      In the eastern part of the chugoku zone,Japa,n,ma・ny ultraba・sic rock masses

    with various dimensions are intruded.into Paleozoic formations and their metamor-

    phosed equivalents。AIthough thesc rocks were summarized in a paper by“the

    Research Group of Peridotite Intrusion” (1967), they have not been describcd in

    detai1。Generally they occur as the r&ther large masses in the non-metamorphic

    or slightly metamorphic te∬ains,and乱s rather small masses in the higher grade

    metamorphic in Tari district;and they are remarkably’serpentinized,and have a

    little or no relicts of original minerals such as olivine and pyroxene.The purposc

    of this study is,then,to discuss whether t五ere are differences between these ultra-

    basic rocks,based chiefly on their chemical characteristics,or not.

      This study has been d!one as one of the investigation subjects by “the

    Research Group of Peridotite Intrusion’,.The expense of this study w&s partly

  • Utrabas三c Rocks圭n the Eastem Part of the Chugoku Zone,Japan(IGI&ABE)

    part of Tari district occur as small masses in albite-spotted schists and.phyllitic

    rocks l on the other hand,those in the southem part as large masses in non-meta-

    morphosed。Paleozoic sediments。The geologic map of this district is given in

    Figurc2.     According to:Research Group of Perid、otite Intrusion(1967),the main types

    of the ultrabasic rocks in the Sangun metamorp五ic belt,thc metamorphic parts of

    the Chugoku zone, arc五arzburgite and dunite. In this region described 五ere, t:b.e

    rocks have nearly completely altered.into serpentinite with chromitic spineL

    However,judging from roughly estimated modal compositions of the relict-minerals

    such as olivine,orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene,the rock species of the original

    peridotite are likewise dunite and harzburgite,being accompanied by a small

    amount of pyroxenite,1herzolit6&nd wehrlite in some cases.The associ&ted dikes

    are gabbro and microdiorite。

         The ultrabasic rocks occurring as small masses in the northem part of Tari

    district have wholly been serpentinized,without any relicts of the origi臓1peridotite,

    excluding chτomian spinels,and are not associated with any gabbroic rocks.

         The Sekinomiya mass,the largest in.the Chugoku zone,is in.trud,ed into the

    Sangun metamorphic rocks of glaucophanitic facies derived。from the Paleozoic

    sediments(1:KEBE and IGI,unpublished),and is covered by Tertiary volcanics and

    sediments。The mass is mainly composed of serpentinized dunite and harzburgite,

    in which chromite deposits are sporadically found.

         Several masses of Wakasa ultrabasic rocks occur separately in the metamo卜

    p組c rocks of epidlote amphibolite facies and are covered by Tcrtiary volcanics

    (MIYAKAwA,19611Tottori-ken,19661YAMADA,SAK:AMoTo and UEMuRA,unpub-

    1ished).In a certain mass,monomineralic vein of altered clinopyroxene,optical

    properties of which are not able to be determined,with2~5cm in width,is found・

    Some of serpe・ntinites have been altered into colourless amphiboIe-bearing rocks

    formed probably by thermal effect of intrusion of granitic rocks not・yet exposed

    around the serpentinite masses。

         In Katsuyama district,the serpentinite m乱sses with medium sizes,derived

    mainly from dmite and harzburgite,are isolated each other and are intruded into

    the low grade metamoro1オc rocks(MITsuNo and OMoRI,1963)・Serpentinite from

    Hokubo-cho contains not only olivine and orthopyroxene but also clinopyroxene as

    relict-minerals of original peridotite,pres㎜ably I五erzoIite,and is accompanied

    with altered clinopyroxenite l that is exceptional in the Ghugoku zone。

         The serpentinitc masses in Atetsu district penetrate the non-metamorphosed

    Paleozoic sediments,and are injected by dikes of gabbroic rocks。The original

    peridotites are also probably dunite and harzburgite,

         In Tari district,as mentioned above,there are two types of the serpentinite

    masses,namely small one in the northem part and large onc in the southem part。

  • ultrabasic Rocks in the Eastem Part of the Chugoku zoneシJapan(IGI&ABE)

    The masses in the southem part are composed.of serpentinites derived from

    dunite and harzburgite,rarely from pyroxenite,judging from their relict minerals。

    Some of the masses,however,are of anthophyllite-or tremolitic colourless amphi-

    bole-bearing serpentinite altered by the thermal effects of the late Mesozoic

    granitic intrusions. ()hromite deposits are also foun(i in the large masses and are

    now wor:ked at the we11-known chrome-mines of Japan,such as the Hirose and

    Wakamatsu mines.

         Besi4es,according to CoLEMAN(1966),who studied the New Zealand,ultra-

    mafic rocks,X-ray studies of serpentine minerals reve&1that ortho-and clinochry-

    sotile predominate in the highly sheared serpentinites and lizardite is morc common

    to the massive serpentinites; antigorite is the stable serpentine polymorph in the

    regionaユ1y metamorphosed,serpentinites within Alpine schist or in restricted.areas

    of high stress in the Great Ultramafic Belts,HAYAsHI(1968)also states that

    lizardite serpentinite is formed under the condition of higher oxygen pressure

    than antigorite serpentinite,namely when:FeO:Fe203ratio is lower,1izardite

    serpentine cryst乱11izes;when,FeO=Fe203ratio is higher,a:n.tigorite serpentin,e.

         Only one specimen of serpentine mineral of serpentinite(T60-100)in spotted

    schist from Tari district has been prepared for experiment of X-ray diffraction.

    The X-r&y diffractogram is shown in Figure10・And the serpentine mineral is

    identified as a,ntigorite.This fact suggests t五at serpentinite in the spotted。schist

    might have emp1&ced during regional metamorphism and.have been formed md.er

    the condition which oxygen pressure was not so higher.

         Most of the serpentinized ultrabasic rocks from the eastem part of the

    Chugoku zone may originally’be dunite and harzburgite,judging from their relict

    minerals.However,it is very regrettable that the differences between the small

    mass in higher grade metamorphosed rocks and the larger one in low grade or

    non-metamorphosed Paleozoic sediments are not able to be pointcd out,petrologi-

    cally or mineralogically,and also petrochemically,because of their strong serpentini-

    Z&tion.

         The researchon the condition of serpentinite emplacement and.serpentinization,

    based on oxygen pressure or serpentine polymorph,has not been done enough…
