Afin d’avancer dans la compréhension de la géodynamique des zones de suture varisque au stade tardif de la collision (en particulier au regard de l’évolution du système orogénique en contexte de HT), nous nous sommes intéressés à la mise en place des vaugnérites, roches basiques ultra-potassiques intrusives au sein des ensembles granito-gneissiques de la croûte varisque des Vosges. Ces roches, souvent associées aux ensembles granitiques tardi-collisionnels, sont de faible extension mais quasiment toujours présentes au sein de ces systèmes. Elles affleurent (1) dans les Vosges méridionales, en masses plutoniques marginales du Granite des Ballons et (2) dans les Vosges centrales (région de Plainfaing), en filons composites, intrusifs dans un complexe de migmatites et de roches métamorphiques appelées granite-gneiss. Les vaugnérites sont des roches mélanocrates à biotite et hornblende magnésiennes (20 à 40 % vol, 64 < mg# < 78), présentant des signatures géochimiques caractéristiques de roches ultra-potassiques mafiques à intermédiaires, métalumineuses à légèrement peralumineuses. L’âge U-Pb obtenu par ablation laser ICP-MS du zircon d’un gneiss à sillimanite du granite-gneiss encaissant des vaugnérites est de 451 ± 9 Ma, révélant un bâti pré-varisque à protolithe ordovicien supérieur. Les grains de zircon extraits de quatre vaugnérites donnent des âges U-Pb (± 2s) de 340 ± 2,5 Ma (Ballons), 340 ± 25 Ma, 340 ± 7 Ma et 336 ± 10 Ma (Vosges centrales). Les données de datation des vaugnérites, identiques aux incertitudes de mesure près, apparaissent donc cohérentes et révèlent un âge assez précoce dans l’histoire tardi-collisionnelle de la chaîne. Ces données, en accord avec les âges publiés préalablement sur ce secteur, montrent que les vaugnérites se mettent en place au Viséen moyen, au cours d’un événement magmatique majeur, exprimé tant dans les séries volcano-sédimentaires (Séries OderenMarkstein) que dans les granitoïdes ultra-potassiques des Vosges méridionales (Ballons) et centrales (Crêtes). Les études pétrologiques récentes sur les vaugnérites suggèrent qu’elles dérivent de la fusion partielle d’un manteau métasomatisé et contaminé à différents degrés par des éléments de croûte continentale fondue. Nous proposons ici que ce « pulse » magmatique ultra-potassique d’ampleur à 340– 335 Ma soit le signe une évolution majeure dans la dynamique de la subduction de la lithosphère rhénohercynienne sous les Vosges centrales et méridionales. Sur le modèle d’expériences thermomécaniques récentes simulant le déroulement d’une collision continentale mature, il pourrait traduire les premiers effets d’un phénomène de délamination lithosphérique syn-collisionelle impliquant (1) une subduction continentale relayée (2) par le sous-charriage d’une lame de croûte inférieure de la marge continentale avalonienne et (3) l’initiation de la délamination lithosphérique au sein du prisme orogénique supra-subduction qu’était le bloc continental saxothüringien-moldanubien. Ce processus conduirait à la mise en place d’un « upwelling » asthénosphérique, initialement localisé aux zones de suture varisque et se propageant au cours de la fin du Carbonifère vers le front sud de la chaîne à mesure de la propagation du front de délamination à la base de la croûte |

2013Book ER4 Auteurs : Goncalves, Philippe; Marquer, Didier; Oliot, Emilien; Durand, Cyril Thermodynamic Modeling and Thermobarometry of Metasomatized Rocks 2013, (OS). @book{Goncalves2013, Determining the p-t conditions at which metasomatism occurs provides insight into the physical conditions at which fluid-rock interaction occurs in the crust. however, application of thermodynamic modeling to metasomatized rocks is not without pitfalls. as with “normal” metamorphic rocks, the main difficulty is to select mineral compositions that were in equilibrium during their crystallization. this essential task is particularly difficult in metasomatized rocks because it is often difficult to distinguish textures produced by changes in p-t conditions from those caused by fluid-rock interactions and associated changes in bulk composition. furthermore, the selection of minerals in equilibrium in metasomatized rocks is made difficult by the great variability of scale of mass transfer (see chaps. 4 and 5), and therefore equilibrium, which varies from micrometer- to hand-sample or larger scale, depending on the amount of fluid involved and the fluid transport mechanisms (e.g. pervasive or focused). finally, another major limitation that is discussed in detail in chap. 5, is that fluid composition coming in or out of the rock is unknown. since fluid is a major phase component of the system, neglecting its impact on the phase relations might be problematic for thermobarometry. despite these pitfalls, we describe in this contribution examples where thermobarometry has been apparently successfully applied. we emphasize that pseudosection thermobarometry is particularly suitable for metasomatized rocks because the effects of mass transfer can be explored through p-t-x phase diagrams. application of thermodynamic modeling to metasomatized rocks requires (1) detailed mineralogical and textural investigation to select appropriate mineral compositions, (2) essential geochemical analyses to define the relative and absolute mass changes involved during the metasomatic event(s), and (3) forward modeling of the effects of mass transfer on phase relations. |
