form or shape.
• Parent rocks are called“protoliths.”
• Metamorphism canoccur to any protolith.

• Metamorphism occurs in the solid state.• Does not include weathering, diagenesis, melting.
• Metamorphic rocks often look totally unlikeprotoliths.

Metamorphic rocks have distinctive properties.
• Texture – Intergrown andinterlocking grains.
• Some mineralsoccur only inmetamorphic rocks.

Metamorphic processesMetamorphic change is slow and in the solid state.
• Several metamorphic processes may operate atthe same time.
Kyanite
1. Recry s tal l izat ion –
Minerals change sizeand shape.
2. Phase ch ang e – Newminerals form with: – Same chemical
formula. – Different crystal
structure.

3. Neoc ry st al l izat ion
– Pressure and temperature changes cause originalminerals to become unstable.
– Original minerals decompose in the protolith.
– Ions react to form new minerals.

Metamorphism is caused by one or more of:• Heat (Temperature – T).• Pressure (P).• Differential stress.• Hydrothermal fluids.
Rocks may be overpr in ted by multiple events.

8/13/2019 lecture_16_2011_v1
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/lecture162011v1 35/85
Heat (Temperature)• Metamorphism occurs as the result of
heating between 200 oC and 850 oC. – The upper T limit is melting. – varies based upon rock mineral composition and
water content.• Heat energy breaks and reforms atomic
bonds.
• Sources of heat: – The geothermal gradient. – Magmatic intrusions.
– Compression.

• Often a result of tectonic forces.• Two kinds of differential stress: Normal and
shear.
Differential Stress: pressure that isnot uniform in all directions
1. Norm al s t ress – operates perpendicular to asurface. – Tension
– Compression

Differential Stress• Preferred platy mineral alignment is called foliation.
– Foliation imparts a layered or bandedappearance.
– Rocks commonly break parallel to foliationplanes.
• Foliation developsperpendicular tocompression.

Hydrothermal fluids andmetamorphism
• Pore fluid: water, CO 2, dissolvedminerals
• Pore fluids affect metamorphism by: – Transporting dissolved material
– Acting as chemical reservoirs
– Speeding up chemical reactions
– Adding or subracting elementsPore space
Mineral crystals

• If there is enough fluid flowingthrough a rock to substantiallychange the overall chemicalcomposition of a rock, the processis referred to as metasommatism .

Metamorphic Rock Types• Two major subdivisions: foliated and non-foliated• Foliated rocks have a through-going planar fabric.
– Subjected to differential stress. – Has a significant component of platy minerals. – Classified by composition, grain size, and foliation type.

– Crystallized without differential stress. – Comprised of equant minerals only. – Classified by mineral composition.

– Protolith: slate (shale) – Grade: low – medium – Clay minerals neocrystallize into tiny micas.

3. Schist – Fine - coarse rock with larger micas.
– Protolith: phyllite (shale) or other mica-rich rock – Grade: Medium to high – Foliation: schistosity, from alignment of large mica
crystals grown at higher T.
– Schist often has other minerals due to neocrystallization(quartz, feldspars, kyanite, garnet, staurolite, sillimanite)
– Large non-mica minerals are called porphyroblasts .

Migmatite• Migmatite is a partially melted gneiss.• It has features of igneous and metamorphic rocks.• Mineralogy controls behavior.
– Light-colored (felsic) minerals melt at lower T. – Dark-colored (mafic) minerals melt a higher T.
• Felsics melt first; mafics remain metamorphic.
